Activity Stream

That was my thought. 20 minutes and nothing, even after different batteries and speakers. No sound, no lights, nothing at all. I think my board is...

Couldn't hurt at this point.

So should I try the update again and see what happens?

If you installed all of that correctly. When you applied power it would say updating but I have seen it not say updating.. either way you want to...

Sorry if I'm not answering correctly, but I used the file in this .pdf provided on SaberTec's website (which was linked in the manual) -->...

I meant what files did you use to update it. Where did you get them.

I did the one from the manual, the direct install onto the sd card. I'm beginning to doubt I had the correct structure. This happened after trying to...

What update did you try to do exactly? Are you sure you have the files on the SD card in the correct structure?

Just be sure they know what goes into configuring/customizing a proffie saber. Can only get so far copying and pasting code, plus the setup of being...

I was sure that Tim was right and these were latching, but when I wired everything up, they wouldn't work with the default Crystal Focus setting of...

Maybe this is too much to ask but maybe you could stock proffie and or snpixel soundboards. There seems to be a really high demand from my friends...

Amen to that part about crystal chambers! Long overdo...

I would personally like to see more force fx elite conversion kits for neopixel. Particularly the new obi Wan kenobi series. Thin neck that comes...

Then you’re all set in that regard.

Lucky me, both girls asked for green.

Tim, you might be right! I don't have the original packaging. I will test it.

If it is a latching switch that will not matter. I know the OP said momentary but it looks like a latching one to me.

I’m not sure that the 5.6 had sleep mode, or that you’ll be able to turn off the switch light when the saber isn’t running.

Diagram here. 16mm Anti Vandal Latching Blue Ring Switch (thecustomsabershop.com) To keep it as basic as possible.. use C1 and NO1 for the...

The CF 5.6’s take 7.4V. I don’t think the “voltage hack” worked on those.

Thank you! I will do that!

I’d use the CF 5.6’s and wire red and blue in parallel, with a big resistor on the red. You want it to be about 400mA for a decent purple. That’s...

Thanks again for the advice. I will stick with the next highest one.

You would risk blowing the LED. I ALWAYS recommend getting the next highest one.

if you can source it sure, that 'closest resistor' part is just to guide you to the closest value the store carries is all, though some resistance...

One more question. When using the TCSS calculator, can I install the EXACT resistor I need to run each LED at 100% if they don't have one close...

Thank you so much, everyone, for all your help on this hacked and slashed (maybe a little ugly) budget build/modification!! I will post some...
