Love the video. Great editing and great "beefy" sound.

OK, thanks. So the adhesive will hold the LEDs on the heat sink I suppose.

As for the rest of the circuit, I have that covered. This was just about the actual LED module.



Ah, OK. Thanks.

It's actually a premium speaker. What I think you are hearing (i.e. not hearing) is a complete absence of swing sounds.
When I shot the video, the chassis wasn't complete and the NB was positioned...

Quick question before I order some parts ...

I bought a ready-assembled and pre-wired LED module for my first build but this time around I'm putting it together myself. Just want to check that I...

Thanks again, all.

I shall follow all those pieces of advice. Thanks again.

I think I've got my wiring sorted now then.

The idea is to use one AV momentary switch as the activation switch. It's blue ring will light up constantly as a power On LED when the kill key is...

Thank you ever so much. It just looked totally nuts to me so I'm very grateful for your input.

And this is how I understood what you said regarding use of the Power Xtender. Of course, the resistor is soldeed in between the two lugs marked (+) but that line has to connect the (-) of the white...

Thanks once again for your patience. I admit, I'm getting confused.


OK, got it.



If I put my only wire with a resistor between the (-) of the white LED and the FoC pad, doesn't that leave...

I have my PC 3.0 and my extra Power Xtender and I am working on my wiring plans for the FoC part of the circuit.

The most relevant diagram I can find seems to be this one (below) from the PC 2.0...

Thanks for the feedback, everyone.

All in all my first lightsaber build went smoothly and without unforeseen snags. The most time-consuming part was getting the package of parts out of customs! :roll:

Many thanks to all those who...

Really like this concept and build.

Thank you.

I understand now that you were showing me an alternative and less restricted solution to the standard solution. Advice going beyond the basics rather than just the "rules". This wasn't...

Sorry about this, but I feel I have to revisit the FoC solution. FJK, please do not interpret this as me doubting your advice; you obviously know your stuff and your advice is clear and easy to...

Many thanks. Very helpful.
I would never have thought to reference the section on 'pseudo colour mixing' to be honest. I thought I was just setting up a should FoC.
Time for approach 2, i.e. read...

Isn't it always safer to use a resistor?



You're quite right. I did realise I was supposed to use the FoC pad and not one of the accent LED pads (I presume that's what you mean by "the 3.3V...

I am currently planning wiring for a probable future project involving a Red/Red/White Luxeon Tri-Rebel Star powered by a PC v3. I would just like to run this by those of you with more experience to...

If you are in France, or anywhere not within the USA, you will need to source an equivalent battery pack locally (or at least from a supplier who will ship to France). USPS won't ship lithium...

Excellent. Thanks.

I have bought a loose 5mm LED to use in a future build as an accent LED, running it off the 3.3V accent pad of a Nano Biscotte.
It's specs are 3.0V forward voltage / 20mH current, so I will be...

Thank you. That's all very useful.

I might go back to the drawing board on this and consider using activation box style 1 in the middle of that section. As much as anything I just want a more...

I'm working on drafting another design and I have a few questions which I have not been anble to answer with the "Search" button.

It's a purely MHS build, based roughly on Luke's ROTJ saber(s)....

I console myself with the thought that my hobbies are (kind of) getting progressively cheaper! I've gone from having a nasty addiction to expensive guitars (too many to list), to expensive plastic...
