Ya that wasn't it. There are 111 LED's on the blade, plus the pixel in the chamber for 112. I've changed that number from 112 +/- 20 and still no luck. However, I think it turns out that I've got a short somewhere in the system because if I touch the top of the proffie board in a certain spot...

Anyone willing to share their proffie config file? I can't figure out how to program this and therefore can't seem to get all the lights to work. Saber only lights up about 3/4 of the way on the default code generated from proffie's configurator.

Talk about great timing. UPS guy was driving up to the house as I was loading the car for C2E2 this weekend. I didn't have all the necessary components (or the time) to get it all lit up, but I trooped with it at C2E2 anyway. Everyone that handled it was like, "Woah! This thing is solid!"

I hope to get this thing sanded and painted in the next few weeks. I'm pretty happy so far with the...

Hey everyone- For the past few years, I've been slowly putting together a Vader costume. The chest box has always been the 600 pound gorilla in the room, but I'm very close to having that complete, as well. I've found a source for the rods and the red/green lights, but was unable to find a...

FTFY :)

Re: My Lifesize Jawa Build - 1st Attempt This was amazing to read. What a tremendous guide. Thankfully, it's small, so maybe if I build one, my wife won't notice it!

I don't think it's fair to all the other noobs out there when you call yourself a noob and post photos looking like that. Fantastic work!!

Re: Anybody else think Tim Burton and Johnny Depp should take a break from each other I gave up on the pair after the Willy Wonka traveshamockery. The child in me was so excited to see that movie when it came out, and all they did was stab that little child to death.

I'm pretty sure the only other option would be the General Lee.

Reading this has made me realize how much I can't wait for that game, and how much I know nothing about what you're doing. Keep up the good work!
