Thank you!!!!!
Sweet. Now I can reference this video and the other one when I begin my next projects. Thanks!
Great vid Rob. I have a few questions, is a resistor not needed on the pex for the foc die? I noticed you didnt wire one up. If a resistor isnt needed, whats the reason for a smd resistor accommodation? What possible scenarios where a resistor is needed on the pex for the foc die?
Thanks for any input
A resistor *might* be needed. It depends on the battery pack voltage and the particular LED you are using. Most of the time, you will need a resistor. Occasionally you'll have battery/LED combinations that allow you to get by without one.

Nowadays with the Nano Biscotte, I would not use a resistor on the FoC PEx unless the FoC LED was a red/orange/amber (2.1 volts approx).
Thanks for the response guys. So just to confirm, the tri crees like http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Gr...ova-P1015.aspx are safe to use with no resistor on the white LED while using a NBV2, correct?
I personally would put a small resistor on it, just to be safe, but that's just me. I'd rather spend a buck for a small resistor, than $20 to replace a Tri-LED.
Always a pleasure to watch you videos Madcow. Keep up the good work.

Use this if you wish, until Tim gets the .5 Ohm in stock:
