Hope some of you can help. I am building a light saber and would prefer to build the control board myself. A friend of mine suggested this site, so hopefully you can me. I think I will get the 18x starter kit. My saber will have 60 leds needing 3-5 volts at 20mah each.
1) Can each of the outputs create a pulsing effect? I think this could be achieved by dropping/increasing voltage/current on the outputs. Is this possible through programming.

2) What is actual voltage of the outputs (I think current id 800mah?)
3) Of course I need a on/off switch but I would like to adjust brightness and turn on the pulse effect, however I think there are only two analog inputs, do you have any suggestions?
4) My hilt size 1 and ¼ inside dimensions. I can’t seem to find the dimensions for PCB board that comes with the 18x. Do any of you know what the width and length are? Anyway to make it smaller?
5) I will be using an after market sound board, because I’m not sure if this board can handle the sound needed, not to mention, the aftermarket board has motion/clash sensors built in. Any recommendations for the 18x for sound (what format?) and does any know how to incorporate a motion/clash sensor with the 18x?
