In this thread says this: No, You need a LI-ON setup, not buckpuck if you are creating an obsidian/emerald saber.
I thought you must have an buck puck or resistors to correct current anyhow? I am planning to use Lithium Ion-batteries, buck puck, on/off switch, Obsidian sound board, a modular LED and 2 cell Ion-battery pack/speaker combo. I have been thinking about the possibility to use the red & green-version of Emerald MLED but do I need anything else to make the emerald MLED work? |

The Emerald driver replaces the buck puck in Emerald setups. It's recommended with Obsidian only setups. |

So you need the emerald drive in adition to the emerald LED, right? Haven't seen the emerald drive in the shop.  |

You can alway email Emory at [email protected] and ask for the Driver. I'm sure he will help you. |

I had a look through the site a couple of times, but I couldn't see any way to purchase an emerald board. I may be mistaken, but it looks like there are just different LED combinations for those that originally bought a 2-colour driver with their Emerald saber, and now want 2 different colours.
My experience is limited to playing with the various settings for 4-channel Emeralds with obsidian, and swapping emitters and pommels around. So I may be missing something.

That's right, you can't purchase it from the website. That's why I would ask Emory if he could help you (see my latest post)  |

You can alway email Emory at [email protected] and ask for the Driver. I'm sure he will help you. He replied an said "We don't have the driver listed on the website as a standalone item. It is currently only available for purchase in a saber due to the limited number we currently have in stock. This may change in the future however". Just imagine the possibilities with a 4-channel emeraldr drive in your saber.  |

Both my sabers have buck puck li ion setup one with obsidian and one without and I get plenty of battery life I've had no issues with over heating the wires and they both have a very vibrant color that doesn't fade just simply turns off when there isn't enough power vs it trying to stay on and fade out . I'm very pleased with the li ion buck puck I also recommend it to everyone for stunt and sound sabers

When you order a saber with a Li-Ion setup, you choose whether to include a charger or not. So, for your first saber at least, you should include one. On the other hand, if you have a recharge port installed, then you should order a charger for that instead - at least for the first one.
Having multiple chargers makes it easier to charge your sabers/batteries, but you don't need to order a charger every time. That's why they are optional.

How do you cnnect the recharge port to the rest of the electronics? |

I would rather ask Emory if you can have your saber upgraded with a Recharge Port than doing it yourself if you don't know how to wire it. Actually, I don't know if there's already a wiring diagram in the forum that includes a Recharge Port, so better ask him if he can do that for you.
