@Fett263 We tried ConfigHelper out again today. See the attachments since I also included a copy of my working config.

Here’s the working edit. Please let me know if there’s anything I missed.

You didn’t read the instructions for BladeConfig section. There is a large box telling you EXACTLY what to do

@Fett263 You are absolutely correct. I read that but we (Padawan and I) did miss the pixel count. There was something that got input out of confusion since she’s learning on line count 40-46 but I fixed it.

I have no idea what you’re asking or referring to. This tool just generates a config in the correct syntax based on the options selected, I have no idea what line count or board reading you’re asking about. It just creates a config.h file that’s all.

spaces and line returns are irrelevant

So this        is  just as             valid
as
if 
you        had it 
      all smooshed        
together         in a normal
    sentence

@Fett263 I should clarify. By “line count” I meant at which line(s) of the config when looking at it in Sublime the error or other thing is listed. As-in item-x is on line count (or line #s) 13 thru whatever.

Not sure how that would ever matter so the answer is no. The error you got was from not reading the instructions provided in the tool. The tool just outputs the config in the correct syntax based on selections made and presets you built. BUT if you paste the wrong things in the wrong text fields the tool has no way of knowing, hence all the time I put into writing the instructions that appear on the page. If you read the instructions AND follow them it will output a config without errors.

New and Improved version is now up and running for use and testing, I started a new thread since it’s essentially all-new.

ProffieOS6 & 7 Config Helper Tool v.2 ProffieOS

I have updated my Config Helper Tool to version 2. I’m starting this thread for users to ask questions or report any issues. I have dramatically expanded the functionality of this tool so some bugs are to be expected. I conceived this tool originally with OS7 in mind. It’s intended to help both new and seasoned users and installers to be able to navigate all of the possibilities in your config as well as help to update and set up your config. As we’ve added more and more features from OS5, OS6 and now OS7 the number of defines and the level of customization they offer has grown exponentially and I find even the most seasoned Proffieboard users aren’t actually aware of everything possible. I designed this tool for users to easily see and learn about all of the things they can set up via their config. In addition, I’ve greatly expanded the functionality from the original v1 tool to make it even more user-friendly and powerful. Try it out: Fett263 Proffieboard ProffieOS6 & 7 Config Helper The tool will now store your config in your browser’s localStorage (this means the browser you originally use is where the data is stored so you can come back to that browser anytime as long as you haven’t clear localStorage) This allows you to save and come back to your config anytime, hours, days, weeks or months later. And with this new save capability I have expanded the tool to allow you to build up to 6 individual configs. The tool now has a Download Config option that will export the config you’ve built in the correct .h format so you can save it directly into ProffieOS/config and begin using (see video above for more details). This tool not only creates the config for you based on all of the selections you make, it will also produce custom documentation based on the defines, prop, styles and other options you select. This allows you to print out a custom user manual for your specific saber. Once you build the full Config you can then download the “Options”, “Controls” and “Supported Sounds” documentation that your saber uses based on the config you built. This is intended for both users and installers so that you can easily use your saber without having to hunt for information. I’ve built in additional logic to let the tool read your BladeConfig code. This allows the tool to determine how many blades and/or any BladeID or Blade Detect set up you have so that you can it can set up your presets correctly. You still need a valid BladeConfi…
