Based on this, but taking your already-created blade style into account, here’s a start for your font What do you think?
There are 2 preons, 2 outs, 2 ins, 2 pstoffs, and hum.
One of the ignition sounds is the Seismic Charge you requested, the other is a thunder clap.
ReadMe.txt, config.ini and smoothsw.ini files are included.
Retraction in.wavs paired to pstoff.wavs using config.ini entries.
You will likely want to remove the IgnitionTime<> values in your EFFECT_IGNITION so these sync correctly.
You can add effects and other sounds from other fonts if you’d like.
This is what I was asking about. How to set this up to the 2 blades. The middle blade being ran of the one style and the outer the other. I don’t have access to my files with the sounds right now, but I had added them in the generator when I made these styles. Everything lines up perfectly as far as sound and blade effects/motions.
I’m going to spend some time tomorrow trying to figure out how to add the sound fonts to the respective places.
The biggest thing I need help with is getting the styles to line up respectively.
I really appreciate you helping to set this up, I know how long it took me and I had the generator to help lol. After playing with the sound fonts I think I have found the one I love right now. (That may change after five mins lol). Hardest part for me is the coding side of things. I look at and see Chinese, where you guys look at it and see a lightsaber spinning through the air.
I posted that above. I gave you your config presets and blade config. All you do is put the styles in the same order as the blades. That’s how you line them up. So you’re outside blades with 75 pixels each is the first blade, so the top style is for them. The second blade is your 104 Center strips, so the second blade style is for them. That’s really it.
Just find a song you think is appropriate for a track if you wish and name it

Where and how you split it is up to you, as long as you have enough copper at every point along the way. But by the time you get the power to the proffieboard, it’s going to need to go to two points, or you might overheat the board itself.
Thank you for that information!! I am about to order everything, and printing should take about a week or two. Hopefully I will have this thing up and running in no time!
No, not quite. Based on your last wiring diagram,
your outer Blue 75 blades are wired to LED pads 1, 3, 4, and 6.
Your inner Red 104 blades are wired to 2 and 5.
Also, some syntax specifics: You’re missing the preset’s closing brace }, and you want to include the “name” argument at the end of the preset.
The post I made above is exactly how it should look. Like this above
I changed out the styles after finding a different set. I think it will work better with the look I’m going for but left everything else the same, with the exception of pin numbers, and the Neopixel type (RGBw).
Ah. Then it’s correct in your version, yes.
I might suggest a more visible blaster block effect on that very busy blade.
Maybe test swapping your EFFECT_BLAST layer with something like AlphaL<RgbArg<BLAST_COLOR_ARG,White>,OriginalBlastF<>>
What I’m having issues with now is adding the sound fonts and how to config the style. I don’t have access to an h file creator (except an online version). and I still have no idea what I am doing to create my own config.
Working from the bottom up:
You already have the BladeConfig, which is the “hardest” part for most users.
You also already have the rest of the CONFIG_PRESETS part, you’re just going to add more presets with different font, track, and blade styles if you want.
You should choose a prop file to use that will dictate how your buttons and gestures of the saber control the experience.
There’s info on the documentation site for that info as well, in addition to the prop files themselves having instructions of how they work provided in the top comments section of the file.
Most of the #defines to use or omit in the CONFIG_TOP section will be determined on which prop file you choose, while others are system-wide options.
It comes down to personalization. Build the config based on what you want it to do after exploring the available options.
That’s how to build a config file.
It’s just a text file, however to avoid weird formatting and other potential syntax errors, the editor should be one that is code savvy.

I am at the limit of my abilities now. I am trying to build a custom sound font folder, with my custom sounds for the different functions. I have searched for how to build them with no avail. I have the wav files, I just don’t know how to properly label them and how to where to add them inside the proffieos.
What I am doing right now is taking a sound font I downloaded offline, adding my stuff and deleting the others, while renaming my stuff to match. hopefully this is right.
Here’s info on sound font including what names are used and the config.ini variables and uses:
And yes, a good start would be just looking at an existing font and mimic it.
Sounds with multiples should go in a subfolder named the sound.
Single sounds should stay right in the font root.
This is what I have, and I have added my stuff and relabled it. The next question is where do I drop it on the OS files? Or is the file its own thing with in the SD card?
I also have my common folder made up for the tracks and what not. does that just get dumped into the common on the OS?
