    I'm pretty sure the pixels are 5V pixels. I don't think we can arrive at harmful amperage on a 3.7V battery, but maybe I'm mistaken. I run mine full blast in every color, I haven'

    All these MR hilts look the same to me. This one was NIB, and he never even turned it on, and I had to gut it. The grips had a lot of that aged rubber sticky goo on them. I put the switches up in...

    This project with the homemade chassis was the precursor to what I did to the saber in this video. It went from 18650 S2 in-hilt led conversion to 26650 in-hilt, and the 3rd and final iteration for...

    I just talked to the owner of this saber last week, and its still going strong 8 years later!!!! He wants to convert it to neopixel with smooth swing now. That makes me pretty proud that this saber...

    Aux is for auxiliary switch, or a second switch. Many of the more advanced boards provide for an auxiliary switch to activate auxiliary functions. NBV4 doesn't have an auxiliary switch, so you...

    My guess is that you have the V1 Pixel Strips that are 264 wired in series.

    3.2 Volts is not a "full" battery. A fully charged 18650 is 4.1-4.2 Volts. Your board will cease to function at around...

    Data. Without a data signal, neopixels won't light at all. Improper wire gauge will make them dimly lit, but even with thin wire gauge, they will still light up, IF THEY HAVE DATA and Power.

    Where did you get this from? Battery Negative Pad and GND are bridged on Proffie 2.2. They are both common. Neopixel negative goes to the fets. Not sure what your question means. I have...

    The trustfire batteries that TCSS sell have a lower cutoff in their protection circuit. They are fine for tri crees, but not for neopixel sabers. You need a protected circuit battery, 18650 with a...

    Jake,

    Sometimes, I have found that the butt connector (that holds the pin target neopixel blade connector), will sometimes widen the base of the blade a tad. If the butt cap, the blade end is a...

    If you twisted blade hard in socket, you could have bent the pins on the hilt side connector, or jammed the data pin in where it won't make contact with the blade target. But now you're saying the...
