Obsidian amp rating for string blade and when to use mosfet

[Chad mikolyski]

Hello all,

I have been working on some ultrasaber projects that involve doing some uncommon things with the obsidian board like string blades and high current draw led applications.

I just built a new saber with a blade consisting of 100 5mm leds strung in parallel. The leds are rgb common annode so I wired the blue and green as main blade color and the red as flash on clash. With a photon blade on it looks pretty cool. However It’s not hard to guess that the amp consumption is pretty high, which led me to use a high drain 3200 mah amp hour 18650 battery.

However finally getting to the point, can the obsidian sound board handle that much current flow through it or will prolonged use damage the board? I could use mosfets but if I can run it as is that would be great

100 x 20mah per color is 4000mah for blue and green plus 2000mah for red foc more making 6 amp total current consumed when flash on clash is activated.


Thanks in advance.

-Chad

Do you have the Obsidian launcher installed? If you do, you can open it, hit the "Resources" button and pull up the data sheets on any of the Ultrasabers boards. That should have the current information, etc. on it.
