if I was to run MWS Luxeon Rebel Star (Amber) off the NBv2 would it need a MWS BuckPuck 700mA? Or would I have to run a resister? Sorry, never wired up a NBv2 before, not wishing to fry out anything.
Wiring question for NBv2

may have found the answer, puck is for no sound sabers so unneeded, shall try to figure out the resistor/s I shall need. Took me a long time to find the answers in the archive sorry guys.

More to the point, the BuckPuck minimum forward voltage is 5V, which I believe is the max forward voltage allowed by the NB. Running either Lithium batteries or NiMH, you will either be below the minimum forward voltage of the BuckPuck or over the maximum forward voltage of the board.
Sounds like you figured this out, but I'll throw this up here for anyone else's benefit. I'm about to wire up a NB2 with the same LED as soon as my final chassis parts arrive tomorrow.
My part list for the wire up is
NBv2
MWS Luxeon Rebel Star (Amber) (Rebel Star LED & MHS Heatsink Module)
16mm Anti Vandal Momentary Gold Plated Switch OR 16mm Anti Vandal Latching Yellow Ring Switch (not sure if I want to use the ring switch for this build or not )
MWS Recharge Port
single Ultra Fire Efficient 18650 3.7V 5000mAH Lithium Rechargeable Battery Yellow with a dummy cell
MHS speaker and 2x AA battery holder
I know this just turned into a parts list but does she look good? If i read right I will need a resistor for any accent lights as well as the rebel star correct?
small shot of the shell I am working with. I know I have to drimmel the speaker mount down to fit.

The 18650's don't fit in the AA holder, the 14500's do.And yes, you'll likely need a resistor if you use a lit AV switch. Other than that, it looks OK.

"Yeah, yeah, I've heard it all before... you want blindingly bright, super loud, running 1138 blinkies off of the cheapest sound card you can find AND you want all of it to run on a battery the size of a dime, and run for a very, VERY long time. That one cracks me up every time..."

thank you forgetful, would I need a resistor for the rebel? Also the no fittign will not be an issue then I have another speaker I can run with and just wire it into the MWS. Thank you for that heads up as I had to get the batteries here in Canada as they don't ship them.
