Hello there TCSS Forum,
I've got a nice little home office that doubles as my man-cave; not a lot of wall space though. I've also got a small but growing collection of TCSS sabers that I've built...
That's interesting! So instead of using 2 NP strings back to back like you would inside a full blade, you use just one string and loop it back like an upside-down "U" inside the plug? And you can do...
That's good to hear! I hope you post it somewhere in the forum here when you're done with it. I love seeing what people come up with when making custom plugs!
Oh okay. Looks like a custom build for that plug. I see that it does use the NP blade-side PCB. Do you happen to know if he used either of the methods I described above? If not, what he used to make...
Hello all,
So I've been very leisurely planning my next build over the past 2 years, just grabbing a few parts at a time, and I think I may need to change course now just because of how gorgeous...
Sounds like a plan. Thanks for looking into this with me, FJK. I'll post an update if I find anything in that regard.

I only adjusted one color profile, as I usually only run Green and I wanted my FoC to be yellow and not magenta as the default had been. Currently, that profile is running channel 1 @ 861mA while...

I've got the R/G/RB Cree Coppernova and the PC/CF Color Extender V3. The Red and RB are connected to the CEX and the Green LED goes through the high-power LED pads on the CF8, no resistor. I also...
Good morning everyone, and May the 4th be with you!
As you can expect, I've got my older builds charged up and ready for today while I work on my next saber. While goofing about with my 2017...
These builds just blow my mind. They way everything is so flush and fits perfectly AND lines up once they're docked is just incredible to me and I always have to stop and think about how you might...
Apologies everyone. I'm fairly certain I found the issue. My first saber used a 3.7V battery so obviously the charger I bought was rated for that battery. The very last thing I would have thought...
So I posted a short while ago about my CF8 not running properly. It was suggested it was a power issue. I checked and found that the saber would not charge. All my wiring was fine and I found no...
that's what I'm thinking now as well. I plugged it in to charge and its reading full from the charger indicator led. I am noticing now that the switch LEDs are no longer staying on. Something isn't...
X-Post from the general thread area to a more specific Crystal Focus area.
As the title says, my CF8 keeps rebooting in the middle of use, seconds after the blade is activated. I finished it last...
As the title says, my CF8 keeps rebooting in the middle of use. I finished it today and was using it just fine for about an hour, testing the colors and sound font rotation, playing around with spins...
That's good to know! Would that happen to be this pad here? http://imgur.com/a/Lr1xU
Hello Everyone,
As the title suggests, I'm in the market for a new iron. My old one works jokay but it takes really long to get hot and I find i need to hold the iron and solder to the contacts...
Hello friends,
I'm moving on to my MKII saber now and I've upgraded from NB to CF for this one. This is both exciting and challenging as I'm learning a new board from scratch. I've done my...
Hello, all.
Still conducting research for my next build. This time I'm looking for insight from people who've made green blades with these two setups and want to know just how different they are...
Thanks, Chasm! I love your replies, answering questions in-line makes it super easy to get the info I'm looking for.
Hello Everyone!
I completed my first saber a few months ago, unfortunately I got so wrapped up in it I forgot to take any progress pics to share. I will say that thanks to the help of everyone...
Well that's first-timer work for you haha. In all seriousness, thank you both for all the answers you've given me. I'm speaking to Tim right now about having the pros wire that pad for me before...
In addition to my previous question, is it possible that I may have bridged my DS pad to the teeth of the processor chip if I used too much?
