I looked around for an answer to this and couldn’t find one. Among other problems I’m having with the Sabertrio I recently bought off eBay, for some reason when I light up the saber, it only lights up about 90% of the blade. So I went into the config file and saw that it was set to 144 LEDs. I thought then that I just need to increase the number, so I entered 250, just as a guess.
That didn’t work, so I entered 500. The blade is still too short. Am I missing something? Here’s my config:

I just had to increase the number.
