Yep, Brian is one of the ones I thought of when I saw yours :). Keep up the nice work.

I'm glad you like them! I'm planning on making a "how to" pixel blade video this week (if I have time), from start to finish. (well, my blade tip is already glued in.. but other than that)Quote:

I have used pixel strips in sabers, lighting projects, and props that have been been put to hard use in filming. I have never spent more than $20 on a meter of 144 pixels and I have never had a problem.

But I also haven’t heard if the wattage of the resistor matters either.
Do you mean the resistor for your data line? The recommended range is 220-470, so swapping for a lower one or temporarily bypassing it should be a pretty easy check. An easy cheat here is that 2 470s in parallel will be equivalent to 235. The power rating of the resistor should be effectively irrelevant.
She's all done :) Prizm v4. Tri-Cree G,G,W, Photon blade.... machined aluminium and bass. Leather wrap and stiching. 3d printed chassis and crystal chamber background.

Congrats, it beautiful. I really love that switch plate.
