Great tutorial. Have you tried a Seoul P4 Red? I was thinking that might fair well with a hasbro board.

Great tutorial. Have you tried a Seoul P4 Red? I was thinking that might fair well with a hasbro board.
Hey Great tutorial! this should save at least five new question threads...
Another way you could house the soundboard, sensor etc. is by taking a film canister and putting all the stuff in it.
That way if you have kids (or ciblings)
they can play with the hasbro saber 'till you finish the real one!!!:D
Good stuff, Rhyen! I like how you used some of the old hasbro blade for the housing for the sensors and board. Nice Work.
thanks for posting this Rhyen, saved me the time of asking someone how to do it lol. but one quick question, you still have to resister/puck the led correct?
I direct drive the LEDs straight from the card. The voltage is a little higher than the recommended forward voltage of the LED but the current is lower and the current is what you really have to be concerned about. I know some people who have been using sabers with this same set up for almost 6 months and they haven't had any problems with the LEDs. They use them all the time for fighting too.
this is awesome... I actually just bought a hasbro and gutted it to use in my curved saber... it works great but this would have saved me a good bit of time!! Excellent tutorial sir.
DDD
I have updated the first post on this thread to include a list of other toy hasbro lightsabers that have all the sounds and this turorial will work for those too, with a little less work.
What do they sound like with a decent speaker?
They sound pretty good with the TCSS premium speaker. I have made around 50 sabers with these cards and the TCSS speaker and they sound good but not quite as good as the MR.
