Thread: Tri-rebel setup

  1. #1

    Exclamation Tri-rebel setup

    Would it be possible to set up a tri-rebel in seriellel with a CF 6.1 and 7.4v battery? Because of the driver wouldn't it sense the right voltage to give to each ? And if I set it up to give two amps . The pair would get one amp and the one by itself would get one amp correct? Or is this just not at all what would happen

    Seriallel is for string LEDs. And that is not how you would wire a CF with three LEDs.

    Well I've heard of seriellel for a quad rebel.

    But alright better to put the 3rd die on the onboard Pex correct ?

    You attach it to one of the on board PEX, but it's probably better that you use an external resistor when you do.

    FJK is there any reason I couldn't use a buck puck instead of a resistor coming off the on board PEX?

    SIZE! The proper resistor will be significantly smaller than a buck puck!

    the buck puck is 0.78" x 0.78" x 0.43" (plus all the space for the wires). The average size resistor I used in my build (2w) was about 3/4" long (leaving leads to solder to), but not even 3/16' in diameter.

    You run out of space QUICK inside a saber!

    Not to mention price as well. Also, buckpucks and sound boards don't mix well. Buckpucks are for STUNT setups.

    I think I have the space. But if it isn't going to mix well and there will be little glitches or somthing I'll use an external resistor for sure!
    Thanks bigkevin61 and FJK!

    Because buck pucks are not good with soundboards, would the Dynaohm variable resistor not work well either when lighting up a switch light through a soundboard? (CF)
