One thing to bear in mind with picking colours... remember you're dealing with LED light power... so while say a "pure white" blade for a Ashoka Tano / Dark Saber might look nice at 255/255/255 -- it means it's running the LED's at full power all the time and that when you do clash/lockup/blast etc they cannot go brighter than they already are.... So for example, my Ashoka Tano colour i run 180,180,210 - which is very slight blue tint but overall fairly white but gives the LED's about 20-30% of their brightness for clash. A strong red colour for example is only running something like 128,0,0 which means it runs the LED at 1/2 power and gives plenty of additional brightness available for effects. Just a little tip to bear in mind .... as i noticed for your green you used 0,255,0 which means you're running the green LED at full tilt. Again, it's possible but drains batteries quicker and gives no spare brightness for effects on that colour.

Yeah mate your bang on with that, something to keep in mind for sure, if youre using white as a clash or lockup colour then no issues unless your main blade colour is white like you said. Also just had to configure this for code fulcrum sound font from kyberphonic and wen the same route as you in giving the white blade a blue hue to it. Looks Dope too!

I've watched yours and a few other videos on the "long" way of adding/programming new fonts and blade styles, and while it looks like that way gives you so much more control on how the blade looks, it is WAY too involved and confusing for me, and I'm just not into wiping the config and replacing it every time I want to add another blade style, so I am VERY thankful for this method that you posted! That said, I've run across an issue that I'm not sure if i am doing something wrong, or is just one of the bugs with doing this the "Easy" way....I've noticed that the color changes you select don't always translate to the blade. For example, I am installing a Qui Gon blade style, and using the "standard" set-up, the blade lights up green if I use Red = 0, Blue = 0, and green = 255. However, I want to lighten the blade up a little and when I use the color wheel above and set it to a lighter green, the blade lights up white, no matter how little or much I change the level of green in the program. In addition, the clash is set at white, but is clearly pink on the blade. I have the same issue when I use the "Advanced" and "Unstable" settings. Have you experienced this too? If so, were you able to get around this, or does this appear to be an issue with the program? Thanks much for your videos and help!!!!

Thank you SO MUCH for posting this video! I just added several fonts with your help! A few questions though...When I go to edit the blade style and choose "Advanced," it completely screws up the "Lockup"...instead of putting the color of the lock-up in a small section of the blade, it changes the whole blade, whether it be the default white color or whatever else I choose. Everything else looks great, except for that, so I have to choose either use the Advance edit and mess up the lockup, or use the other 2 options but not be able to get the timing and clash colors I want, etc. Am I doing something wrong when I'm using the Advance edit that is messing up the Lockup, or is that a flaw in the Easy Prorffie OS program? Again, thank you - the Arduino method of making changes is so intimidating that there is no way I would have been able to do this - so much appreciation!!!
@chrispetro4463
3 жыл бұрын
Just tried making changes with the "Advanced" editor on a copy of a blade style where the Lock-Up produces a localized color change, and the same thing happened...the entire blade now changes to the color on the lock-up, instead of just a localized color change, so it appears that this Advanced Editor is the source of the issue. I tried all the different available settings and nothing worked, so it appears you have to accept the trade-off of either a less-realistic Lock-Up for color, timing, spark-tip, etc. control, or localized Lock-Up but no ability to change those other items. That's a shame, because I really like the change on the clash...I made it a pale yellow, like in the original trilogy, and it looks awesome - even better than what was originally programmed. Oh, well, given how mind-blowingly awesome these proffie/neopixel sabers are, it's a minor issue, and maybe one that will be corrected when OS6 comes out.

You need to be established for a minimum of a year, have stock available at your location, be transparent as to the manufacturer of the sabers, offer warranty, good reliable customer service and prices need to be reasonable. Some vendors charge £50-£300 more for sabers than they should. These may seem like very stringent requirements but due to the increase in pop up LGT resellers overcharging and scamming people I have to make sure my subscribers and followers are well taken care of.

You would need to go into the config unfortunately, the web editor does allow you to manipulate the volume but that’s only for when the board is connected for demo purposes. Also, if you press your power Button and it the hilt simultaneously it will enter volume advisement, a quick press turns the volume up and a 1 second hold/release will turn the volume down, you then hold the button and hit the hilt again to exit the volume menu. Hope this helps!

WOO HOOOO! Did what you suggested, and it worked!!! Deleted everything on the SD card and then restored to original configuration and then added back my purchased fonts, and all were there, including the Battery Level font that I accidentally deleted. Here are a few lessons I picked up: 1) is better to put the SD card into an adaptor and then plug into the PC USB directly, rather than do all this via micro USB cable....takes HOURS using the cable, and only a few minutes with direct plug-in to PC; 2) Either make certain your battery is fully charged before starting, or plug in the saber to an outlet...I did not realize my battery was drained to low levels and I wasted a whole day, and thought this didn't work, before I realized my battery was almost out of juice. After plugging it in, all proceeded without a hitch. Thank you again for your help - I would have never thought to delete the SD card and start from scratch with my back-up. A few more questions on this: 1) before proceeding, I wrote down my changes to make the re-do quicker. For the blade colors, I wrote down the number under the slider, where you can make more gradual changes, but for some reason, that did not seem to work on the re-do...had to manually change with the slider. Before I screwed this up, I was able to make changes by entering a number under the slider and you could see it working on the blade, and I was able to use those same numbers on other presets and get the same shade. This time, when I entered the same number under the slider, it actually gave me a completely different color. Any idea why that didn't work this time? 2) Following up on the other question re: the Lock-Up issue...did you get the same thing when you used the "Advanced" setting to make color changes? If not, how were you able to change the color clash and maintain a localized color change (mine makes the whole blade change color)? Thanks again for all your help!!!!!
