Hello,
I’ve started to gather the parts to build my first saber and I’m sorry to say I have a resistor question. I’m planning on using a Nano v3, 18650 3.7v battery and a tri-rebel Lime/Lime/White. TCSS site says the forward voltage on the lime is 2.75. If I did the math correctly, it looks like I need a .95 ohm .95 watt resistor (round up to the 1 ohm 2 watt available on the site). However, I also watched the TCSS video for calculating resistors and Rob suggested rounding the battery voltage to 4. If I do that, it looks like I would need a 1.25 ohm 1.25 watt resistor. Which calculation/resistor do I go with?
1 ohm 2 watt, 1.2 ohm 3 watt or 1.5 ohm 5 watt?
Similarly for the white, if I use 3.7 volts I should need a .6 ohm .6 watt but if I use 4 volts I’d need a .9 ohm .9 watt. Since this is just the Flash on Clash, can I get away with using a .5 ohm 3 watt resistor just to give it some protection or should I go with a 1 ohm 2 watt?
Thanks for the help. I’m really looking forward to starting my build.
