After compiling my parts for my first saber build using the NB v4 and a RGB LED (see bellow), I realized I goofed and forgot to get a Power Xtender board. Alas when I went back to TCSS they were out.
I clicked on the notify when back in, however I'm trying to get the blade build for a children's holiday party the first week of Dec and I don't want to chance the part not being back in stock with time left for the build.
Looking at the board itself and what it does I was wondering the following: Is it possible to use a simple 2N2222 TO-92 (have a few of these in my parts bin) in place of the Power Xtender? Not 100% what they use on the board but it looks like a simple SOT-23 transistor, just not 100% sure what the specs are and if a 2N2222 could be equivalent.
So what to do???
While I could simply cap the third color for now and just use 2 of the three until the board come back in stock, I would prefer to build once and not mess with it (other than bug fixes and sound/color profile changes).
Internal parts and design are based on Shameem Moshrefzadeh's TUTORIAL - Nano Biscotte v4 Sound Install on YouTube.
Slightly different hilt and internal chassis but the core electronics are identical.
Thanks in advanced.
