(Intensify) Melt not working / too short

Darth_Mengon · October 4, 2024, 4:33pm

Hi all, this is my first post I already have tried and done succesfully many things, great work from Frederik but of course also Fett263!, so thank you !
In my Saber (TXQ Obi Wan EP3) i have the problem that the melt effect (either the normal one and also not the intensify variation) seems to be working correctly. its only a very short lengh (basically only the tip) and with intensify it also doesnt get longer. What could be the reason, am i missing some general setting ?

This is the style:

this is my whole config:
ProffieBoard Config DarthMengon - Pastebin.com

This means your blade length is not set correctly. If you have Edit Mode or Edit Settings enabled use Edit Blade Length to correct. If not you can use LengthFinder to get the correct blade length and update your config to fix.

You can also edit Melt Size via Edit Mode or if you’re using my Config Helper you can adjust the Melt Size argument. Or just regenerate the style code with the Melt Size made lower (although this is just a band-aid to the issue of your Blade Length being incorrect).

Darth_Mengon · October 6, 2024, 9:35am

Thx, i tried the LengthFinder, but i found that i cant use the color change at all (in none of my presets). if i ignite the blade and then hold AUX + PWR and twist, nothing happens. Is some other setting from my configuration interfering ?

Fett263 · October 6, 2024, 11:12am

You have Color Editing styles, so they don’t use Color Change. Put the length finder style into both blades for a preset.

{"font;common", "font/tracks/track.wav",
StylePtr<LengthFinder<>>(),

StylePtr<LengthFinder<>>(),
"name"
},

Darth_Mengon · October 6, 2024, 11:53am

@Fett263 i created a new config file and flashed it. still doesnt work. here is my config: #ifdef CONFIG_TOP#include “proffieboard_config.h”#define NUM_BLADES 2#defi - Pastebin.com

It shows always one LED (even when the lightsaber is not ignited, is that correct?). But when i turn it on and hold AUX+POWER and twist, nothing happens

Fett263 · October 6, 2024, 12:02pm

TBH I never use LengthFinder, I have Edit Settings enabled. If you don’t want to use the menus then I say reduce the # of pixels in your BladeConfig section at the bottom manually and find the length via trial and error.

BladeConfig blades[] = {
 { 0, WS281XBladePtr<144, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(),
    WS281XBladePtr<144, blade2Pin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin4, bladePowerPin5> >(), CONFIGARRAY(presets) },
};

Change the “144” to something like “120”, upload and see if the blade fully lights and test Melt. If it doesn’t light all the way add 1 and repeat, if it lights all the way but Melt looks too small subtract 1 and repeat.

Of course using Edit Blade Length is much easier, just refer to the Edit Mode set up and controls:

Darth_Mengon · October 6, 2024, 12:19pm

Thx again. i tried it with your Edit Settings and it worked. strangely its 115, but from delivery 122 was setup. Now the melt effect looks perfect

Fett263 · October 6, 2024, 12:20pm

Great, glad to hear.
