SaberForge with in-hilt, Force feedback, Proffie Retrofit/upgrade

ProffieOS
1

Hello There
I have an old saberforge, single LED, with chamber and Force Feedback motor in hilt.
(All bells and whistles, from before Pixelblades)
I wonder if there’s an output and programming for proffie, that’s suited for controlling the little tiny motor, that gives the rumble in the hilt, it kinda follows the hum and clash etc.
It’s not the world to me, if my hilt doesn’t rumble but it could be fun, especially if the feature could be turned on/off as a feature (there’s always the hardware option)

Motors can be hooked to battery (+) and one of the LED pads, then controlled with a blade style. The brightness of a color equates to the strength / speed of the vibration motor.
So if you set up a style that has a dim brightness as the base color, then bright color for clash, it would do what you expect. A simple example:

StylePtr<Layers<
  Rgb<80,80,80>,
  SimpleClashL<White,80,EFFECT_CLASH>,
  InOutTrL<TrFade<300>,TrFade<300>>>>()

You could use a blade definition like:

SimpleBladePtr<CreeXPE2WhiteTemplate<0>, NoLED, NoLED, NoLED, bladePowerPin6, -1, -1, -1>()

and use LED pad 6.
