Hello everyone!
This is my first post, and I thought I'd share this with you. I was looking for wiring diagrams, tutorials, anything to get a nice, bright purple saber. The tri-cree seemed optimal for a bright FoC effect, too. I got all the parts together (list is forthcoming) and got to work assembling. Everything went well, mostly. I messed up somewhere, but nothing too serious. Still, it didn't do what it was supposed to. I did get the LEDs to light up, with a nice shade of purple, btw. I knew I'd messed up a linkage somewhere, as the red led turned on with av switch led, as soon as I pulled the kill key. I thought I could assemble the separate diagrams into one cohesive construction as I worked, but I was mistaken. I then set about creating a schematic of sorts that I could follow. Now that I have that, I'll share it with you. But first, here's my parts list.
Panasonic 18650 3.7v Li-Ion battery
switchcraft 2.1mm charging port
Nano Biscotte v2.0
Power Xtender 2.0
16mm AV short momentary switch
Cree tri-xp-e2 r/g/rb
1ohm 2w resistor
18ohm 1/4w resistor
I didn't include a speaker, because it didn't seem worth even more clutter in the real estate to consider something so trivial. What you should know is that I only resisted the red LED, and altered the drive & fdrive values in the config files.
drive=943 (red & blue LEDs)
fdrive=990 (green LED)
Okay, now here's my diagram:

Thanks to all of you that have gotten me this far. You have my sincere gratitude. I hope this is useful to all you purple saber fans!
