i have a luxeon k2 http://cgi.ebay.com/High-power-Green...#ht_500wt_1156 and a accent led for a crystal chamber http://cgi.ebay.com/50x-green-EXTRA-...#ht_2851wt_905 im going to buy a 2010 hasbro obi wan lightsaber http://cgi.ebay.com/Star-Wars-Electr...ht_1876wt_1139 will this board be able to support the luxeon k2 and the accent led with a recharge port on a li ion battery ( i do not know what voltage to buy)
thanks
First, holy carp, formatting.Originally Posted by renexardroma
Next, there are numerous threads, including (if i'm not mistaken) this one, on the subject of modding hasbro boards. Please read through them, then using one of the many web-based calculators, you should be able to calculate what resistors, and voltages would be most appropriate for your desired set up.
When your lightsabers gutter and die in your hands,
your blaster packs run dry of charge,
your words of power dry up in your throat and I am still standing,
what will you do then?
so i can use the luxeon k2 right
Yes, check out the page on wiring diagrams for that board, it tells you everything. I know its a lot to read, but read it anyway. then read it again and bookmark it.

with the transistor setup in the diagrams on the very first post, yes.

Right, what Az said. You can't run a K2 LED just from the LED output coming from the board, you'll never get 1500mA out of it, so you'll need to use a transistor.
Also, how are you going to mount that LED in a saber without it on a star base?

Hey all, I've got all the parts for this build, with some Li-Ion 1850's ready to go...have for about a year, now.
However, every radio shack I go to has the 5v regulator that is the 7805C model, as opposed to the A model shown in the diagram, and shown here, on the radio shack website
http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2062599
The C model says that it has a maximum output of 1 amp, as well as fixing the voltage at 5 volts. I'm worried that this won't be enough power.
Will the transistor increase the amperage to feed the led properly, or do I need to hunt around for the model A, specifically?
actually, there's a 10% tolerance on most of them, so it might be able to draw a bit more without heating up too much. the A, B, and C models are all the same though.

If you're using a Rebel Star, they're rated at .7 A (700 mA) so 1A (1000 mA) will be overdriving by .3 A (300 mA) and they'll still work. The p4 is rated up to 1 A so you're good there too.
