Thanks! I was going for a Quinlan Vos/Qui-Gon Jinn/ Kotor feel. I'm happy the thing even lights up!!

Hi everyone.

I am new to lightsaber building and to the forums. I was wondering if you all could help me with my electronic gut. I have my lightsaber build using instructions from http://bigyellowbox.tripod.com/, but I have no clue what parts I need for the electronic gut. I have some parts on my wishlist. They are a 12mm Anti Vandal Momentary Green Ring Switch, a Nano Biscotte Sound Module V3, a BuckPuck 1000mA 6-wire, a Luxeon Tri-Rebel Star (Green-Green-White), a MHS Heat Sink V3, and a 18deg Tri-Rebel/Cree Star Lens. What other parts would you all recommend I get? Is there any parts I should get rid of or switch since I am a beginner?

Welcome to the forums!

Toss the Buckpuck, since it doesn't work with the NB. The voltage requirements for the NB and Buckpuck are incompatible. Download and read the Nano Biscotte manual. When you've read it once, read it again.

You'll need some resistors, and an appropriate power source for your NB. A 3.7v li-ion cell is ideal. Don't forget a speaker as well.

Hi. This may be a stupid question, but is there any soundboard which are compatible with a buckpuck? I heard that the buckpuck is really good when it comes to allowing constant flow to the led light without the blade dimming.

No, the Soundboards don't work with a buckpuck. And depending on the board, they might have current drivers on them anyway.

Okay. Thank you so much. This is helping me a lot.
