Iam making a stormtrooper blaster. I just want to do a 3 blade neopixle wiring job. I have no idea how to do the blade presets. I know you just wire it up like a regular saber. If someone can help with that, it would be awesome. New territory for me. I heard that the proffieboard v2 would be good for that. ---

It would help if you had some specific details on what you want to do, because “just wire it up like a regular saber” is pretty much correct. Have you wired a saber before? Or used a Proffieboard at all yet? ---

Yes. Many. One blade, tri blade etc. Crystal chambers. I am not sure how the programing would be because a blade stays light, but a blaster would just be on then off right away. The wireing i could do one led in the center . Leds on bolth sides showing thru. So id wire it like a tri blade. I would use all neopixles for the project. ---

The key to your understanding might be the prop file. That’s what controls what the buttons do (and even what they’re called). A blaster prop differs from a saber prop in that (typically) it’s just always “on” (like the blade is running, saber is on etc…) The lighting effects are all about the blade style. In essence, you have a “blade” running with a black base color, then pulling the trigger does EFFECT\_FIRE, which you just make a blade style to your liking for that event. For example, I have a DL44 with just a 9x1515 pixels in the muzzle. I use the blade style below for it. (if you click the style below, it’ll take you to the current official style editor page, where (even though it shows a saber) you can choose the “Select more effects” dropdown, pick a blaster effect (FIRE, STUN) and the click “Do Selected Effect” to see the animation. It’s just basic pew-pew. ```auto StylePtr,Red,TrFade<200>,Black,TrFade<300>>,EFFECT_FIRE>, TransitionEffectL,DeepSkyBlue,TrFade<200>,Blinking,TrFade<300>>,EFFECT_STUN>, LockupTrL,Red,TrFade<150>>>,TrInstant,TrConcat,TrFade<400>>,SaberBase::LOCKUP_AUTOFIRE>, TransitionEffectL>,Mix,TrFade<1000>>,EFFECT_BATTERY_LEVEL>>>() ``` I use the blaster\_BC\_buttons.h prop file. ---

How about the prop file? If you can point me to that as well, would be awesome. ---

Prop file is in ProffieOS/props folder. For a font, you can use this and/or get an idea of blaster font sounds.

This is what i found on Github. I am useing power pins 2 and 3 for power pins for the rail sides of the blaster. A led ring using power pin 4 data 2. 1 led as a extra detail on powerpin 5 using data 3. ---
