Proffie V3.9 Wiring Check

Hi again,

I’m doing an ROTJ Luke V1 build and wanted to make sure my wiring/blade configuration would be correct for the neopixel blade and control box accents. Could y’all please check my blade config and schematic?

BladeConfig blades = {
{ 0,
WS281XBladePtr<131, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(),
WS281XBladePtr<1, blade2Pin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(),
WS281XBladePtr<1, blade3Pin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(),
SimpleBladePtr<CH2LED, NoLED, NoLED, NoLED, bladePowerPin7, -1, -1, -1>(),
SimpleBladePtr<CH2LED, NoLED, NoLED, NoLED, bladePowerPin8, -1, -1, -1>()
, CONFIGARRAY(presets) },
};

This should be setting up blade 1 as the main 131 pixel neopixel blade, blade 2 and 3 as the crystal chamber accents, and blade 3 and 4 as the control box LEDs.

Note - I will be using 22AWG for connections to the battery/neopixels and 28AWG for everything else

Let me know if I need to include anything else and thanks for the help!

Looks reasonable.
I would hook up the two crystal chamber pixels in series (one data line) and use subblade to control them individually though.

Thanks for the tip, will definitely do that.

Is bridging the GND and BATT- pad necessary? I’ve seen a few folks do it but I thought they were pretty much internally connected.

You don’t need to bridge GND and BATT-, they are connected already.
Note that you should always connect the battery to BATT-, not GND, because the connection between BATT- and GND is small, so that it can be cut if you prefer. That connection is not suitable for running 10+ amps through.

(In your drawing it means swapping the two black wires that go to the buttons and battery negative.)

Another good catch, thanks!
