Yeah bad habit, good news for me is that the safety shield won't close with the wrench in and my chuck sits too close to the ways to fit on the underside either. I do have the habit of hand-spinning...

I have two different models built one for outside with internals just kinda fudged in, if you look at the cut-a-way view there is space between heat sink holder and the top of the crystal chamber. ...

Looks like I just lucked out. With the Box there is enough room between them when mounted vertically. ...
AWESOME! Thank you, you just save me tearing apart my daughters saber, something that she does not approve of.
And thanks for the kind words about my design guys, it has been kicking around in my...

Looks like my major components will fit. Now I need some measurements for the length of a recharge port...
With the store closed and feeling the constant itch to work on saber projects I did a little more thinking/sketching and then started on the CAD model.

I have an Ignitier 2 I intend to use for sound.
Either a single 18650, or a side-by-side (3.7v) 14500 pack.
A crystal chamber in the ribbed section with the bottom shroud sliding to either...
Howdy guys,
I'm returning to the saber building hobby after a few years away, I made a few amateur and simple sabers a few years ago. While those sabers were kinda "meh" I really enjoyed making...
I plan to play Sith but I'll roll on Harbinger. See you guys in game.
No wonder I couldn't understand where people where getting the readings that showed weak current. Mystery solved!
I need to know a bit more about the setup. You are using a 4.8v battery pack correct? Did you use the 5v regulator like in my diagram?
The regulator is redundant and not necessary if you are...
Sorry, I'm already in a guild with the express purpose of waiting for TOR to be released.
TroyO that is exactly what I thought. However I haven't found the magic spot on the board I can use to do such a thing that doesn't make the board act funny.
As for using a latch switch, that is...
I am currently waiting for a few components to come in the mail. I have it rigged up so that it reverses the output as I said earlier but the problem is that when the sound is off and the saber is...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transistor
Read the section about the transistor being used as a switch. And yes it will allow you to drive the LED at full power (5v as wired).
Here is a new saber I just finished for my brother.
...
Nothing.
And yes, although you could of course use a buck puck to drive the LED.
Here is the way I used this board on one of my projects. (Cut an pasted from another discussion)

OK here is a wiring diagram of the way I rigged my version up. First here is what it looks like by default when you first remove it from the plastic saber.

Here is a picture of a 2010 Obi-Wan board after I have finished some heavy modifications.
I first moved one of the...
Update:
I have had some success using an op-amp to reverse the signal coming from a cheap Hasbro board. Only problem with this is that the LED in question is then on when the saber/sound is off. ...
My current project is an attempt to do this effect as well.
If I have any success Ill post it. And while for some it is easier to "Just get a CF" that opportunity hasn't presented itself to me.
...
OK, that is not the same board as the OP posted about but is one of the "Newer" cheapy boards.
I used that same sound card in a saber for my cousin. Inside of a hilt I found it to be WAY too...
At least he offers free shipping.
