I believe Tim did the conversion on that.[?] Meridian changed the Anakin hilt to look sort of like a Yoda hilt. All of it can be done basically.

Corbin's driver has a nice extend/retract but it does not have sound. If you want sound you can use a hasbro or FX for that purpose but the Corbin board is for the LED. This has been said a hundred and ten times before but anywho, give it a try you will like it.

Grouch, even though I can't stand the MR strips I see where you are going with this. You will want to use a resistor across the wire that would supply current to the bank that would be missing. That way it would maintain the same current across all leads instead of boosting up the ones you have left. It could be posible that they could take it but with out playing with one I would not guarantee that.

I agree that a Lux with a short blade would be the preferred deal. Keep in mind that when you shorten the groups of LEDs they will appear less of an extend/retract effect.

Thanks for the advice. It looks like I will have to do a bit of research on the LED string itself before I get started.

It will be a while before I take such an under taking. I may do an LUX blade with corbins driver as a prototype before I take on the task of LED strings.

THanks for the help and ideas guys.

Grouch I didn't know if you knew it or not, but you have time to edit your posts. I think it is like 30 minutes or something like that. You can edit versus make a new post. Just thought I would let you know.

Now on to your posts. Corbin's board is designed by one of the people who helped make led sabers popular. His board was desinged to give the extend and retract effect. It also drives the led to be brighter than just a resitor wired in can do. There are several wiring diagrams on his website and around here. I don't believe that his board works with the MR strips though. You could just use a led in the hilt which would also make your saber more durable.

The great thing about this particular board is that you can edit forever. There is no time limit. And yes we do like to try to limit our double/triple posts.

Yes I have been known to do a few[V]

Sorry. I didnt know that making multiple reples was a no no. []I'll fix that in the future.

Sorry I've read a lot of the forum and most of the FAQ but I havn't read anything about the qualities that Corbin's driver has, let alone 110 times.

[xwingband]

It has been stated a few times... but I'll add it to the FAQ anyway. It will maybe clear things up in the future.

At least 9 ot 10 times[] There is a lot of confusion over corbins driver, it will be good to have a description in the FAQ of what it is and what it does. Xwing maybe add a link to the wiring diagrams for corbins driver also in your description.

Hey it is no problem about the posts Grouch. I was just letting you know. It is easier to edit than start a new one sometimes.

I don't think you will be disappointed with a lux saber. You have lots of choices of style and color and plenty of upgrade capability. With Tim constantly adding new things in the store you will have more choices than you know what to do with.

I would definately recommend corbin's board. It has cool features and will allow you to run the led at its maximum.
