> [@Somnium](#): > > good so this will work! but I need to set the nr of leds per strip to 60 because I got a 1m blade and the strip got 60 led per m. is that right? You don’t need to change maxLedsPerStrip unless you have more than 144 leds. In the config file you had earlier, you used `SimpleBlade<>` which is for 3-cree and similar. You probably want to use to use a ws281\* blade instead, like: ```auto WS281XBladePtr<60, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS >() ``` The “60” defines how many LEDs are in the blade. ---

@Driftrotor good then i will shorten it a bit. I know what you mean i will try it with this strip if it looks to bad i will buy another. @profezzorn ok i will change that too! Do you know why i get this error with the SD.h? ---

should it look like this then? { “Samurai”, “tracks/mars.wav”, WS281XBladePtr\<60, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS\ \>(), “blue”}, ---

The WS28XBladePtr part goes in the BladeConfig array toward the bottom of the config.

following, as Im doing the same thing, started based on I Like to Make stuff video as well. If I should make a new thread, i can do that, but I figured if we’re in the same boat, it might be relevant. I have the: Teensy 3.2, prop shield, power booster (per the v1 directions) FETS SD Card Adapter Speaker recharge port 2 momentary buttons (non LED, nothing fancy yet) 18650 3.7v battery and small holder that fits easily in hilt and pair of 144 Neopixel strips, i plan to shorten to a 32" blade visible (total 34" i figure) I’m confused on the FETs, Only making one blade, do I need a FET? I’m ordering a charge port plug, is that sufficient as a kill switch? Thank you for all your answers so far to the OP, saving this post for reference once Im ready to compile code. just trying to get the wiring set. ---

Fets are technically never required. Without FETs, the standby time isn’t very good though, as the blade draws a fair amount of power even when off. If you have a kill switch and just turn it off, that’s not really a problem though. and for the next time; always start a new thread if you’re unsure. ---

I don’t think think this is the problem. Try pasting the full error text. My german is VERY rusty, but if I’m reading this right, it’s just saying that it found two version of the SD library, and it’s using one of them (the right one) and not the other. It’s then saying that there was an error in compilation, but I don’t see the actual error. (Unless something got lost in translation.) ---
