Hello and greetings fellow saber enthusiasts. I have a stunt saber I bought elsewhere that I am wanting to give some sound treatment. I think there is just a hair over 1" ID to work with. I pulled out all the electronics and the guys work left a little to be desired, ie: electrical tape instead of heat shrink, not clear which wires are +/-. Anyway, I am wanting to gut the saber and install an NB soundboard, new LED and battery pack. I just wanted to make sure I am on the right track as far as parts go and not missing anything. I have built one stunt saber before and I can solder okay, but this would be my first time working with a soundboard.
Parts List
NB Sound Module V2
SPST Momentary Switch w/Black Button
2W 20mm speaker (I would have liked a premium 28mm speaker but not sure it would fit)
2AA Battery Holder (I didn't see dimensions on this, would it fit inside a 1" ID hilt?)
Dummy Cell (already have an extra Li-Ion battery)
Luxeon Rebel Star White LED
Luxeon Rebel Lens Holder
Collimater Lens 8.7 Viewing Angle
Star Thermal Tape Pad
1ohm, ?W resistor
I had read I could make a heatsink using a copper fitting cap and that is what a lot of people use on PVC builds. Would that be sufficient for this sort of build?
In the PDF about the NB board it mentioned 28 AWG wire. I have 24 and 26 so should I get 28 or would one of those be sufficient?
I read one 14500 Li-Ion battery is enough to power the NB board and no buckpuck is necessary, but is it sufficient for a white LED since they are supposed to be run at 1000 mA?
I'm looking forward to any suggestions or input you might have on this.
