Flux... must use flux. That's the best advice I can give besides a very hot iron when soldering to a PCB that doubles as a heat sink. I have a really good soldering station so I don't anticipate...

Oh! I kinda assumed when FoC fired up, the PC2 dropped power to the main blade! Well heck, that's a piece of cake then! :D

Now just need to calculate the resistor. The PC2's main blade driver...

Yea, that's my "easy way out" since it's just the reverse of an "Oppression Stopping Purple" saber. :D

Maybe I will just do that. The more I think about it, that would be pretty cool. I was...

Actually, I'm thinking of making a pale whitish-green blade. What would you suggest with a green-white combo main color and just white for FoC?

Awesome! Thanks for all the help! I think I got enough base info to solidify everything I want to do in this project of mine. I'm an engineer and consider myself a decent machinist so I may be...

I've seen a few sabers on here, one of which appears to be FenderBender's Ultima for example, which seems to have a sheathed part over a MHS part and then immediately hits a choke peice. My question...

Didn't I read somewhere there some disadvantage for wiring them in parallel? Will a Petite Crouton drive them in parallel?

Ok, I kinda get it. So the LEDengin is attached to the heatsink with thermal tape. Then you take a blade holder MHS piece, drop in a focusing lens from the bottom and screw the heatsink in behind it...

I've been pouring over this site and the forums for over a week now trying to work out in my head and understand exactly what I'll need to do to build my first saber. I think I've answered most of...
