    Erv, you make a newcomer happy. I wasn't properly trained in the soldering arts. I will watch this video a dozen times.

    Erv, thanks to you, I don't need to make a thread asking this very same question. I want to make my own soundboard that will basically be a Petit Crouton minus the pilot LEDS (have no need for them, since there are no holes in the hilt I've had for five years). I'm hoping this author will teacher what I need to know. Thank you for the advice.

    Just remembered this thread, so I guess it's worth mentioning that Sparkfun electronics just got these books in. Electronic Formulas, Symbols & Circuits, the other books are at the bottom of the page in related products. Definitely well worth the price, and the way they're laid out (like a notebook) is a brilliant reference guide for when you need to find some info in a pinch.

    I think the local RadioShacks are carrying these again as well (at least mine are) ....(Erv mentioned they used to be there in first post, looks they are going back to their roots on this one)

    Not to sure how things work with forums, but I just have a quick question of my LED saber build. I'm not very sure which resistor to use.

    My build will be using the: SPST 12mm Momentary green ring Illuminated switch. As well as the, Rebel Star LED & MHSV2 Heatsink Module and 4AAA battery holder with mount.

    You will have to gather the various facts you need from the various products you mentioned. Voltage from the battery pack. Voltage and current from the LEDs, etc.
