Thanks GregTheForce, i thought i might get away with light dueling.

[GregTheForce]

please ignore this

[AlainCrusade]

Right, i can always upgrade to a better blade.

[GregTheForce]

Another question right here, are you planning to do sll this without a soldering iron? Because you only use MWS parts..

[AlainCrusade]

right, i don't know how to solder and my father knows; but his eye sight isn't the best.

[GregTheForce]

Just seeing, you don't need a BuckPuck use resistors for the leds look up FJK's resistor calc tutorial if you don't know how to calc them

[GregTheForce]

I guess it would be better to learn soldering (i started out 2 weeks ago and it is relatively easy) but if you don't want it, i guess it is ok but you don't have some features like FoC. I think soldering is better but you will get through it both ways (hopefully)

[AlainCrusade]

i thought the Nano Biscotte Sound Module V3 had FoC with the on board power extender?

[GregTheForce]

Yes it does but i am talking about the pre wired Led which TCSS does not sell with 3 dies pre wired...
