can't seem to view your attachment CET, do you have a link to the pic ?

I need to know if I have an issue with my 12mm AV switch I got here from TCSS. I might have blown the LED, or it may be faulty.

Please post pics on how bright your RED AV switch is, and which...

This looks great, I'm building one with the same GOTH crystal chassis, but it arrived broken the other day. Set me back about half a month for a new one.

Anyway, which 7/8 blade are you using?...

ordered a GOTH chassis for my graflex 2.0 off shapeways and received in the mail the other day. Unfortunately it was shipped with a part of it broken off :| . Probably happened during the...

Yes this is the red 12mm AV bought right here at TCSS. Are these ones known to be dimmer?

the dynaohm? this is how its wired currently:

are you saying flip the resistor?

I havent unsoldered anything yet, but when I tested it without the resistor initially it was just as dim. So I would assume so... :/ looks like I'm buying a new switch.

the pic makes it look brighter than it really is tbh. Looking at red av switches on youtube and those switches throw off light like crazy. Mine surely does not. Just take a look at this video:

Just hooked up my red 12mm illuminated AV switch (forward voltage = 2.0V and runs at 20mA) for the first time and it's very underwhelming. Even in a dark room.

I have a 20mA dynaOhm resistor wired...

Xeno, you did nothing wrong don't worry. It's more of an unspoken guideline (not official) on these forums not to mention this certain company due to its controversial past. It may or may not ryhme...

Mine came like this as well. I eventually got it off using pliers. Try gripping the threads with a rubbery textured object, and twist the hex nut off using pliers carefully. You are not missing...

Seeing as the chassis disc spacing tubes are all out of stock at the moment, it looks like I'll be buying the 3/16 brass tube from the shop and cutting it myself. My question is, what's the best...

you don't think the white LED will be way too dim by almost doubling the resistance needed?

Ok so my current build uses a Tri-Cree Red/Red/White set-up (Reds in parallel each with a resistor, White is for FOC). I need advice on which TCSS resistors to use.
Battery = 3.7v Panasonic 18650...

I always search before posting a topic.

I've seen that thread, but the way it's worded does not mention that it posts full size images. It makes it sound like you just post a link and it takes you...

I've seen several different methods of posting pics around the forums (photobucket link, thumbnail image, etc.)

Some posts i've seen have full size pictures within their post so theres no need for...

which MHS part did you use for the middle piece ? (the one with the grooves)

did you request custom lathe work?

Kongo, make sure to check the manual for the NB version 3, because this accent switch pad has changed location due to it causing issues with accent LED dimming

I'll be honest, I've never seen this saber before, but I like it alot.

There will be quite a bit of custom work here as Nano has stated above^ , (claws/fins, groves, protruding buttons). For the...

gotcha, Thanks. Hope to see it soon

I use the MHS builder often to roughly check my measurements for my planned build, but I've noticed that pommel style 4 (Pom4) is not in there. Is this part just newer and therefore has not had time...

Can't believe I missed that part Nano, thanks for that.

So currently I am designing a saber inspired by Darth Revans using MHSv1 parts. While planning the build I've been modeling each part in CAD to make sure everything will fit correctly when I recieve...

Thanks for all the help guys, much appreciated! here's an updated wiring diagram with your suggestions and calculated resistor values:

R = (3.7v - 2.4v) / 0.7A = 1.86 ohm

P = (0.7A)^2 * (1.86...

doesnt my diagram show the Red LED's wired in parallel? Or am I misunderstanding Madcows video?

Also, where would I add the second resistor ?
