I guess it really IS "off-topic", but... anyone know what the idle draw of the board will be?
In other words--how much current the board uses while it is "off"? For example, Erv's new v2.x now draws 6ma max instead of the possible 10ma to 20ma that the v1.2 did...
Naturally I don't mean if you use a general power switch ("cut" the batteries).

I know this may not help much, but I think that he said that it won't draw anymore power than a stock MR saber turned off...whatever that is.

That helps!
The stock MR doesn't draw much of anything when it is shut down.
Erv's has to draw a decent amount more since it is programmable "on-the-fly" so to speak.
It's nice to know though, with Alex's... basically means not much need for a kill switch. Unless you're storing your saber for like a YEAR, and even then batteries drain THEMSELVES more than his board ever will.
Thanks...

Yep, I was right about that, glad I could be of help to you Novastar!Originally Posted by UltraSWG

Ultra's board only needs to store the LED setting. Erv's also monitors angles and settings, etc... simply less things to do. An MR is even less. It's doesn't need to "remember" anything.
RED LEADER Standing by!
Well, cool that it will be negligible.
As to Alex's comments about pushbuttons over latching switches and so forth--I disagree, but that's just my personal preference. The latching switches I have in sabers are 99% impossible to accidentally shut off.
But... I don't mean the pushbutton type--I use a latching slide switch. I don't want to de-rail the thread, but anyhow... It's the best switch setup I've EVER had.
But, I *DO* think Ultra's "2-second shutoff" idea is cool. At least it is a UNIQUE and fun idea!
Besides... as soon as the pre-orders were going on, I bought one, heheh--was probably at least one of the first 10 buyers, hahahah...
