tri-reb rgb color mix stunt saber

[darkeyedkid]

I've run a Tri-Rebel RGB off a single 18650 with no issues, using one, two, or all three dice. Look up my "Asp" saber if you're interested.

I see you have 3 DynaOhm resistors. I hope you're not planning on using those with the Tri-Rebel? They only provide 20mA of current, and that's not nearly enough to run the Rebel LEDs. Use normal resistors instead.

I like it.
Before I delve in completely, might a higher voltage be beneficial? Maybe 4.5 or even 6?

A higher voltage won't help if you're running all the dice in parallel. All you need is sufficient voltage for the highest Vf of the Tri-Rebel dice (3.4v)

Okay good to know. Thanks Silver. Just one more thing, someone was good enough to direct me to this diagram. I don't want to come off that I don't trust him but I'd just like to corroborate with at least one other person that this is a correct wire up for a tri-reb color changing saber. wiringrgb2_zps0ccf012f.jpg

That diagram is correct.

hmmm, there doesn't seem to be a 2.2 ohm 2 watt resistor in tcss. :/

This helps me as well because I was wondering about the Tri-Rebels. Like can you use a 4 AAA battery set up with said resistors?

I don't see why you couldn't. I might just stick with one of the 3.7v li-ions though unless a 4 AAA setup works better with your project.

4 AAA will not last very long, nor will it dish out the kind of current you are looking for to run any type of Tri-Rebel setup. Use Li-ions.
