Hi All -
I am currently getting ready to build the Graflex that I'll keep. I've built a couple of 2.0 kits, am currently building a Roman's Graflex, and a bunch of other sabers (OWK, K4, MPP, and so on). But now, I'm starting to collect things for "my own" Graflex - the one to keep.
TGS Graflex replica, Solo's Hold blade holder, Martin Beyer chassis, Plecter Labs PRIZM v5, and a blade of Neopixel strips from Adafruit.
I'm just waiting for the TGS delivery now... ;)
I've got a few questions about the wiring, since I haven't wired up a Neopixel blade before. I've attached my wiring diagram below.
My first question is about resistors: what resistor should be used on the data channel? I'm thinking about using the 470 Ohm SMD 0603 resistors mentioned in the manual (they're tiny!), but I'm not sure how much tolerance it should have. Even with a regular 470 Ohm resistor, which I'm leaning towards to make the assembly easier, I'm still unsure of how much tolerance it will need.
Secondly, to be sure: the two 14650s in parallel to give 3.7 V 2200 mAh should be enough right?
Thanks!
