Not quite. Lockup needs to be triggered by the Aux button, FoC is "done automatically" assuming you don't "deactivate it" via the board's configurations.

ok thanks... yea I've been watching the videos you guys have... I have considered the idea of using the hidden aux switch somewhere...
Do I need a color extender board... I was under the impression that the prism had everything built in as far as I know?
I saw in the video with nano biscotte that he used an extender board for the FOC function.
On anther note; I am going to finish my design sketches this week and organize my shopping list for what I will need and see if I can't get this baby going shortly... there will be a short intermission for my steampunk cowboy costume for Halloween but otherwise, I want to stay right on track with things.
The Prizms DO NOT use the color extender boards. Those are for the PC and CF's.
I like putting JST connectors on my builds, especially for speakers and switches and such, but I am going to want to wire my own connectors because I want certain color combinations will the standard JST connectors work with 28 awg wire?
This: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/JS...ale--P941.aspx will probably work with 28 gauge wire. If you can't crimp the connectors down tight enough to the wire, just solder them in place.
kool thanks that probably would work
So I watched some of the TCSS videos can anyone tell me why he used a .5 ohm resistor at the common positive on the main LED?
Without the resistor the LEDs can draw more current than they can handle and they will pop. Although Rob uses a single resistor for two LEDs wired in parallel,it is generally recommended to resistor each individual diode
The size of the resistor depends on the current capacity of your battery and the forward voltage (VF) of your LEDs using Ohms law :mrgreen:
looks like the KOTFE font has been added to saberfont!
Thanks, yes this much I do know, while I am not the best at ohms law and electrical calculation, I know enough to be dangerous to be honest, I usually wire in the resistor for each LED separately my question is why wire a .5 ohm resistor into the positive (+) position and then wire additional resistors to the negative (-) position of the LED? Why not, just like you said just wire each LED separately and directly? Is it only because thy share a common positive?
I have always personally just wired my resistors to each LED separately.
And is there a point to whether you wire it to the Positive (+) or Negative (-) particularly, I have always heard positive but then I read more now where people suggest negative?

Nice thanks!Quote:
