Is there? I mean I know you can just get a sound board and not wire the speaker or even just turn down the volume but I was wondering if there was another way.
Is there a way to get FOC without a sound board?

Not likely, as you would need sensors, etc. to detect the FoC.

Yes, there are small drivers that can handle foc without sound, but they are not sold here yet, unfortunately.
Oh, those. You would need to go on FX for those.Originally Posted by Ty_Bomber

If you want to be ambitious, you can build your own circuit.the clash sensor can turn on a transistor that turns on timer like IC that flashes the light a couple times.
The absolute most simple way to do this would be to run a clash sensor in parallel to your LED with a higher/lower value resistor. When the sensor detects a clash, power would be diverted down through the alternate resistor momentarily dimming or brightening the LED. With some discrete logic gates you could even have a momentary switch handle this for blaster bolt deflection... ect...
You can get these LED Drivers

I've not used one of those myself, but I thought they supported FoC.
From the store page description:
*optional* STAT and STAT- connect to clash sensor or separate switch to enable flash on clash
We all have to start somewhere. The journey is all the more impressive by our humble beginnings.

I've never seen them used that way.

I wired up a clash sensor to the STAT and STAT- on the Constant current LED driver in my first stunt saber.
Cannot say I was impressed with the effect. More blink-on-clash.
The LED would go out, flash and then return to its shimmer effect.
There was also a notable delay between the clash sensor connecting STAT and STAT- together and the effect.
