Okay!!! Here we go!

The JSTs will take up room, especially the more you use. If you are using a NB, and leave yourself enough room and/or do a good job at planning and designing your hilt to make installations easy on yourself.

Haha that's exactly what I was planning on doing right now, I was going to post some graph paper drawings tomorrow or later tonight to hopefully get some more help or suggestions from you guys... Thanks for all the help so far!

[J-door8]

Sorry for the double post but I wanted to ensure that people saw I had more questions... Haha otherwise I would have just edited the post above.

So what I want to do right now is throw a list of parts together and have them approved so that I can work on taking their dimensions and putting them down onto a few drawings... So, this is what I'm going to try to go with this time, keep in mind I'm just going to gut the hilt i have now and start over haha

NB sound board
Amber rebel star LED w/ a 2.7 ohm 10w resistor (correct me if I'm wrong, I tried to use that calculator in Silver's sig)
16mm Short AV switch
Single 18650 Li-Ion battery
Recharge port
Premium Speaker

I'm sure I'm missing some things up there but I also wanted to focus on making a chassis because I want everything to be snug inside the hilt this time (I didn't do one for my first since the only thing in there was a battery pack haha).

Acrylic chassis disks for NB and single 18650 battery
2- 4-40 Threaded shafts
MHS Speaker mount v4

Will I need anymore chassis disks or will those two work just fine?
Also, the shop says that the chassis disks will not work with a pre-wired NB, if I decided to go w/ pre-wired, can I just use my rotary tool to make room for the connector in one of the disks??

Resistor value looks off. I plugged in 3.7v source voltage, and 3.2v forward voltage @ 700mA for your Amber Rebel LED. I got a 1 ohm 1 watt resistor.
You should be able to use a rotary tool to mod the chassis discs for use with the prewired NB. Cut slowly, and try not to break the discs.
Make sure your AV switch is a momentary for use with the NB.

Everything else looks fine to me.

Hey thank you! I didn't know exactly what one of the values were so I clicked on the help thing and used 2.1 for what the site gave me haha.

Oh and that's cool I will have to order two pairs of the disks then just in case haha

Well awesome I'm going to start drawing stuff and come back in a while! Thanks a ton!

[Silver Serpent]

No problem. I always grab the LED values from the Rebel page in the shop: http://www.thecustomsabershop.com/Lu...Star-P523.aspx

[J-door8]

Would a 1 ohm 2w resistor work? Or would I have to go looking somewhere other than TCSS for a resistor? Because I don't see a 1ohm 1w resistor in the shop.

[Forgetful Jedi Knight]

Yes, that would be fine.

okay so I will post this really messy drawing as soon as I can find somewhere to scan it, but I before I do I think I am not seeing where one of these JST's will go from the pre-wired NB.

I have the one that goes to the switch, and the one that goes to the speaker, and the one that goes straight to the recharge port.
I think this last one is supposed to go somewhere leading to the LED but I don't understand how exactly it will fit in...

[J-door8]

I know I'm missing something someone help me figure out what it is! I tried to make the drawing as close to scale as possible but w/o all the dimensions it was a bit of a guessing game. Underneath it is a wiring diagram that is essentially the same thing as the saber hilt drawing...

If you are talking about the pre-wired AV switches, you would have to do the soldering of the other half of that JST yourself. the pre-wired NB's haven't taken the AV LED wire into account... yet, but I'm sure Tim will be working on it.
