Awesome thanks :)
you are right about the clash sensor, though I still have rhone that is in the blade so can I use the original clash sensor or will that not wire correctly?

forgive me my...

So I read your over your post and I mostly understand what it is you did... a couple of things though first what if I don't want the switch, do I just connect the green, yellow and orange wire...

Hey thanks I'll definitely read that...

I also have a Mace saber that I could do the same with as well so maybe I'll think about converting that one, but we'll have to see.

I am actually...

Ok sounds good...
just to clarify, so your saying that the most likely the board won't have enough power to run 3-LEDs even in parallel?

kool thanks :)


Question has anyone ever put a royal blue / royal blue / red Tri-LED in a saber to make purple that way?


Oh and I start machining this week so I will post some of my progress...

Here is a pic of the battery box open as much as I can without destroying it.
It looks as though it may be a 4.5v source... You can see the orange wire connecting the (+) and (-) of battery 1 and 2...

Yea I figured the buck wouldn't work...
I run a 3.7v lithium in my mace conversion saber without a problem and am running a soule p4 in it.
I wasn't sure about the voltage of the Vader but suppose...

Hello all....
I have an old Master Replicas ANH Vader FX Saber that broke, is it possible to wire a luxeon or Cree tri led to that saber's board? Would it have enough power to run three LEDs?

I...

Alright so tried out the new iron and it solders brilliantly! :)

Thanks guys for the suggestions on iron... I am using the 60/40 leaded solder right now but it melts the tin/copper tuff really...

Yea me neither I missed that part... Thing is I will return it if its not going to work


~ edit ~
Also I have noticed that the coating on the wire is very thick the wire with coating is about a...

I went back and it says tinned copper wire? It is stranded and its 28 AWG wire in 25 foot spools
I bought a bunch from the river because I was buying a bunch of stuff from them anyways, I probably...

So I ordered some spools of wire from amazon and... It's not copper I am use to using copper is this a big deal or is there an issue with current or even breakage of the wire being that it is't...

Okay that makes sense...
With color mixing on prism board you would want the resistors on the (-) because they share a common positive though, right?

Alright so I ordered the new soldering iron should get here on tuesday so we'll see how that goes. ;)

Ok kool thanks I appreciate it...

What sort of tips would you recommend? I was looking at the .8 tips for small wires and boards..
These ones here...

Thanks yea... I will have to do something about the iron I think its getting way too hot, I've read a lot of forums and that is the general consensus that if your solder balls up and oxidizes right...

Thanks a lot I really appreciate it

-- I have been reading that my iron may be too hot for circuit board work being a constant full on 40 watt iron, what do you think? Do you have any solder would...

Okay yea I have some flux paste, though it doesn't seem to be helping all that much... I think it may be the solder :|

~ Edit ~
So i have been reading further and it seems that my Iron may be...

Hello all

I would ask please read all this post before you guys reply it will help with any misunderstandings or confusion on everyones part and sorry I do tend to be long winded I will try and...

Thanks, yes this much I do know, while I am not the best at ohms law and electrical calculation, I know enough to be dangerous to be honest, I usually wire in the resistor for each LED separately my...

kool thanks that probably would work


So I watched some of the TCSS videos can anyone tell me why he used a .5 ohm resistor at the common positive on the main LED?

I like putting JST connectors on my builds, especially for speakers and switches and such, but I am going to want to wire my own connectors because I want certain color combinations will the standard...

ok thanks... yea I've been watching the videos you guys have... I have considered the idea of using the hidden aux switch somewhere...

Do I need a color extender board... I was under the...

Hey yea thanks I have been reading over the manual for the prism board I don't actually have one in hand still on a waiting list for it so hopefully not too long.


Yea I was looking at wither...

Awesome! Can you drop me a link to where you got the font?
Im pretty excited about this build to be honest, so much planning to do and figure out
