Hey, sorry for the delay, actually, I put this project down because of how annoying this board is. I have since completed this build after frying two boards with bad soldering. Below are some tips on...

You lucky dog! I'm trying to figure out how to keep the LED on when the flash on clash happens because it flickers off completely and it's annoying. Maybe I can run a wire from the speaker contact to...

Absolutely! Can't wait to see what you make! I'm getting in the last of my parts today so I'll post soon also.

Yes, the small white box in the video was a resistor. That one was a 3.9 ohm 5 watt capable resistor. Also the LED you posted will work. Just calculate the proper resistor using the tech data from...

Heres the updated diagram:12331
Where it says (Bridge here) thats the place where the main LED pos/neg is. I dropped a bead of solder here and wired to the gate pin. This is the N Mosfet I used from...

If you want to remove older from the board safely, you can use a product called a "desoldering braid" essentially you place on top of the connection and place your soldering iron on top and the braid...

I recently cracked open the cheaper hasbro Kylo Ren saber with the intention of using a PNP transistor to power the LED but it didn't work so I used an N MOSFET instead to power the blade. Theres a...

With some help from the ask electronics reddit, I rewired the saber. This time I used an N Mosfet transistor and its working beautifully. I can now light the main LED with the first activation sound...

I'm not too worried about the voltage since the other hasbro diagram thread says 3-6v. Does the diagram look sound though?

EDIT: By the way, the sound is amazing if you give it enough tube to...

I just took apart the Kylo Ren Blade Builders saber and I was wondering if someone can check my wiring diagram.

I just bought this and took the board out of the saber, theres some pics of it here:...

Hi everyone, I recently built a lightsaber using a 2010 yoda board and I now have "the bug". I purchased the $29 Hasbro Kylo (Blade Builders) saber and ripped out the board. Unfortunately, the board...
