Petit Crouton Sound Module and Ultrasaber's Bane with VA

[Rezolution]

I want purchase a Petit Crouton Sound Module from TCSS as soon as they come back into stock but I wanted to ask a question before I do.

I have an Ultrasabers Bane in Violet Amethyst. I'm not sure what type of LED they run in it other than it's an RGB LED. The color i have makes use of two of the three dies. It runs both Blue and Red to mix VA. From what I've been told from Ultrasabers, two active dies use the same voltage but twice the current as one die.

Does anyone know what type of LED they use for a VA bane and if the Petit Crouton Sound Module will be able to provide enough current to it? I can put a multimeter in series with my battery pack and actually see how much current is being used with the Ultrasabers direct drive method but I just though I should ask before i spend the money and wind up ruining the board LoL.

I'm guessing that I would wire up both dies to the same solder pad on the Petit Crouton Sound Module but I have no idea what I would set the power to for this R+B mixed LED.

Yeah, measure the current flowing there. The PC can put out max 1500 mA.

offhand i would guess it's a DX RGB using 1400mA between the two dies. let us know what you find! ^_^

Out of stock already? wow

The board will automatically sense the voltage of your LED, and you'll just need to set the LED current in the config file on the uSD card.
You can measure what current the LED is getting currently with a digital multimeter.

So I just write down the current it's using in it's current direct drive mode. Then when I would wire it to the board, I would wire both dies up to the same pad on the PC board in parallel and set it up for the same current it was using in direct drive mode (in parallel). It shoulnd't matter that two dies are hooked to the same pad in parallel (and that R is resistorized and Blue is not). Unless one of the wires ever came loose while I was dueling LoL.

1400ma?!! No, no, no. Keep it at around 1A to be safe. They do use DX RGBs, which are cast off prolight 3W RGBs. They have a max ma of 500ma per dice. We have run them at 1.2A off of PCs and CFs, but that's with PC's and CFs They have an impeccable driver.

Fender to the rescue!
Yeah Az, I was going to say... those things aren't THAT power hungry.

(On a side note, how's the new Padawan doing Alan?)

[Azmaria Dei]

ach! i was way off then! thanks FenderBender! ^_^

[FenderBender]

1400 would be fine (though could be more) with a LEDengin 10W.

Padawan is doing fine now, thanks
