What kind of sound card and battery are you using?

"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..."

i am not useing a sound card... yet.but my battery is a 4 aaa battery holder with jst connector!
It will work, however, with 4AAA batteries, you will have a very short run time.Originally Posted by obi2kenobi14

how short? and would a different battery pack help?
Very short, and yes, a Li-Ion solution would be much better for you.

Why not use a Buckpuck? It would provide constant current as your batteries died, making your LED brightness relatively constant as you use your saber.
buck pucks are probably not the best idea in my case because i have a short saber hilt
