Thread: First build parts list

  1. #1

    Default First build parts list

    Hello all! This is my first build, and I'd like a review of my parts.
    Here is my list so far:

    I'll be getting the wiring, heat shrink, and resistors elsewhere.
    The only thing I'm not sure on is the battery. I know that I need 7.4V for the BuckPuck, but I'm not sure which battery is best.

    Thanks!

    Your parts list looks fine to me. Any of the 7.4v li-ion packs will do the job for you. If you can fit it in there, I'd recommend one of the 18650 or 18500 packs, as they'll give you the longest runtime between charges.
    We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

    I decided to change somethings so I can upgrade to sound in the future without having to buy a bunch of new stuff. I'd appreciate it if someone could review my updated list.

    You don't need a lens holder for a tri LED. As well you will need a buckpuck or resistor for your main LED and a resistor for your AV switch (I would recommend the DynaOhm).
    I would also get a JST connector to mate with the one on your battery. I forgot to get one of those for my build.
