Very Short Lightsaber on a Budget.

Hello! this is a small guide to making a budget lightsaber! obviously this isn't a neopixel or anything so, budget.

1 tape

2 some kind of dowel

3 switch

4 3 test lead alligator clips

5 led strip

6 volt battery

i added rope to the handle for fun :)

Grab a dowel of your choice. I grabbed a random stick I found in the garage.

Spiral led strip through the area you want the light to go.

Grab your battery and lead test clips.

Attach the clips to the battery.

My battery was actually kinda dead so I used a 9 volt battery. What battery is shown in the photos are blue 3.7 volts that often come with arduino kits. I just had to switch out but the steps are still unchanged. rip my battery.

And there you have it! A lightsaber! Minor bumps aside, it was a fun project. I had left over leds that were collecting dust.
