Teensy Prop Shield Build

So I must’ve had an issue with the USB drive in my other computer because this time when I connected the teensy and sdcard to the laptop I was able to sodeload the font stuff and now it works!!! Wrapped thr leds for the blade. Tougher than I thought it would be to keep it tight and fit in the polycarbonate tube

I have to rework the hilt a little

@profezzorn should i now connect the pin 17 or 16 in my post you said 17 but here it is 16 could this be the error why nothing happens?

64

Whut?
Connect what to what in what post?
By default powerButtonPin is 16 and aux2Pin is 17, but it’s easy to fix/change and you can do it any way you want to as long as your CONFIG_BUTTONS section matches.

65

In my post about this topic in wich i made the sketch. Ok i need to rework that

66

If you look at the v1 configuration file you can see what each pin is defined as. I only use 2 buttons so I selected 15&16. Aux1 and pwr. That was easiest for me. Otherwise you can redefine which pin is which in that file… but that sscared me more lol.

67

I have soldered the pin 15 and 17 therefore i need my buttons as auxpin and auxpin2 right? Or is it necessary that one button is defined as powerButtonPin?

68

What leds are you using a link would be good! Im not sure if mine working

But 144 are preferred. I thought that’s what I ordered but didn’t figure it out until I was past retorn window

So, you can change which pad is connected to which button in the CONFIG_BUTTONS section.
(Click on the link and read it, if that doesn’t explain it enough, let me know.)

71

I have the same one did you put extra 5V and GND on the strips outside from the connector like in the last picture?

72

I can send my config file again it should be ok with the buttons if its not important if one is nit declared as power button

73

Ypu have to have a power button to turn it on. It functions as more rhan just power. Unless I’m missing something
I didn’t use the extra wires at all

So i should try to solder the pin 17 to pin 16 then its the same as you

75

That my opinion, but I’m not s whole lot farther down the journey road than you. Move that line from pun 17 to 16, or add a 3rd button to control pwr

76

You don’t need to change the soldering, you can just change the button definitions in your config file. Much simpler.

Oh yeah, duh. Way easier. Change the v1 cOnfig file

78

No, just change your config file.

79

Just insert the pin numbers in your CONFIG_BUTTON section, something like:
