Sorry for the confusion. I use normal crees and just picked a random LED symbol from the library of the program I used for the diagram. I just fixed it and it should now say XQ-E.
For test purposes I orderd a pwm controller from china but for the final design I also favour an arduino or something similar. The ability to remote control it makes it very compelling!
I'm not sure I understand the meaning of 'moot' although I translated it... If you mean to say that the CF cannot control the neopixels I agree. If you think the CF is underused in this configuration I agree too.
The PLI from the accent pads are not yet in the diagram and althgough I would like to try and build a basic crystal chamber (and thus using more accent pads) I'm not sure there will be enough room in my hilt. After all I want to cram the CF, 2 18650 batteries and speaker in there - preferably in a simple chassis and keep everything easy to disassemble and repair and make the LED-module interchangeableby using connectors and all of that will need a lot of space. Maybe if I go with a smaller battery pack but then I would also need a new charger and that would drive the costs up.
But one step at a time. For now I'm glad to know that the basic design will work. The rest will lay itself out as soon as my hilt arrives. (SF ASP probably was mistake but I will make the best out of it)
Thanks for your help guys!
