Hey yall,
Currently having an issue where when my saber is not ignited and I disconnect the saber from the chasis, the no_blade blade detect preset plays a beeping noise. When it is ignited, there is no beeping noise when I disconnect the saber.
What does the serial monitor say when you do this?
Also, can you post your config file?
Sorry, slightly a noob. How does one check the serial monitor?
I forgot to mention that it not only happens when disconnecting but when connecting as well. Its a twist on chasis so while its going back and forth between no_blade and blade, a beeping occurs when it is in that no_blade state.
This sounds like expected behavior when you don’t have a bladeout.wav in the font (it will beep instead)
As far as no beep when blade is on and blade is removed… are you sure? A beep is pretty hard to hear when there’s a hum and/or effects playing.
I would think you should not only have a beep when disconnecting the blade, but should have a “new preset” experience where you hear an ignition sound.
Not sure if serial monitor will show “playing a beep”, but nonetheless it would be good to see the messages output at the event of blade removal.

A lack of bladeout.wav was the issue! Thank you!
I am trying to figure out the sounds as well.
How do you reference the blade in/blade out wave files in the blade style. The wave files were freely available online but not as part of a sound font. Do i need to set up my own sound font folder system to use these? All my purchased sound fonts don’t seem to have bladein/bladeout files or folders for blade detect sounds, so I am not sure where to start.
Also, is anyone aware of any no-blade sound fonts available for purchase? I would like one to also include sounds related to the absent blade such as a glitchy sound if you try to ignite it without the blade.
This should help:
[ProffieOS Documentation: Blade Detect]
The sounds need to be in the referenced font folder. You can have separate presets for “with” and “without” a blade, specified in the configarray in the blade definition (see examples in the above linked documentation for blade-detect).

If you just put a bladein and bladeout sound(s) in a common folder, all presets will use them (provided you properly set the font search path in the preset to include looking in that common folder).
As far as no-blade fonts, I know of 3.
Calibrate by MadCow (Rob at Genesis Custom Sabers) and is available on saberfont dot com here:
It’s for CFX, but you can of course use it on Proffie, and even rename some sounds if you wish to.
Another is Root Core by @Dr.Alex, which I am unclear on the current state of ditribution rights, (I think I personnaly appealed to him for a copy way back in the day).
And Harry Solo’s Workbench, also on Saberfont:

This was super helpful! I went with calibrate from mad cow and it’s exactly what I was looking for.
