I'll get frustrated going back and forth with the SD card. I'm a very visual person, so I'd like a sort of live-preview as I'm tweaking the various settings. I came up with a new idea for the chassis that makes the Bluetooth RICE receiver unnecessary as a port should do just fine.
That being said, trying to get a 7.4v battery to work with the Prizm seems like more trouble that in would be worth, which was a big part of what I was wondering. I think I'll just stick with the 3.7 and call it a day. I'll save space in numerous ways taking that route and really don't foresee myself needing much more power than that. Honestly the lightsaber will probably sit on a shelf most of its life just waiting to be shown off. So I don't need a ton of battery life. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't going to be missing out on anything huge by not trying to make the 7.4 work.
My mentality is somewhere along the lines of where minorhero was for his first build. Theres a chance this will be my only build so I wanna do it right. Thanks for all the help!
