Hello fellow lightsaber enthusiasts!

I can't find info about this - I was wondering if, in a Tri-Cree setup (let's say BBW) if the White LED wired to FOC could be set to be always on, through settings?

Thanks a lot for your help!

Arf dommage! Merci Erv pour la réponse (très) rapide.

Just curious, is it the same with the Crystal Shard board?
Or - forgive my ignorance, I did look at the PDF manual but I was a bit lost - could that 3rd white LED be rewired to be always on, without any potentially damaging issue for the board and/or LED?

no CS is different as it does color / channel mixing, not just on-top FOC

Alright, I understand. Is it ruled out to rewire the white led to another pad (on the NB) to keep it on? Or is the Nano Biscotte going to struggle delivering the power to an additional, always ON LED? Last thing I want is to burst a LED, or worse, damage such a fine board.

please explain your goal. Always one while blade activated or when the board is powered ?

Well, simply to have all 3 leds on when blade is activated, rather than only 2 + FoC

A single driver output could drive easily 3 or 4A so all your dice could go there. You can also use a separate power extender to split the load but it's not absolutely needed

While waiting for the NBv4 to restock, I have a question.  Can the NBv3 power 4 dice on the L pad, and two on the F pad?  All six dice would be running at 1A each, for 4A on L pad and 2A on F pad.

that should work if your battery can handle it with no voltage ripple
