[Halliwax]

These came in today...

Now, they WILL work with the original vintage LED modules, but the only ones I've been able to reliably source are these, which are.... ever so slightly wider than original.

The card is more blue in person, the photo didn't quite catch the correct color.

Best I can do till someone sources a boxfull of the original LEDs.

Wicked man!!!

Fast is relative I guess It takes me about thirty minutes to bend all these LED leads and get them straight and soldered in...

That gold lead version is just using an odd batch of some of the same LEDs, just gold plated leads vs. tin.

Amazing. Very impressive!

Happy Rise of Skywalker Day everyone!

New batch of more accurate LEDs came in, so now the V2 version A is available on my site as a fully assembled board. Will be offering kits of version B as those LEDs are more available. Will probably not be offering kits of version A, as the supply of those may be exhausted soon.

Both versions are multiplexing ready, like the original board, so you could power up the LEDs for a power level bargraph or whatnot.
Version A is common cathode, 1.5 to 2V max.
Version B is common anode, 1.5 to 2V max.

Does anyone know where you can get the "Spring" part that is just inside the Emitter Shroud of the MPP Vader Saber? {See Pic}

Search for "Heiland multi socket"on eBay, they are usually around $20 or so.

Some power testing on the A variant, all GOOOOOD so far... lol.

Temp setup with a single AA battery at 1.5 volts, running into my already split old Parks MPP...

I also have some Tan boards just arrived today. Couldn't resist mocking one up.
