driver board
« on: February 24, 2010, 04:51:26 AM »

Is it possible that the blade LEDs can ruin the driver board?

I first ordered a driver board, the 11V 750mAh battery pack and a blade, as no sound board was avaiable at that time

Set it to 11 V of course, so the board would not get overpowered.
It worked fine for some weeks, I was still getting the components for my hilt.

One day .. bam ... the blade would be on constant max brightness and the board would not react to the push button.
And the board would get hot very fast.


I thought I might have messed up something, after a while I ordered again.

This time the 11V stick battery pack, driver board, sound board.
I had the driver board modified so I could connect the build in LED from my switch (which I actually only did once to test, worked fine)

Again I set the board to 11 V in order not to damage it over time

Again, it worked fine. The soundboard became quite warm but I read that this is normal.
Some days later the blade is on max brightness with a black section.

To test, I also connected teh old driverboard, no black section here. So it means the new board is damaged differently from the old one.
This is getting a bit expensive and I am wondering if there are any known issues or if you have any hints what I might have done wrong.

I would suggest you contact Hyperdyne Labs via email through their website.  They do not frequent these forums any longer and will not see your topic.
