Anyway, you make some very good points and I appreciate the feedback. I figured by the layout of the board there was no room, I just wasn't sure if you had finalized your design. Thanks for the offer on the GECE's, I'll hit you up. If you still need an external antenna on an ESP-01, you can hack the printed one off and solder an SMA connector on like these guys below did. If you need to reach out really far, I'd look into something like a Ubiquiti NanoStation locoM2 () to mount outside. I was able to get 400' out from my house using a $20 TP-Link TL-WR841N () access point running OpenWRT in my garage. I think you may be pleased with the range of an ESP-01 and a decent access point. There's no room on the current board to support the footprint required for an ESP-07, so it would require a complete redo of the layout. I'd even send you one via Amazon to give it a shot. I'd like to have the option to mount this in a housing using an external antenna for better range (think Neighbor's house across the street using the same sequence as my house).

Would you consider offering this using an ESP8266-07? The ESP-07 supports both an onboard ceramic as well as external antenna which is the main reason I ask. It's just WS2811 for now, but I could look at adding it if someone wanted to send me a light or two. I'll try dragging some more lights out this week and see what I can do.Ĭ) I don't have any GECE stuff in the firmware or lights to test with. I've tested 4 universe before, but its a little sketchy and you get some resets. There a little odd at 3.96 pitch, but keeps it open to use the wafers or euros.ī) The firmware currently only supports a single universe, but I'm pretty confident it could support two if required. I'm still waiting on the connectors I ordered to show up and will do a fitment test when I get them. Transwhite polycarbonate blade (1" outer, 7/8" inner diameter) with parabolic blade tip.I am interested in 15-20 of these things.Ī) If you have the Euro connector will the board still fit in a 1" PVC tube? Seems like it would have to grow to at least 1.5"?ī) Will the firmware (or can) support 2 universes per pixel stick on one output?Ĭ) I thought you had a video driving GECE with the pixelstick, is that working?Ī) It mounts at a right angle so I'm hoping it'll clear.We therefore expressly exclude combat damage from the warranty and guarantee. If you are unsure whether our blade fits your saber, just send us an email to Due to the construction of the blade and the included circuit board, the blade is only conditionally suitable for combat. Definitely our blades work with the sabers of the following manufacturers:Īnd others. This is the same or similar across most manufacturers in its function and basic design. Our Neopixel blades are compatible with all sabers that have the matching Hilt Side PCB. In order to use a Neopixel blade, the saber must have a matching connector on the hilt side, so it cannot simply be inserted into a saber with a high-power LED. Furthermore, the brightness is significantly higher compared to high-power LED-lit sabers. The characteristic scrolling effect during powering the blade up and down, localized flash on clashes or lockups as well as different blade profiles can be displayed this way. This allows you to create a wide variety of effects that are not possible with the illumination of a blade by a high-power LED. Neopixel blades contain a circuit board with individually controllable RGB LEDs on both sides.
