How To Make Lightsabers - LEDs & Crystal Focus demo w/ 6 Novastar sound fonts (full)

Hilt custom made by Novastar (uses some TCSS parts)
Luxeon III Red-Orange @ 1.5A via CF v2.61
7.4v Li-Ion 18650 cells @ 2400mah
Unique 45mm speaker -- very high quality!
Custom sound mixes by Novastar

Demonstrating the LED saber light & sound driver made by PlecterLabs.com

Version 4 includes a myriad of extra features, including extra LEDs for "glitz" that can be programmed/sequenced... 6 sound font banks, a menu selection mode, and a music/sound player--"iSaber".

I've wired in an LED that behaves like the blade flicker (main Luxeon), and also a "feedback" motor. We'll see how those work out.

Note the "lockup", "Force" and "blaster deflection" effects that sets it apart from an FX driver, and the Crystal Focus board also allows for controlling the current... also good for the "ramping on/off" effect.

[greytale]

@godofwar6511 If you mean a duel... well... we do these all the time! :) You can look up my "Balance of Power" performances/videos here on my channel, and also a more recent duel between myself and a member of the Golden Gate Knights, a group I co-founded in San Francisco... which is called "Nova v David" I think.

Cheers!

@SirusDiarota hahahhaha sooooo true!

I figured it was a good "homage" to mix a sort of "Doom" feel + "Duke". And hey, now with the new Duke game out... I'm looking fwd to trying it. Even though the reviews say it's bollocks--it looks great to ME. :) Nostalgia I guess.
