An 1606-based replacement blade controller for a Galaxy’s Edge lightsaber blade. The firmware and further documentation for this project may be found at github.com/ruthsarian/RuthsarianBladeController.
NOTE: this is version 4.1 H and is different from version 4.1 L. The two versions are similar except they use different LDOs for the LEDs (U2).
BOM
- C1, C7: 330uF electrolytic, 2.5mm lead spacing
- C2, C3, C5, C6: 1uF ceramic, 0402
- C4: 0.1uF ceramic, 0402
- L1: >=3.3uH inductor rated 1A+ (LQM21PN3R3NGRD or LQM21PN3R3MGRD), 0805
- Q1-Q4: PNP (SS8550 or compatible), SOT23
- Q5-Q7: Nch MOSFET or compatible, SOT23
- R1-R7: 1 kOhms, 0402
- R8: 10 kOhms, 0402
- U1: ATTiny1606, VQFN20
- U2: AP2138N-3.3TRG1 or XC6206P331MR-G or XC6206P332MR-G, SOT23
- U3: LD39200PU33R, DFN6
It is possible to reuse the transistors and SOT-23 LDO of a stock blade controller with this PCB.
