ah, but it's great that Ultra is supporting numerous LED configs...

Wow I think I finally found a excellent replacement for the unreliable hasbro boards, I know what will be going in my next saber.

Very cool, looks simple to use, too!

[Ryma Mara]

Do you have to select the led and blade style every time?

[Tenric Starkindler]

I wouldn't think so. He had to enter the selection mode on purpose.

Yup...This and Buttered toast.......

Ultra: "Impresive most Impresive" well I finally found the sound board for my next build, it totally rules and I really like how it can support many types of Led's and no more wiring 2 boards together.

[Kyp Durron]

The only times you will have to go through the set up menu is if you change LED types and every time you have to unplug the battery pack to recharge it.

But as you can see, getting it set back up is quick and easy so to me it's not that big of a deal.

I edited my last post for the youtube link to the demo, but will put it here too...

This is semi-off-topic, but I'm curious as to how much power is consumed by the board during its "off/idle" times.

In other words, if you see this Alex--when you shut the saber off... how much current does the board continue to draw from the batts while off?

Finally, is there a way to disable the "hold button down to shut saber off" thing? My guess is... that won't be working with any type of latching switch now will it!

[Lord Maul]

nope novastar...it was designed for a momentary. you wouldn't even be able to select the led type if you used latching
