hey yall!
I noticed in my config file that the blade style for the basic fonts (TeensySF, SmthJedi, SmthGrey, etc) has the style repeated three times. For example:
“{ “SmthJedi”, “tracks/mars.wav”,
StylePtr<InOutSparkTip<EASYBLADE(BLUE, WHITE), 300, 800> >(),
StylePtr<InOutSparkTip<EASYBLADE(BLUE, WHITE), 300, 800> >(),
StylePtr<InOutSparkTip<EASYBLADE(BLUE, WHITE), 300, 800> >(), “blue”},”
I’m curious as to why this is. Can I remove the other two lines? If not, what purpose do they serve?
Each blade needs a style.
My simple config generator generally assigns the same style to all blades to make them just do the same thing.
Deleting them won’t work right, but you could customize them by replacing them with something else. If you don’t want a particular blade to light up, you can just give it StylePtr<Black>().
I was wondering why my config file said I had three blades lol. thanks
is there a way to change the number of blades in the config generator? Or can I just change NUM_BLADES to 1 nd then remove the other two lines?
I’m giving myself a pre-emptive answer to see if I got it. Are the other “blades” meant for like when the blade is not connected and its just the LEDs on the PCB?
The real answer is: They can be anything you want. (Not for when the blade isn’t connected though, that is done differently.)
The most likely answer is: You probably selected a configuration with illuminated PCB. My configuration generator divides the LEDs on the PCB into two blades.
The actual answer is: It depends on what you selected when you made the configuration. Generally you would look at the blade array to see how each “blade” is configured.
