Hello, I’m new to all this, but after I found about proffie boards and DIY lightsabers, I had an idea for a cosplay I wanted to do that would be perfect for a lightsaber so here we are.
I used this diagram for the wiring, which i think I got all correct. I used the config that it generated and added a config prop to be able to use saber_fett263’s one button config. Here’s my config file:
#ifdef CONFIG_TOP
#include "proffieboard_v3_config.h"
#define NUM_BLADES 2
#define NUM_BUTTONS 1
#define VOLUME 2000
const unsigned int maxLedsPerStrip = 144;
#define CLASH_THRESHOLD_G 1.0
#define ENABLE_AUDIO
#define ENABLE_MOTION
#define ENABLE_WS2811
#define ENABLE_SD
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_PROP
#include "../props/saber_fett263_buttons.h"
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_PRESETS
Preset presets[] = {
{ "SmthJedi", "tracks/mars.wav",
StylePtr<InOutSparkTip<EASYBLADE(BLUE, WHITE), 300, 800> >(),
StylePtr<InOutSparkTip<EASYBLADE(BLUE, WHITE), 300, 800> >(), "blue"},
{ "SmthGrey", "tracks/mercury.wav",
StyleFirePtr<RED, YELLOW, 0>(),
StyleFirePtr<RED, YELLOW, 1>(), "fire"},
{ "SmthFuzz", "tracks/uranus.wav",
StyleNormalPtr<RED, WHITE, 300, 800>(),
StyleNormalPtr<RED, WHITE, 300, 800>(), "red"},
{ "RgueCmdr", "tracks/venus.wav",
StyleFirePtr<BLUE, CYAN, 0>(),
StyleFirePtr<BLUE, CYAN, 1>(), "blue fire"},
{ "TthCrstl", "tracks/mars.wav",
StylePtr<InOutHelper<EASYBLADE(OnSpark<GREEN>, WHITE), 300, 800> >(),
StylePtr<InOutHelper<EASYBLADE(OnSpark<GREEN>, WHITE), 300, 800> >(), "green"},
{ "TeensySF", "tracks/mercury.wav",

{ "TeensySF", "tracks/venus.wav",
&style_pov,
StyleNormalPtr<BLACK, BLACK, 300, 800>(), "POV"},
{ "SmthJedi", "tracks/mars.wav",
&style_charging,
StyleNormalPtr<BLACK, BLACK, 300, 800>(), "Battery\nLevel"}
};
BladeConfig blades[] = {
{ 0, WS281XBladePtr<40, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(),
WS281XBladePtr<40, blade2Pin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin4, bladePowerPin5> >()
, CONFIGARRAY(presets) },
};
#endif
#ifdef CONFIG_BUTTONS
Button PowerButton(BUTTON_POWER, powerButtonPin, "pow");
#endif
I then plugged it all with my button and neopixel blades and… only one blade works, it sometimes says “font directory not found” i think but no other sounds. Any help would be greatly appreciated, i’ll keep tweaking and see what happens, but at this moment I am lost. Thank you in advance.
) and you can see all of your options in his config helper. Defines tell your saber what it should and should not do. Like turn on when you swing it, or whether or not you have editing capabilities…. It’s a lot!
