Hi ! Glad to have a start for some review of my stuff here ! I just would like to add that the divX videos (links provided above) are better to watch than the youtube ones : for unknown reasons the youtube reencoded video file added some delay between sound and video, increasing the latency between real blade impacts and sound. This latency is correctly heard in the DivX version, which was of course not retouched in any manner. My module now has as stable latency between gesture and sound lower or equal to 60 ms Really glad to be mentionned here !! Erv'

Hey Erv its great to have you on the forums. I admire your work very much and can`t wait to get my own Plecterlabs Sith Luxeon ..
One thing this is also cool as hell is you can use your OWN lightsaber sounds with the Plecterlabs sound box. You import then right from your pc to SD card!!
I know when I get mine the Luke ep6 start up sound will be in full effect.

You'll have to keep us updated, Kit. If everything works out for you, I'm gonna be getting one myself. We'll need a vid when you get it.

what i like so much about these sabers, is that they are not only based on the characters from star wars sabers, but totally made up into some orignal ones. Me, myself, I like being orignal. Like with my character darth mistress, she had to be different and orignal from anyone who has ever thought of a sith female vixen. Im a creative person and im going to use it. And these sabers are just like that, very creative and wicked sweet i want to get a couple myself.

Here's the hilt I plan on putting another set of Erv's stuff in: image1image2I'm having Tim of TCSS do the machining of the center section then I'll assemble it myself. It's definatly going to turn out slightly different, but the same basic idea will stay. I've already had a taste of Erv's boards and I must have more in my own design. ;D

Well, he has the metal now... beats me on how long it'll be before he lathes it out.
I'm in no hurry though. I need to wait for Erv to get the new boards rolling and I don't have much time with school running anyway. I have three in progress sabers anyway... plenty on my plate.

I love it. One way or another they will have all the lightsabers of all the Sith and Jedi. You know who had a great looking blade: Exar Kun. Now that was one sick looking hilt

In that second video, the blade looked a little shaky and it seemed when he was striking it that it looked as if it would turn off right there. Are these licensed by LucasArts? Does anyone know?

I would love to make my own one day but I'm afraid that it cost and arm and a leg which i can't do right now.

Hi!
I'm new to the forums. The reason I'm posting here is that i'm currently working with Erv from PlecterLabs on my very own saber.
I contacted him after seeing the link here and I have to say the guy is a complete star! We've discussed the saber, of which I am going to do the construction and finishing, and the parts involved. Erv has been really fast with all of his communications and has offered me a huge amount of assistance in completing the project.
I'll have some pictures up here as soon as I get the kit, which should be fairly soon.
It's quite an investment for me, I got my Anakin ROTS for a bargain £45 by surprise in Woolworths (high street chain in UK), I instantly became hooked and started planning a Luke ROTJ. Then I came here, saw the Plecter videos and that was that, NOTHING ELSE WOULD DO!! I just had to have one.
All in all the custom is going to cost me around the $350 mark, which is a lot of cash but it's soooo gonna be worth it!!

If by shakey you mean the flickering effect, thats actually one of the features of Erv's awsome controller board. It adds a flashing effect to the impact just like the ones in the films.
