Not to derail topic but does anyone know what transistors are used on the MR/fx boards?
Sunrider - depends on the board - the yodas use SMD transistors labeled "I A" and the ventress boards, which i think use the more normal ones, are labeled "K MPS 8050D 927"
Badkitty - what are the specs on the LEDs? MCD rating and view angle and size and brand?
edit:: got the PM! neither of those LEDs have wide enough view angles sadly...
how about flat top led ?
Emitting Colour:5MM FLAT TOP BLUE LED
LENS Type:Water clear
Color Temperature: ~
Luminous Intensity-MCD: Typ: 12,000 mcd
Reverse Voltage:5.0 V
DC Forward Voltage: Typical:
DC Forward Current:20mA
Viewing Angle:140 degree
Thanks Az I think I got a match.
Badkitty - those sound like they'll work fairly well. might be a bit of a pain to handle at times though. might as well get some and give it a try! ^_^
Sunrider - after all the help you've given me, it's the least i could do. ^_^
ya , looking at the pictures of them ...they look like they'd be easier to stack on top of each other more evenly , due to flat surface. pretty cheap too..i'm gonna try it.
again thanks for the info and help :D
.. ok so i just ordered 100 5mm flat top led. 6000mcd 180degree angle. will be here in 3days :D i'll let u know all how they look. the ones i linked above were coming from hong kong.. 2x the price and delivery 3 weeks. lol..so i opted for these and sooner.
/jealous! everything i order takes at LEAST a week to get here...
From my experience with a foam tube with a tear partway down it, any cut or tear in the foam will show up as a bright line in that part of the blade, since the plastic outer tube isn't quite a tight enough fit to smoosh the foam together at the cut. So I'd say it'd be a bad idea to cut the foam open...
The LEDs Sloth used in his RotJ were these: http://tinyurl.com/slothsleds and have a 30° view angle @ 7200-21000 mcd. So we know that if you're linking 90 of them together, that viewing angle works fine :D
Would it work to put the LED string in through the slice, then seal the foam tube closed by wrapping it with some clear cellophane packing tape?
is there a maximum current the MR board can handle? would it be able handle say 2 led strings? with 2 18650 3.7 Li-ion 3000mah batteries in parallel ? hyst trying to get the aboslute brightest i can ..i only want to make one saber and not redo it again later.
i made a ladder with those LED i ordered...brighter than the MR stock blade , but ya it aint gonna cut it. i want more
