Happy to say I got my NB back from Zook today and everything is back to normal. Thanks again everyone.

I think it was my wiring. I had it working before then I redid everything and messed it up the second time! Thank goodness for this forum and Zook!!!

Used 4 aaa nimhs. I did use the kill switch to charge. I have a feeling something with that caused the problem. I'll be double and triple checking it. The charger was in the low setting, can't...

I pm'd zook. We shall see. Thanks guys

Burnt out speaker on my NB?
Hi everyone, so I am putting together my hilt and I went to recharge the batteries. Everything was working fine before and when I went back to check the charge I noticed...

Moved somewhere else.

No, just 250mA is all I've got.

Well, I was going to test that but my meter only goes up to 250 mA. It's not a digital and way over due for an upgrade :-S

Alright, so I've hooked up everything and when I tested the volts going to the led, I'm getting 5v before and a 1.5 ohm 5 watt resistor. I don't get it. Shouldn't the voltage have dropped? I'm using...

Thanks a lot SS! You've been the most helpful member and its highly appreciated.

These are the resistor that were calculated. Does it look correct?

Reeeealy don't want to kill my LEDs!

The setup I have now does use 4.8v and the buck puck. No problems yet. That's why this wasn't making sense to me. But then again i have nothing else connected. I could see that adding the sound board...

So I decided to go with NB for now. My question is, can I use a buck puck since ill be using 4 nimh's? I've read that a resistor has to be used because the voltage is normally not high enough to run...

Haha, I already have two working at the same time, hahaha.

That's what I was thinking. Just keep moving the NB around. I thought that FoC was possible with a single LED though. Something about...

Thanks for the info. I've been reading through it and still can't make up my mind between the NB and the PC. The cost is almost double and I'm not sure Ill be using all the features of the PC. But I...

Hey guys! Got everything going but now my heart (and saber) is calling for some sound!

Is there a thread here with a parts list for the PC 2.0? I can't seem to find anything with specifics.

Will do a Depot run later and see what they have. Thanks!

Got it all up and running! Piece of cake! My only
Question is, if I'm using the regular screw to hold the blade in, should it go in all the way so it's flush? Do I need to cut the screw or go buy a...

Haha, I can tell this will get addicting! Thanks!

Great, thanks!!! Very excited to get this project underway.

Yeah, I'll be placing the other once the discount is available.

Hey guys, here's my shopping list to make the following sabers. I'm looking for something very basic that will light up but also be able to upgrade easily in the future. What do you think?
Thanks...
