The chip itself can only handle 3-4.5V which means any board you design will have to use a voltage regulator to protect the chip. Then, you'd have to know how to make an LED driver to go with it. What controls the LED driver? Not this chip obviously, as it is mostly just a simple player. Sort of like another soundboard out there..... Seems silly when you can get an FX soundboard for that or less shipped. and it will drive an LED, or a ladder blade, probably sound better and all on a board that fits in most hilts. Hell, a 2010 Eco' board might sound better and you can get those for $16. But, if you are a tinkerer type, by all means build a board and saber around this chip and show us what it can do. Im always interested in new things.
