Upgrade the hasbro obiwan with Makoto's v3.1 LED strip

[makototsai]

Just upgrade the LED strip blade of hasbro with Makoto's v3.1 LED strip.


I has use my V3.1 blue led strip with Hasbro obi saber.
Use the original blade mount and soundcard, just change the led strip.

Hi Makoto,

I'm a big fan of yours after purchasing a purple lightsaber from you last year. I'm really impressed by the brightness of it.

I've just recently bought a Hasbro Darth Vader removable FX lightsaber and I am thinking of doing the exact modification to the stock LEDs by changing them a set of brighter ones. May I ask if you did nothing at all to the hilt on this Obiwan upgrade and changed only the LEDs in the blade to your v3.1 LEDs? Any tips will definitely help.

Thanks a lot Makototsai! Just want to confirm that you do not need to disassemble the hilt to change or remove the resistors on the Hasbro board right?

i am not use ANY resistors on my led strip, because the current is not enough for my led strip blade~~XD
