Using a 3.7 Battery. Rounded to 4V per Madcow's vid and verified with online LED calc. but still would like another set of eyes,

That's totally fine.

Thanks!

So I wired it all up today before work and everything works but the blade seems really dim. I'm thinking I had a moron moment so let me see if I did this right.

POS on my FOC has the 1 ohm 3 watt resistor inline.

POS on each of my blade LEDs has a 1.5 ohm 3 watt resistor inline for each die.

Should I have just put a single 1.5ohm inline to both blade led positives ?

Single inline resistors or one on each LED will be the same electrically.

Check to be sure your battery is fully charged. Verify the settings on your sound card, some cards have defaults set a bit low for safety reasons.

What is your blade setup? Do you have any diffuser material in it? Clear blade, transwhite, or other?

Had the thought about the battery so it's on charge now. Blade is the TCSS 40" show. Gonna cut it a bit for a plug as well. Also tested with my MR blade just to compare.

I'll double check my card settings tonight when I get home. I overmanaged my wire and can't pull the chassis out lol. So I may rework my build to flip the NB to SD card facing rear.

Thanks for the tips!
