Hello,
I'm attempting to make my son a lightsaber and need some help. I have an old cheap toy lightsaber powered by 3 AA batteries (1.5V each) in series. The toy has a board that controls a small LED and sound board when powered on.
I bought some LED strip lighting to use in the new saber- advertised as 12V, but I have it working with a 9V battery. Anyway, I would like to use the existing board to function with the new LED strip lighting, but don't really know how to do that. I have a bunch of various resistors that I took from some other small electronics. I'm honestly not sure where to start.
I would happily post pictures of what I have if that would help. I greatly appreciate any help or guidance.
Thanks,
Brian
