Stumbled on it a few weeks ago and was pretty bummed when it didn't work. This is a good day. Thank you to everyone that put work into this site. The community really needed something like this.

thank you all very much.

i have been trying to get all this wired up. still need to drill holes for the speaker and finish the switchbox. i booted the board up to test it and did'nt have a...

very nice work. this is going to be such a nice saber when its all finished.

Thanks bud. you are not going to have to wait very much longer. i am making some proggress on getting the guts all wired up and crammed into the hilt.

first things first i have been playing with...

Sorry for not responding sooner I have been pretty busy lately. I plan on putting a petit crouton v1.6, a 2w speaker, a led engin 10w led (RGGB wired up fora a cyan color) , two 14670 li ion cells,...

very clean. i am glad you got to get this part all banged out. looking forward to seeing this in the saber. -Pat

ha i will keep them for now. i don't think i want to change them unless i can make a mold to turn out my own.

thank you very much brett and dustunite. wiring this saber up is becoming a pain. i...

This is a very goond point. I want to minimize he amount of imperfections on the saber as much as possible. They are present and though I will most likely be the only person who notices them. I more...

This is a clean design. I am looking forward to seeing the progress. What color are you planing on using for this saber?

thank you Impa. they are pretty comfortable and because so much time has been spent on them already i am a bit hesitant to just switch them up. i was looking at the ESB style grips Tim sells in the...

Thank you everyone for your feedback. I guess the grips will stay. Last thing I need is a PCB and to mill out wire passageways. I am so ready to light this thing up. I hope will have something to...

Sloth, that is just beautiful.

got my wish! the boss man let me use the cnc to get the holes for the grips drilled and tapped.

Thanks TD and silver. I am still in my element though. We will see what happens when we get to the electronic side of things.

I am going to be working on the grips today. Not a big step forward...

i am defiantly liking the way this saber is turning out. i am glad you are starting to post stuff up again. i have been waiting to see this one finished.

all these sabers with the crystal...

thanks Boj i take that as a very high compliment. i was a bit nervous about posting my stuff up on a forum full of very skilled machinists.

today i got more pics so you guys wouldn't be so in the...

thank you knighthammer. i think i am starting to get the hang of this manual machine. i feel more comfortable on it. still a lil' nervous but i'm sure it will pass.

today i got a lot done and i...

Oh that makes so much more sense. I knew I was mixing something up. Thanx Bender I was thinking i was going to have to start my project over because of that.

Good call Chrystal i have some 14650...

see that's what i am confused about. if i use 2 14500 cells then i will have a 7.4v pack with 750-1000mah. how is the board going to supply the main led with 1.5 amps if the batteries don't even...

Sup guys and gals, its been a long time. I got into this hobby back in 07' but I was a kid and didn't have the funds to follow up on any of my designs. Around the time I did have funds for projects I...

Powering all of this with the space I have is going to be an issue...

If I am going to run the blue and green pads In paralell on a RGGB ledengin 10w (with FoC™), a 5mm accent led (wired to behave...

kool i rewired the blue and green pads in parallel it worked out pretty good.

thanks bender the blue and green blend much better than the blue and white. i started this project kuz i wanted to...

So rewire it for blue green main and wire them in parallel? Parallel = positive and negative lead for each color die?

Right amps thanks for the save. (I don't wana be responsible for confusing someone that is reading this later on) this is good news though. It was one of those "it works!....wait is that it?" Moments.

So I just wired up my first 10w ledengin. It was not so hard just do as Bender says and it will all work out. I chose a RGBW cuz my girl wanted a blue saber. I wired the blue and white in series....
