Hello folks,
Today the parts for my third saber arrived! (there was much rejoicing)
Due to a recent move my shop is pretty much completely packed up. So this saber unlike my first two is...
Your understanding is correct. The exact shade you want would need to be tweaked using either resistors (the hard way) or through RICE which is available to you depending on what board you use for...
I live with two cats and I can speak perfectly frankly when I say you are worrying needlessly. First of all you will never have enough material rubbing off of your saber to make anything ill....
I am not sure it matters for the Pico crumble. All possible led configurations are activated through the service menu after the board is wired. They assigned letters to that in the manual but the...
I just finished my second saber which was a pico crumble bbw for my daughter as well. Worked out great!
If you are worried about the spaces involved for soldering definitely make sure you have 1)...
This is really looking like my favorite saber by you thus far. Is this going to be a kill key or switch or just a greebie?
Vader's vault Facebook group also has a lot of folks buying and selling.
I can remember seeing at least one video pre-tcss quick connect that did exactly what you are describing and I admit I have thought about doing the same. I am weak in the area of electronics however...
I thought it looked professionally shot. Really admire it. Makes me want to go take better shots of my own sabers :)
Great job on the saber and great job photographing the saber! What was your camera setup?
The Prizm 5.1 supports string blades as well. This is what my next saber is going to be using.
2 strips of 144 "neopixel" leds will be brighter then any tri or quad cree out there. It also has...
Is your battery fully charged? A lot of weird problems are related to that.
The regular 2.1mm recharge port sold in the store has a built in switch on it so that with the charger removed it bypasses the port. Your USB recharge port would need something similar. To my...
I am building a LED strip (neopixel) saber next. But my understanding is that 2 strips are needed back to back in order to not have half your saber dark. Again I haven't done it, but unless you are...
Great job!! I watched on my phone and the sound was blown out a bit so I can't get the full effect, but it was clearly loud. I liked the font as well. Made the saber sound 'big' if that makes any...
I just built a saber with a pico crumble and a tri cree blue blue white setup with the white as flash on clash. Worked great. I also have a lit AV switch and an additional accent light all driven by...
Thanky Tom, you are definitely right about the battery. I swapped out my battery pack for another that I luckily had lying around. Instantly I was able to turn on my saber normally. Thats the good...
Hello,
A few weeks ago my lightsaber shut off on its own while I was using it. For reference this is a crystal focus 8 sound card. My lightsaber would not turn on after that. At first when I...
If you are going to get into building a saber and have questions regarding that then yes I would start a new thread elsewhere. That said tactile switches are held in place using a ring. You can see a...
I always thought these mats were something you could cut heat shrink tubes on or solder wires together. I have never owned one. If made of neopreme are they actually mousepads?
Pretty spiffy! Paint looks good!
The nano biscotte and prizm cards sold in the store support neopixel strips. However, to me knowledge both will need you to connect new momentary switches. This is not a big deal, but it's something...
I like it! Is that 1" pipe or something else? What did you use to make the shroud/blade holder?
I like your design, especially the custom coupler you are having machined. I looked at the picture before reading your post and my immediate response was "where is he getting that piece done!?"
