How to Add Soundfonts to a Proffie Lightsaber

[@wolfybuilder]

This needs more views! Until this video, I hadn't even considered the possibility of frying my board with a charging cable! This is very important information that is rarely discussed, and needs to be more widely spread

[@LostCompositions]

I already feel better knowing Lando's fried a saber just like all of us.

[@LandoSabers]

I wanted to be able to feel the pain. It was very felt.

[@seaslicks]

How do you know if the board is fried? Are there any indicators?

[@LostCompositions]

@@seaslicks You'll smell it, haha

[@zaowinslow487]

My first 2 lightsabers fried as soon as I plugged them in

[@blake_1146]

@@zaowinslow487 is it because you used a power cable not a “data” cable

[@andredantin15]

I can’t overstate how invaluable this was for me being a Proffie noob. You make it seem 1,000% less daunting in a clear, concise fashion. Hats off to you, sir!

[@kolbynope3911]

I have one ordered, I was going to get a cfx for obvious reasons, but they were sold out for the hilt/saber/whatever you call it. I went with a proffie just to be safe and finally get my hands on one. Do certain fonts not work on proffie boards?

[@llollercakes]

This should be the #1 Proffie set up video everybody watches first. Best one I've watched and super easy to follow. Great job man.

[@aarenhogan8932]

My CrimsonDawn Saber literally just came in today and this vid just came on my feed.

[@jmk3149]

Lando, you made this so easy. I thought this was something I couldnt do ever, but following your video, I was able to get it done on first try. Especially easy on Mac. Thx man

[@Alextw14]

I’m on mac as well, which method did you do? the first one or second? because i’m doing the second one but I’m stuck at a part that i need some help with

[@htv_frexxy6333]

I’m on a Mac but my brain did not understand anyone able to help

[@pdamasco]

This was the easiest video to follow on this subject so far. It's weird that they designed it in a way that the standard micro USB cable could possible cause damage but I'm really glad you mentioned that. I have a ton of them hanging around but most are probably from phones and Bluetooth headphones for charging so again I'm super glad you mentioned this! I hope you make more like this in the near future.

[@LandoSabers]

Thank you Paul! And yeah, it’s kinda sad that the current board does not support micro USB cable charging, but the Proffie V3 board (pending release hopefully this year) should support it, so mess ups with the wrong cable may actually be eliminated and go unpunished there. It makes it very convenient, and eliminates a bit of the risk, so that’s really nice in my opinion. But until then, we all have to be very careful with our cable management around the Proffie 2.2, I keep all of my data cables far away from all of my charging cables.

[@Solo_Sabers]

Excellent video. I watched the whole thing and found it to be very informative form A to Z man. I’ll be referencing customers to this. Thank you

HI Lando Sabers! I got a Luke Skywalker Proffie lightsaber! I tried the easiest method that you showed us, now it plays the music and sound from The Mandalorian rescue! Thanks again!!!

[@AverageNerdGuy]

This is going to be SOOOO helpful!!! The driver and flashing of the board is almost EXACTLY the same thing I had to learn to flash my iFlight controllers for the FPV drones I build. I was so worried about having to learn all this and had been told how horrible Proffie was but from the dfu comm connection, to the config flash, to the driver issues; this is all stuff I had to troubleshoot and learn with Betaflight and BLHeli for Flight controller and ESC flashing when I tune my quad!!! The coding part reminds me a lot of the stuff I had to code in Marlin for my 3Dprinter when I built it (All the way down to having a config.h file; which is no shock because my printer's mainboard uses an STM32 processor chipset as well). Its amazing how these hobbies follow so many similar pathways!!! Thank you SOOOO much!!! I cant wait to get my final parts in (Waiting for my TGS Hilt to come in and my Shapeways crystal for my Crystal Chamber) then i can finish up my ANH Graflex.

[@LandoSabers]

Just make sure when you go to flash the board, there’s a chance it won’t compile as I had drivers on my computer that tried to use my Proffie, so I had to go in and remove them, select the STM32Bootloader in Zadig and use WinUSB drivers so that my board would be recognized. Stuff like external controllers, racing sim software and hardware, etc. can mess with Proffie boards.

[@TheBigChuckles]

Dude I just got my very first proffie saber early this month and your video has helped me tremendously. I haven't tried anything yet cuz I probably should buy a micro sd card first just to avoid any potential complications and then Imma search the web for some fonts. Cheers!

[@RobWills76]

Thank you for this video I've just purchased my first Lightsaber I have gone balls deep and gone straight for a Graflex proffie neopixel, After watching all your and others videos I just had to have one. It's crazy I've been Star Wars mad since 1982 but never really thought about purchasing one until now I can see what they can do. I've done hours of research in to Proffie etc and found this probably the best one yet. Also thank you for all the other videos steering me clear of Ultrasabers and so on. MTFBWY

[@mojavetrooper8547]

Thanks so much dude, this really helped. Small addition though for anyone having the same issue with the Port in Arduino. In a lot of cases too, The first time you do it, it doesn’t have to say ‘Proffieboard’, it most likely just says ‘COM3’ or ‘COM(X)’. Once you upload it to that the first time, the next time you plug in your board, it will start to say ‘Proffieboard’

[@OrangeTheSaberGuy]

thank you for making it easier to understand. As a person who had to go off of 4-hour youtube videos and just reading the manual over the course of 16 hours, this helps others avoid the pain I went through. Also I never had an issue with cables, if it wasn't a data cable nothing happened for me. Would avoid using a non-data cable though. Better safe than sorry.

[@thunt02]

Was very disappointed by the quality of some of the sound fonts on the crimson proffie core, I decided to replace those sound fonts with better ones. Thank you so much for this helpful video!

Dumb question: what if our original saber provider didn't include a Config H File in the SD card? I bought one off of Artsabers and I'm currently SOL as far as changing the blade styles for each of the included presets even if I swap out the sounds the easy way.

[@AndrewTanielian]

This is incredible! I learned a lot and have since looked up Profile 6 because you said it was coming out. Thank you!

[@enricopallazzo19]

Nice video. I hold onto a basic text file with my blade profiles by font. If I get a new saber or want to change one up, it’s just a matter of copy/pasting them to the config. Personally, I always have to use Zadig. Not a big deal, but it does make it a build requirement that I have access to the board. Must have access to the boot/reset buttons.

[@LandoSabers]

Yeah that’s a bit unfortunate, but it’s always nice to have full access to the board even if you don’t have to use the boot/reset buttons.

[@TheHereticSpot]

Your USB Cable link goes to "Rankie Micro Charging" is that stil lthe same cable? I have the issue that all the cables i see are data-charging cables, so i am screwed?

[@xanderselick]

Very concise and clear. There weren't any points were I was confused. Solid tutorial man 👍

[@PhantomYouTubeOfficial]

Is there still not a way to do this without plugging the board in directly? I managed to break of the micro USB port on my board due to making the mistake of sitting my saber next to me while plugged in with rowdy siblings... they run around, they bump the saber, off the table it goes, while still plugged in... YOINK... you get the idea.. I've been desperately trying to find a workaround for a couples years now....

[@LandoSabers]

You paid for a SOUND font, not a BLADE style. Two separate things, as I very explicitly explained in the video. You can get blade styles from Fett263’s library for Proffie or Crystal Focus Net if you have a CFX saber. It’s not up to the font maker to provide one for you, because they would have to update the blade style if there are OS updates for the soundboards. They just make the sounds, not the effects.

[@elpd7673]

Not sure if you are able to answer this question but I’m going to throw it out there since it’s confusing me a lot. I have two proffie sabers installed by a reputable Etsy saber installer, and they are well installed from what I can tell. I have the skills to add fonts, blade styles, gestures, etc. to the board and I have done so with both sabers. Everything is working fairly flawlessly except for one strange issue. On both sabers, wherever there is white in a blade style on the config (main blade color or other effects) , the blade will display a light orange-white color instead of true white. What’s even odder Is that when the sabers are fully charged, the programmed white looks like white as it should, but as the battery drains, the more orange it gets. I’ve tried three blades on both sabers, (and every sensible physical fix and adjustment) and no difference. I appreciate you taking the time to read this and if you’re unable to help if you could point in the direction of someone that could that would be great.

This may be a stupid question, but do you need to still take out your micro SD card and use the card reader if the saber has a micro usb slot (eg.
