Teensy 3.2 + Propshield lightsaberbuild

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:

WS281XBladePtr<60, bladePin, Color8::GRB, PowerPINS<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >()

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<bladePowerPin2, bladePowerPin3> >(), “blue”},

I have a teensysaberv3 shield I can sell you to go on the 3.2.

No, that’s sticking a blade config in a blade style.
The WS28XBladePtr part goes in the BladeConfig array toward the bottom of the config.
Do you have these references?

ah your right sorry I get really confused where to put all the configs.

hey there I also watched your yt video for this!
im trying to get it done with the prop shield first but as a backup plan that would be awesome!

I will contact you if i need it thx :pray:t3:

I got no time to work further on the project but as soon as i got back i will post a progress

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.

Hello @profezzorn, after other project came in between i came back to finish this and ich read the hole topic again and did all the changes that you and other members suggested but it still dont work.

What doesn’t work? Are you getting compilation errors? If so, what are they?
What does your config look like now?
What does your wiring look like now?

i don’t know why he wants to use the SD.h

He can not compile the file for the teensy

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.)

I can not post the full error bc its to long
