HI i am looking for help to create a thundercats lightsaber using the hilt and emitter from ultrasabers website with the functionality displayed in one of fett263’s videos where he used a proffieboard interactive effect where the blade extends on swing that i do not believe is available on the somewhat limited ultraproffie lite, i am looking for resources that will either help me swap the board out with a proffieboard while using the string neopixil blade currently on their website to acheive the effect in fett263’s video on the thundercats designed lightsaber that ultrasabers sells https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ysKGNCBDOjo . looking through reddit and the style creator tool ultrasabers provides i do not see the interactive effect and many state that this board is outdated in terms of its customization, so long story short my idea is to swap the board which i dont know if the string neopixil blade will work and or the steps to install the proffieboard that has the interactive effect option available to achieve the style fett 263 has created in his video on this specific saber that i can only find on ultrasabers website, any help or resources would be amazing, thank you
If I wanted to keep everything in place and just swap the board, the first thing I look for is a map/diagram of where all of the wires are going. Probably would have to piece it together with observation and available online info. Then desolder the board with the wires labeled, which is pretty easy since the old board can be set aside. Now you’ve got a hilt and space for the new board. A Proffie 2.2 would be fine since your set up is so specific.
From there using Fett’s toolkit and website will give you all you need to set up your blade and effects.
This is a bit oversimplified though. You kinda have to know what you are working with, what all of the parts are, before doing a good setup. Otherwise you might get stuck.
Not a lot of the very generous folks here are crazy about UltraProffie, so I think it would help to feed us info rather than expect anyone to research that board. Any real proffie questions are no problem
As mentioned you will be hard pressed to find support for anything UltraSabers let alone UltraProffie. UltraSabers took the open source code and promptly forked and modified it into something strictly proprietary to them and for profit and had not been honestly clear in their process other than a blurb about it. Basically not being truly open or forthcoming in sharing what has been done let alone how to support anything relating to it. You also need a specific connector adapter that none of the original ProffieOS versions required.
I’d contact the UltraSabers owner Emory directly to see about what’s suggested, a diagram at minimum of the wiring and what else is required to perform this.
If ya finish it up by all means share it in this topic and MTFBWY.
