Arduino Lightsaber for/with LED string blade

Hello there !

I'm so glad to have found your video Andras !
Your saber is awesome. You made a wonderfull job !

So much you decided me to build my own.
I've ordered the boards and some leds :

  • 110 x green 5mm leds 140° 4000mcd 20mA 3.2/3.4V
  • 80 x red 5mm leds 140° 3000mcd 20mA 2.0/2.4V

I plan to make a two string led blade : the main string will be green and the secondary string led will be red and should be trigger as a FoC/blaster hit.

That's the main idea. I need to make some test to see if the secondary string won't produce too much shadow when not lit up. If this is the case it will made a good second blade :stuck_out_tongue:

Thank you !
