Define for saying font on power up?

OnukAwun · August 26, 2025, 2:53am

I have a saber that announces the font name every time you press the main button after powering down. I’ve never had one set up like this before. for example, for a Luke font, every time the saber goes into sleep and I press the main button, it says the “I am a Jedi” thing to identify the font, rather than just igniting. is this a define I can just delete?

I think I found it. looks like I needed to add a define rather than take one away. looks like I should add:

#define FETT263_NO_BOOT_SOUNDS

never mind. that didn’t work. any other ideas?

If you check the serial monitor, it will tell you what files it’s actually playing.
Maybe it’s not “font.wav”, but else? If it is “font.wav”, maybe it will tell you why it is doing that.

Could also be a preon.wav, I think i have the same font “ I’m a Jedi like my father before me” plus some other quote that are used as preons.

I don’t think it could be pre-on, because it happens with some fonts and styles that I added. I feel like it has to be in the top part of the config somewhere. I copied and pasted a few styles and fonts from other saber configs that don’t do that. it does appear to be the .font file. I didn’t run serial monitor, but for each preset, it’s the same as the “announcement” and .font in the corresponding folder on the card. I’ll post a copy of the config if someone wants to take a look and see if they notice anything.

Please do. Then we can stop guessing and get actual answers.

OnukAwun · August 30, 2025, 4:00am

don’t know why, but I’ve resisted using serial monitor until now. no idea why. it’s easy to run. anyways, I have it going now. what command should I use to figure it out?

OnukAwun · August 30, 2025, 4:07am

I think I figured it out. it says it is playing:

“font name”/boot/boot2.wav

so, I guess, why is it playing the boot file every time I press the main button after sleep mode. is there a define to have it do that?

Probably related to this define: FETT263_MOTION_WAKE_POWER_BUTTON
Please read up on it and see if you want it or not.

I thought that might be it. does that help with battery drain?

No.

          FETT263_CIRCULAR_VOLUME_MENU

Thanks! Looks like that’s all I need to delete. For some reason, I thought I read somewhere that that helped with battery drain. If not, I definitely won’t miss it. I keep waking up the family in the middle of the night trying to turn it on in silent mode. And then plo koon announces to everyone that if they go looking for trouble, they’ll find it.

Thanks again for all your help.

You can always use #define BOOT_VOLUME 500 (or lower) at least until you change the volume, then the new “saved volume” will take “priority”.
