noob parts list check for saber w/ sound
howdy,
I am a total noob to the saber world.
ive purchased from ultra saber before... but well...
i want it to include sound...
and part of the process... is... building your own saber...
a pre thanks for any help answers and replies.
so plans and knowledge.
my goal is to purchase parts between now and aug, and build for my bday in sept with my buddy hes buying parts as well.
up to this point i have a radio shack $20 soldering iron and very minimal electrical knowledge.
i made a pipboy with 3x 3v led lights running off a 9v battery with a switch. wired, soldered shrink tubed. no resistors.
i am 100% confident i could build a basic saber no sound.
i have watched the TCSS build videos on youtube that had direct links to parts lists. everything made sence as to what was going on.
so before the parts list check.
A. Do i need a better soldering iron?
B. Do i need more tools than my wire strippers and heatgun for the shrink tubing?
(i do have those grabby hand clamp things)
Parts list.
undecided on the color at the moment but between the green lime and cyan they are all the 1000mA.
i would love to eventually make a saber with a charge port. but the goal for first sound build is light, and sound on movement and powerup/down
