quick accent LED show-off

[eastern57]

Got the V4 up and running... after yet another smoking-hilt-scare. CF is a brute... that sucker can really take a beating...

anyway, quick [crappy] vid of the accent LED animations. Four 3mm green, one 5mm aqua.

That setup kicks ass... those led's are eye candy!

Thanks. My friend's wife really digs this one: "it's shiny AND it has pretty colors"

I replaced the aqua LED in my franken-saber with an RGB that I got from HK... just for kicks.

I made some quick "bar graph" animations with it, but still have mixed feelings about the results... maybe if I came up with better animations, it would be better... meh...

anyway, here it is... judge at will...

That's pretty cool! I like it!

It adds another dimension to the coolness of the CF.

That is a great looking saber, I love the RGB. can't wait till you play with my sound board.

Well done,
I'm using a similar RGB to illuminate the crystal in my graflex. But I won't be done for a few months.

Nice, Rob! Reminds me a bit of the way I stuffed my indicator LEDs into the Flange sabers so that they would show through the sound resonance holes.

I always love the "kill two birds with one stone" ideas... since we all know that real-estate inside a saber hilt is both precious and scarce.

Kind of like CF.

I'm [pleasantly] surprised at the good response! At first, it struck me as kind of "fruity"... like "froot loops" or "trix are for kids" kinda fruity.... but it's growing on me. Thanks guys!
