How to help with testing

Download latest ProffieOS from github: GitHub - profezzorn/ProffieOS: Lightsaber Controller Software (click code → download zip) Remember to rename the zip to “ProffieOS.zip”.
Pick a feature above you want to test, configure your saber to use it and try it.
If you don’t know how to enable it or how it works, ask questions in this thread. Make sure that you or the person anwering adds some documentation in the code
or on the wiki about the feature so that other people can figure it out.
Write a post in this thread about how your test turned out. Once tested, we’ll check off each feature above.

Additional Resources

Documentation about Fett264’s prop and edit mode: Countdown to ProffieOS6
Voice packs for edit mode: Free prop sounds
Edit mode takes up lots of RAM and FLASH, to make it work better, you probably want to use version 3.6 of the
Arduino-Proffieboard plugin: Arduino-Proffieboard Plugin v3.6 beta
Latest version of the proffieboard workbench (webusb/webble app) will let you edit all the new options graphically: https://profezzorn.github.io/lightsaber-web-bluetooth/app.html

Preliminary Alpha exit criteria

Once we’ve implemented these features, no more features are planned for 6.x, and we will move on to Beta testing.

I will test the serial monitor commands and remove the disable diagnostic commands on my lightsaber.

NoSloppy · September 27, 2021, 2:36am

I’ll do WavLen with different spoken times in specific duration wavs to show sync.

Hi @profezzorn I flashed my board except I’m using bc buttons mod (I only have a single button on my saber).

I checked the list of available commands on the serial monitor and they are coming back as saying What?

the serial monitor is it prop file dependant? i got the master zip from the github

profezzorn · September 27, 2021, 7:19am

so, get_gesture/set_gesture requires the Fett263 prop.
All the other ones should be available for all Props, but requires some defines to activate:

DYNAMIC_BLADE_DIMMING
DYNAMIC_BLADE_LENGTH
DYNAMIC_CLASH_THRESHOLD

Now, ENABLE_ALL_EDIT_OPTIONS is supposed to turn on these defines, so those commands are supposed to be available.

the defines are in place as seen in my previous post and althought the set_blade_length command seems to have been successful when I used the workbench via usb the blade length was still 128 (the configured setting and not the new setting of 124).

the get blade length and the get max blade length commands both errored with the

Just getting my feet wet with the alpha, I grabbed English Voicepack C and it is missing one clrlst file. There are 26 files and 27 color choices in fett263 prop file.

Just thought I’d let someone know!

veetee58 · September 27, 2021, 1:33pm

Here’s the output also:

WARNING: This font seems to be missing some files!!

08:55:36.812 → Found clrlst files: 1-27 using 2 digits in subdirs SOME FILES ARE MISSING! 27 != 26 in common

NoSloppy · September 27, 2021, 2:38pm

hmm. 24 is missing, you’re right. I see what happened. I’ll iron it out. Thanks for the catch.

profezzorn · September 27, 2021, 5:25pm

The blade length commands require a blade number to work.

SA22C · September 27, 2021, 6:37pm

Hey, for those of us who wanted to build prop files that support 1/2/3 button operation, will the menu be broken out of Fett’s prop file, or do we need to copy-paste it into ours and then work from there?

profezzorn · September 27, 2021, 10:13pm

Well, maybe those people who wants to re-use the code can work on breaking it out?
It might require some work, because the menu code doesn’t have clean APIs right now.

Afrojedi · September 27, 2021, 10:30pm

I thought the get blade length would be the command to check what was configured. If you need to specify the number does it return a true or false? Also the set blade length didn’t change the blade length on my test.

profezzorn · September 27, 2021, 10:47pm

No, get_blade_length 1 means “get the length of the first blade”.
To set the first blade to a length of 100: set_blade_length 1 100

Afrojedi · September 28, 2021, 12:43am

so the syntax is is command bladeid length. aaah ok. I’ll test it later cause I’m currently at work.

Afrojedi · September 28, 2021, 1:10am

command | output

get_blade_length 1 | 124

set_blade_lenght 1 128

however I did find an issue. I have the edit mode language packs and added the spanish language pack to the Bank02 sound font,

my config file has “bank02” for the spanish files and the bank01;common for the english.

is that the right syntax?

also the output of the error when I ran the set_blade_length 1 128 while cd into bank02 the following error occurs

NoSloppy · September 28, 2021, 1:56am

I’m not sure you have the common folder right.
If it doesn’t find files in the first folder in the path, it looks in the second, and so on.
If you want to have multiple voice prompt sets for different fonts, that’s fine, it just needs a bit of prep first.
Inside common, make a folder for English, and another for Spanish.
To use English for your Bank01 preset, the font folder path would be "Bank01;common/English"
To use Spanish for your Bank02 preset, the font folder path would be "Bank02;common/Spanish"

The files reported missing seem unrelated to the voice prompts.

NoSloppy · September 28, 2021, 2:12am

In working with WavLen, It just dawned on me that EFFECT_PSTOFF is not a thing.
Would that make sense to have? Certainly from a WavLen audio standpoint I would think so, just as much as Preon does.
But also to have blade styles use it proper, as in, currently using EFFECT_RETRATION and showing a lingering animation works, but that means it’s starting coincidentally with the retraction. I don’t know , I guess in my mind it mirrors Preon in almost every sense.

Would it be an off_pending sort of thing?

profezzorn · September 28, 2021, 2:24am

Instead of adding the language files to one of your existing directories, I would recommend putting it a separate directory. It doesn’t have to be “common”.

You could put english files in “english” and spanish files in “spanish”, then set your font path to “bank01;english;common” and “bank02;spanish;common”.

Not sure why it’s says so many files are missing though.

profezzorn · September 28, 2021, 2:28am

I think EFFECT_POSTOFF would be nice to have, but it’s not vital to have in 6.x. Maybe file an issue on gitub and I’ll implement it when I have the time, which may or may not be in the 6.x time frame.
