Ok so if anyone is reading this because of a similar problem or just curiosity, here's the conclusion. When I calculated my resistor values I was not rounding up on my battery voltage. (3.7v to 4v)...

Quite alright. Thank you anyway. I watched the video and definitely learned I need to buy some equipment so I don't have to mess with all this trial and error nonsense.
Continuing with led issue, I...

Thanks! Yeah I figured the it being 3W wasn't a problem. If I understand resistors correctly the wattage takes care of heat. And I can't imagine .03ohms (.5-.47) is going to make the led that much...

I am wondering if my resistors are resisting too much. When I configure my blade for a White blade color (1023,1023,1023) it ends up being slightly pinkish. If I assume all my connections are good...

It sounds like this is your first or one of your first builds. Nothing wrong with that but you are going to have an infinite amount of questions with that hilt. You should really wait until you have...

Good thinking. Thank you!

The first day I received my CEx I dropped it out of the package and broke what I believe is a ceramic coil. (heat regulation?) I'll include a picture. My question is this: What type of problems could...

HELLO! I am about to do the same thing with a Makato String Blade. I'm also about to wire it to a PRIZM V4 and I had the same exact question running through my mind. My sabers have been passing this...

These are great options as well. Thank you so much for the advice! Now I have a productive direction to go in!

Thanks! No , I cant fit the 14650 because of the width. There's just enough room for a single cell 18650 in the top half and the bottom half of the hilt. With the choke being in the middle, I was...

Thanks! Incredible info and very much appreciated. I was looking at it again and had an idea. The big problem I'm having is a choke in the middle barely fits the 18650 pack width. You can not fit any...

Hello!
I'm am having serious space issues with a hilt. I'm considering going with a 7.4v 800mAh 14500 Battery Pack to power a Crystal Focus v8 wired to CeX Board and a few accent Leds. I haven't...

I will definitely check those out. Thank you guys so much!

Thank you for your help. I bought these from SuperBrightLeds which I thought was good source. If anyone knows a good source that has that guarantee it would be much appreciated. Otherwrwise thanks...

I'm using 5mm Green 3.5v 30ma for a string blade with a NBv3 powered by a 3.4v battery. I'm using about 120 of them currently for the blade. When the blade is lit some spots are darker than others,...

I'm trying to figure the highest setting for the main driver in the NBv3 config file. I know the standard is 1023, but I can't find anything in the literature about the max setting. I also remember...

Thanks for the info! I'm building this as a gift for a friend and I was looking to design it so he will not need a charger. I like your dummy cell idea, but maybe I'll just go all out with the Li-ion...

Hello! I was hoping someone could tell me whether or not if a 4xAAA Battery set up would be too much power for a Nano Biscotte V2 card? I have a 4xAAA battery pack w/speaker I would like to use.(and...

OK now I understand. What kind of faux Graflex is it? (Parks 2.0, Hasbro, etc.?) Maybe there's a way to get the effect you want. Again, thank you for the compliments! I'm not on the forums too often...

The pieces used to hold the crystals are little brass plumbing adapters. I don't know the correct name but they are hollow and have a small step lathed into them. I bought them at Home Depot in the...

No purpose other than cosmetics. When I cut the 4 discs located behind the crystals in half I had the other halves left over. So I thought I could use them at the bottom of the front side of the...

thanks!!

Hey! I sold this on eBay back in Feb. of this year and the auction went very well. The majority of the parts were bought from TCSS, including the Crystal Chamber. So, I...

That's just stunning work. It's right up there with Genesis sabers. Excellent job.

That sounds spot on! Wiring them with the blade seems to be the way to go. I think the missing resistor was definitely the problem last time. Thanks
