Assistance coding esp32 to make it proffie like lightsaber diy

I am new to coding on arduino and i have been looking for ways to code an esp32 devkit to match the functionality of a proffieboard which also includes smoothswing. since its a really cheap alternative , any help via code or guidance is much appreciated.

ProffieOS can be compiled for esp32-s3, but last I checked, it didn’t work very well. In particular, both WS2811 and sound output was glitchy. It’s been a while and it’s possible that it works better now though.

It may be cheap, but does it have amplifiers, FETs, SD-card, and a motion chip?
If not, make sure to add those to the price (and size) before comparing…

i mean i plan to use it with an external amp dac and other components to take the load off of the esp32 im not sure how that would work . im assuming there will be problems related to lag while doing so but im tryna see what works as a fun side project.

You may want to take a look at the Proffieboard circuit diagram for inspiration:

Will do, I went through your code on GitHub a few days back and im bamboozeld on how it works , since I just code java and I’m real new to Arduino coding. But imma figure out something or the other. Any pointers to the code would be wonderful so that I don’t go in blind.

I can provide pointers, but pointers to what? You’ll have to be more specific about what you want to know, otherwise the pointer is just going to be “read all the code”.

Yeah , I don’t know yet since I’ve just started. But my main concern is, will the integration work . And how much delays I’ll encounter during functions

There is no reason why there should be any delays if you code it right.

Thanks. I’ll try my best .
