But that shows a tri-star; aren't you using a quadpod?
Hi!
Here is a new wiring diagram using actual CF8 board.

Nope: I use a triStar for this saber. I previewed to make use of quad (Cree XM-L as suggested in another topic) for another saber, based on CF8+CEx. I'll surely make another BuildLog for that one as it will be "miiine" and I have planned some weird interior design too... But actually, for the current saber, no. Just a TriStar... :| ;)
Ah, I guess I missed the QuadPod being for a different sabre. I'll watch for your wiring diagram on that one with interest!
CF8 just hacked to make it "single cell" complient. :)
The hard way: too big soldering iron, too short tin-sucker (I don't get the actual word for that copper bread ^_^)... About half an hour to make the bridge out of a steel-that-don't-want-to-be-tinned wire... :) And at last I use a cotton-bud to spread flux arround and it made lint I had to remove with pliers. :) A loooong day... ;)
Hello!
I eventually found time to go with wiring my CF8 and all the components for testing.
My wiring diagram was incorrect: power LED chan2 et chan3 were inverted! I placed the anode on the PEx of the chans and the kathode on the Pow- pad of the board... :P
Well, the LED did not fry.
Now, it works fine!
Any hilt progress? I wanna see the whole thing. Looks nice. Its like a cross of Luke's Empire and Jedi lightsabers in a way :P
Hi!
I'm done with the sound board settings.
I quite slow as I have to look after my newborn who is quite "time consuming" ;) :D
I'm waiting for a new drill (I broke the last one few weeks ago) to start with body modifications and screw placements. Actually I'm missing a dramatic part: the Graflex clamp, so I'm also stuck for this reason. I run into a lot of interesting adventures ;)
I'll check your saber references as they look interresting too :)
Thanks for reading!
Regards
Hi!
I'm not dead! Just lost in the outer rims...
Ho! And I made a hole! (and some scratchs)

:cool: ;)
I'm sure I'm close to the end!
