Area51 saber

[cardcollector]

i didnt post ANYTHING about the blade claw setup becuase you guys made a big of a fuss about it anyway (which btw im still doing it because i can).

Custom emmiter shroud with knife spike system (I FOUND A WAY THAT IT WILL MOUNT SAFLEY AND BE REMOVABLE AS WELL)
.

I think that's what barmic was talkin' about. If a lawsuit was to incur. That being included would count as "advice".

I really can't wait to see this saber. I have a feeling its gonaa look pretty neat!!!

well i ordered my tcss order just in time for the activation box style 4 to go outa stock so im waiting on that but as of now i have everything i need to start building once they arrive.

build revisions:

i decided to use a pair of sub mini momentary swtiches on my rgb leds so they can change colors.

sound is definate go. i will use a seperate 9 volt battery for the board. YES IT WILL BE RESISTORED and the switch leads will go to the main switch.

found some other awesome add ons that will be a huge surprise.

should be done in 1 to 2 weeks

Why are you putting a resistor on the power to your sound board?

DJ, just search ebay for rainbow LED and you will find the ones you are looking for. Those are the ones I use.

1.) I wouldnt use a 9v... but thats just me I suppose.

2.) Rhyen- are you talking about the 2 leg RGB leds? I would think the 3 leg would be easier for him to use, especially with a momentary button..but I guess I haven never played with the 2 leg version.. works how?


3.) maybe a 'regulator'?

i had one of those face palm duh moments. i have a 2 AAA battery holder. ill use that and make a unit out of it, ill attach the speaker and soundboard to the battery holder and then use a a JVT connecter with the switch wires so the whole unit comes out. i want to have this done by october 14. i go to disney land on that day.

so in using 2 AA i reduce my volts from 9 to 3 and i also solve my mounting problem and it wont take up too much space.

Have you found out if you'll even be able to take a saber into Disneyland? You might be able to take the saber, but probably not the blade.

Why aren't you going to Star Wars in Concert in Portland, instead? You can go to Disneyland anytime, it's not going anywhere.

The two leg is alot easier to hook up. All you have to do is wire it in parallel with the main LED (with the correct resistor of course). All the blinking and sequencing is internal to the LED. So, just hook it up like you would an accent LED and your good to go.

i AM going to starwars in concert J LO. the day before disney land!
and yes i can the have to run my saber through security but theyll let me. if not ill pull a solo and smuggle it in the secret slot in my cloak. :P

ryhen: i decided i wanted to use the ones i have. becuase i found some perfect submini momentary switches so ill use them with these LEDs so i can push them to change colors

Smuggle no no, the last thing you want is a confiscated saber...
