    Default JamoUp's US2.1 WIP

    Here is my WIP UltraSound 2.1 Saber.

    It is only a Work In Progress because halfway through wiring it up I burnt my thumb fairly bone-head-edly bad. So this is what I have until I have the courage to use my thumb again.

    It is powered by a Lithium Ion 7.4 with PCB
    Made from MHS parts
    US 2.1
    Recharge port/ kill switch
    vibration motor
    Custom "Yoda style" grips

    This is what the complete saber looks like:


    These are the main bits. recharge, LED, Crystal, main body with illuminated switch:


    Close-ups:




    I wanted to include that last pic to show how I assembled the crystal chamber. There is a quartz crystal in the completed version.

    I hope you have enjoyed thus far. More to come!

    Looks great so far; if I may inquire, what are the grips made of?

    The measure of true wisdom is the ability to entertain ones idea and not except it as your own.

    Update!

    I got the whole saber wired and put together!

    Woot!??!

    just one problem. When I turn the saber on, it goes into boot sequence every time. It won't just turn on. Always the boot sequence.

    So I go through the boot sequence a few times, still refuses to just turn on like a good boy should.

    The switch works to go through the menu... just isn't turning the saber on properly.

    Any suggestions?
