Hmm, that's not a bad idea :) I shall have to see how hard it is to track down in the UK.

Mostly, but then I had an idea that I thought might work, so asked, guess it won't though. I would like to do the crystal chamber but not going to hinge the whole project on it :)

Hi guys

I'm playing around with various ideas and was wondering if the holes in a modular chassis disk would line up with the wiring holes in a low profile heat sink?

Disk...

Refining the design :)

Oh, yeah, near the bottom, thx guys

Just wondering if this would be suitable for Li ion batteries? I ask as I already have one for the Li-Po batteries I use for airsoft.
...

Cool, in that case I shall bin them :)

Will the latching switch isolate the battery, as long as the connections to the illuminated parts of the switches are after the latching switch?

Been playing around with the MHS Saber Builder and I think I will need to use the 4" double female section rather than a 3" section.

I have also been thinking of using a latching switch as a kill...

Good point with space being at a premium ;)

Just been reading the NB PDF from Plecter Labs now I'm home and it says it does need an appropriate resistor to run the LED, so I guess the BuckPuck will be needed.

Was going to be using speaker mount v3 with the battery pack attached and attach the NB to it, and if I don't need the buckpuck that would be cool :) I'm doing this at work and for some reason I...

Hi All

Just planning a build and was wondering if you guys think 4 AA's and an NB soundboard will fit is this hilt?

Sounds like good advice. I will be building a chassis with this saber and that will help keep some of the wires in check :)

I was going to be using JST connections such as on TCSS except for the 6 wire one at the LED, though I am aware they will take up some space it should alow me to take parts of the saber out for...

OK

Been doing some more work on the wiring diagrams, I have split the diagram into 2 parts to make it easier to follow, with placings for the quick disconnects.

Part 1...

I guess that is the point I realise it does not fit? ;P

I have been reworking the wiring diagram to make it closer to what will happen when I start putting it together, god this is tricky!! :)

I will be, I can then have practically any blade color I want :)

I know, my plans are somewhat fluid at the moment, I have more or less canned the idea of the PLI, doesn't suit the design I currently favor, and the idea of a double saber was more or less an idle...

This is more of a query really, can a single crystal focus run the 2 LEDs for a double bladed saber? Say run 2 Engin LZ4 10W Multi Color LEDs?

I'm still playing around with the design for my saber...

Does the power to the LED of an illuminated switch need a resistor?

Does this make more sense?

OK

Been looking at wiring up this set up and this is what I have come up with so far, need to sort out the RICE port to
...

LOL

That is true

This design will have 2 buttons, either 2 av's or 1 av and a small momentary switch.
Thinking of putting the recharge port in the base of the hilt to hide it too.

Agreed, though, ironically it's still simpler than my original plan of having 4 switches to change the color on the fly :)

Once I get the wiring diagram sorted I shall post it here and get it...
