Hi guys, I am new to the scene, but an experienced Electronics/computer/modding tech, and have converted the MR dual Maul already, and a Hasbro Obi for a friend.
I want to convert the Luke ROTJ to a Lux V green, using the original MR board and battery pack.
1st, is this possible? I have read other threads in the tutorials and they seem to indicate that 9 volts (supplied by the 6AA pack) is too much for the board... (WTF?) and that the full 9 volts is required to run the Lux V.
So I am assuming that a regulator is used on the board to control the voltage.... I am a little confused by the info on this.....

and 2nd, Do I need to use a resistor between the board and the LED? Of course if I have to wire the LED straight to the battery pack, (due to the assumed regulator) then do I need the resistor between the pack and the LED?

Any advice is appreciated.
