    Question Wiring check, Prizm with RGB-Rebel Star

    Hey there!

    I am about to build my first color-changing saber, and I hope you pros can look over my wiring diagram.

    WP_20150809_15_04_28_Pro.jpg

    I didn't draw the RICE-cables, as they are really hard to get wrong, even for me

    Does the rest look ok to you?

    Common positive for the rebel star dice (red with a transistor, I was planning on leaving green and blue without one), general power indicator on one of the switch LEDs (with Dyna-Ohm resistor), 2 momentary switches, and a recharge port.

    Again, excuse my horrible attempt at drawing...

    Any opinion on this is appreciated!

    Looks good to me.

    That diagram is nice & easy to follow. Kudos. Are you planning on only resisting your red or did you just mean you're putting a 1ohm 2W on each color?

    I was actually just going to use a resistor on red.
    I never had a blue or green single LED gone bad without a resistor, neither on a NB or directly driven in a stunt setup.

    If you were to tell me not to go resistorless, I'd probably reconsider

    All main LEDs should have some type of resistor (even if it's a small one) on them.
