I bought a saber from a buddy and after realizing it was one of yours I started playing on your site. Now there's a lot I'd like to order Smiley

To start off the saber I have I believe is a dominix v3 it has 4(aaa) setup switch and led.
Kinda bare bones but still cool.

Where do I start to add sound to this? I'm pretty sure Ill need a momentary switch instead but other than that what else? Assuming pommel needs replacing too since not vented.

Thanks for your patience with a newbie.
I've been a snow and shadow trooper too long lol and know not the cool ways of the force.

Okay cool I'm assuming I can get all from ultras website.
Does the obsidian have FOC?
How much you think all this will be ball park?
If it gets close to price of another saber may just buy another with all that.

You're looking at a good $100-200 worth of upgrades.

All obsidian bords are foc you would have to get the led module  with the foc option witch is an upgraided led with the proper resisters for the chosen color. But yes its an investment for upgraids Well worth it in the end. Lets not even get started on adding a recharge port
The above post and link is one of the best examples to start with

Thanks those videos definitely made more sense to me seeing it.

The FOC for the obsidian board just blinks you color or does it have option to activate another color.

The foc die is how its wired to the led usualy a 4die led.engin (RGBW)

Looks like this ( ignore the recharge port in the diagram its incorect
http://www.saberforum.com/index.php?topic=10271.0

And that looks like youve got a dominx v2 there
I dont think there obsidian Or mhs compatable. If you could get a hold fo a master replicas or hasbor bord from ebay (30-40$) it might fit maby. The v2's wernt designed for sound they whsre an early designe .
