It really just started with a trip to Disneyland I was really just disappointed with the cheap plastic lightsabers they had available I had hoped to pick something more display-worthy or at least in the ldquotoys for grownupsrdquo category but did not find anything So when I got home I went and ordered an FX ldquoblack seriesrdquo Luke lightsaber which looks quite nice but the sound light and interactivity was still pretty disappointing At this point I started to think about how I would make a lightsaber I had already done things with neopixels before so that was kind of a no-brainer for making a better blade but I really wanted to do was to make the sound react fluidly to motion At this point I joined a bunch of forums and came across the NEC and Plecter boards but there didnrsquot seem to be a way to alter how they produced sounds so I picked up a teensy and a PJRC prop shield and started building from there The Teensy 32 + PJRC prop + SD card reader + voltage booster + FETs I ended up with was fairly large Luckily the Graflex lightsabers are also fairly large so I purchased a Graflex 21 and barely managed to squeeze everything in there Around this time I got kind of stuck with how to synthesize all the sounds a lightsaber makes so I decided to imple-ment support for Plecter and NEC sound fonts to get the saber I built make some sounds There are some amazing sound fonts out there but even so the interactivity I craved was still missing Since I didnrsquot really have a good idea for how to make that interactivity happen I took on a different challenge instead Make it smaller For the TeensySaber V2 I decided to try to make my own circuit board That meant integrating some components from the prop shield the sd card reader the voltage booster and the FETs into a single board To make things interesting I bought a Korbanth OWK which has an inner diameter of 78 inches and my goal was to fit everything in there It took a while to do but the result was the TeensySaber V2 board The V2 fits really great inside an OWK without cutting into the inner chassis parts and was generally a great success but the sound quality wasnrsquot as good as I wanted it to be so eventually I designed he TeensySaber V3 which is mostly the same as the V2 but uses a digital 3W amplifier As I was working on the TeensySaber V3 this guy Thexter showed up on a couple of forums with some great videos showing off an algorithm for better swing sounds Since this was what I wanted all along I couldnrsquot wait until he provided a description of his algorithm so that I could implement it Lucky for me he didnrsquot mind describing his algorithm so I imple-mented it My implementation never really sounded as good as his videos though but thatrsquos probably because Irsquom not really a font designer Later Thexter came back with an improved version which is what we now call ldquoSmoothSwing V2rdquo With SmoothSwing V3 TeensySaber V3 was getting some attention from people but a lot of people still thought it was too big since itrsquos made out of two boards sandwiched together The sandwiching also creates extra work for installers and extra complications for hobbyists so it was time to try to put everything together into one board At first I was thinking of using the same components that make up a Teensy to make the all-in-one board but it turned out to be complicated and expensive Instead I found another board called a ldquoButterflyrdquo which had nearly identical capabilities and an already functional arduino plugin Even better the Butterfly was 100 open source (the teensy is only mostly open source) I spent most of the Christmas vacation last year designing the Proffieboard and it took another couple of months of

testing to get a working prototype but itrsquos been a lot of fun

1 Download the TeensySaber firmware and SD card content

Unzip lightsaber-1286zip to your Documents directory or to

Desktop but not to Arduino program folder or anywhere in

Programs directory where all programs are installed You will

see a lightsaber folder and files inside it Donrsquot move any of

these files to any other location outside the lightsaber folder

and donrsquot reorganize them Unzip ProffieOS_SD_Cardzip to the

folder where you keep lightsaber-1286 folder Copy all files

from ProffieOS_SD_Card folder to your SD card

2 Unhide file extensions in File Explorer settings to see h ending

of config files Donrsquot add ldquohrdquo to the config file name

Go to config folder and create you own configh file (see page

23 for how-to)

Double-click the lightsaberino file

3 Add the name of your configh file as shown and Save this

lightsaberino file Make sure the other config files are

commented out there should be only one CONFIG_FILE

without You can have multiple config files

in lightsabergtconfig folder and just define the one you need

in lightsaberino file and upload it again to TeensySaber board

4 Connect battery to TeensySaber board and hook up to your PC

with a data transfer micro-USB-to-USB cable

Press arrow button it will compile and upload firmware to the

board Wait for your PC to make a sound or TeensySaber will

play boot sound if speaker is connected Now you can unplug

the USB cable Done

If it gives an error instead this means your configh file has

issues define CONFIG_FILE name has mistakes configh file

is out of config folder your PC user name is non-latin

CHANGING PARAMETERS3

Changing sound board parameters

All sound files (sound fonts music tracks) are stored on the micro SD card Add required sound fonts folders (Plecter NEC and Smoothswing

fonts are supported no need to change WAV files names just copy and paste) to SD card root directory as itrsquos done in the default

ProffieOS_SD_Card content folder and music tracks to the tracks folder

Make sure to name all music tracks and sound fonts folders with latin characters and only up to 8 characters long without using any special

characters (like |[- etc)

Make sure you have a configini file in each sound font folder if there is none - copy one from some default TeensySaberProffieBoard sound

font and paste into newly added sound font folder It has only one parameter that you can modify - humstart It helps to match hum sound

start with blade ignition 1000 usually works fine

All blade effects LED configuration volume level clash sensitivity etc are changed in the configh file located in lightsabergtconfig folder

To do that open any _configh file in the ldquolightsabergtconfigrdquo folder directory in any Text Editor (Notepad - to see code correctly in Notepad

Cut-and-Paste it to WordPad then Cut-and-Paste it back to Notepad Save) Ctrl+A (select all text) and Delete it then Copy-and-Paste (Ctrl+C

Ctrl+V) your wiring diagram config code into empty _configh file and Save it under new name Follow the instructions on page 22 to

Accent LEDs work with ProffieBoard as additional ldquobladesrdquo when powered by LED outputs 4 5 6 or Data pads 1 2 3 5 as PWM So they can

have any effect that blade can have If no effects needed accent led can be powered just by a 33V output pad (power-on led indication)

Uploading firmware

PROFFIEBOARD INSTRUCTIONS

1 Download the ProffieBoard firmware and SD card content

Unzip lightsaber-1286zip to your Documents directory or to

Desktop but not to Arduino program folder or anywhere in

Programs directory where all programs are installed You will

see a lightsaber folder and files inside it Donrsquot move any of

these files to any other location outside the lightsaber folder

and donrsquot reorganize them Unzip ProffieOS_SD_Cardzip to the

folder where you keep lightsaber-1286 folder Copy all files

from ProffieOS_SD_Card folder to your SD card

2 Unhide file extensions in File Explorer settings to see h ending

of config files Donrsquot add ldquohrdquo to the config file name Go to config folder and create you own configh file (see page

42 for how-to)

Double-click the lightsaberino file

3 Add the name of your configh file as shown and Save this

lightsaberino file Make sure the other config files are

commented out there should be only one CONFIG_FILE

without You can have multiple config files

in lightsabergtconfig folder and just define the one you need

in lightsaberino file and upload it again to ProffieBoard

4 Connect battery to ProffieBoard and hook up to your PC

with a data transfer micro-USB-to-USB cable

Press arrow button it will compile and upload firmware to the

board Wait for red text progress bars to stop at 100

ProffieBoard will play boot sound if speaker is connected

Now you can unplug the USB cable Done

If it gives an error instead this means your configh file has

issues define CONFIG_FILE name has mistakes configh file

is out of config folder your PC user name is non-latin

PROFFIEBOARD INSTRUCTIONS

CHANGING PARAMETERS

All sound files (sound fonts music tracks) are stored on the micro SD card Add required sound fonts folders (Plecter NEC and Smoothswing

fonts are supported no need to change WAV files names just copy and paste) to SD card root directory as itrsquos done in the default

ProffieOS_SD_Card content folder and music tracks to the tracks folder

Make sure to name all music tracks and sound fonts folders with latin characters and only up to 8 characters long without using any special

characters (like |[- etc)

Make sure you have a configini file in each sound font folder if there is none - copy one from some default TeensySaberProffieBoard sound

font and paste into newly added sound font folder It has only one parameter that you can modify - humstart It helps to match hum sound

start with blade ignition 1000 usually works fine

All blade effects LED configuration volume level clash sensitivity etc are changed in the configh file located in lightsabergtconfig folder

To do that open any _configh file in the ldquolightsabergtconfigrdquo folder directory in any Text Editor (Notepad - to see code correctly in Notepad

Cut-and-Paste it to WordPad then Cut-and-Paste it back to Notepad Save) Ctrl+A (select all text) and Delete it then Copy-and-Paste (Ctrl+C

Here is a list of tested micro SD cards speed with TeensySaber V3 and ProffieBoard Any card with speed over 900 kbs is recommended the

higher the speed is ndash the better Memory size of 4-16Gb is more than enough Cards were tested with a default firmware (1291) compiled

with ldquoSmallest Coderdquo under Optimize ldquodefault_proffieboard_confighrdquo file and default ProffieOS SD card sound files (7 folders)

To test your SD card speed simply hook up ProffieBoard to PC open Arduino IDE go to Tools and open Serial Monitor make sure you have

New Line and 9600 baud rate selected on the bottom of Serial Monitor window type and send sdtest command wait for the test result

There are a lot of fake (chinese copies) microSD cards on the market from aliexpress ebay amazon etc They look very similar to genuine

cards but are a bit different though and have a twice lower writingreading speed Here is an example of a SanDisk 4Gb Class 4 card one is

genuine with 137812 kbs speed and the other one is fake with 677 kbs speed I got from ebay seller

Be carefull and pay attention to how the actual card looks if you are not sure ask seller for the real photo of SD card he sells
