Powering on/off

Wake Mode

This saber has what is called "Wake Mode" which is a low-power mode in between being completely off and having the blade actually on (ignited).

Turning on Wake Mode

Press and hold the LED button to bring out of sleep mode. You will hear a ‘Power On’ voice, and the LED button will turn on. The saber is now in Wake Mode. Watch this LED when controlling the saber, as listed in the details below.

Powering Down Entirely (Sleep Mode)

While the saber is in Wake Mode, press and hold the LED button for 10 full seconds. The LED button will turn off, meaning your saber is now officially in Sleep Mode and is properly powered down. NOTE: This will happen after the saber has been left idle for 10 minutes in Wake Mode, so if you forget to do this, it will do it automatically.

Igniting/Activating The Blade

While the saber is in Wake Mode, press the button once quickly, to turn the saber blade on. (Holding the button down too long will trigger other commands such as blade state effect, instead of powering up the blade.)

GESTURE CONTROL: give a sharp controlled thrust straight out to turn it on with style. This may take some practice to master, so give it a few tries if it doesn't work right away; you may not have used the appropriate angle or speed. See "Turning Motion Control On/Off" further down for turning gestures on/off if you need to troubleshoot that.

GESTURE CONTROL: give a sharp controlled twist around the axis of the blade while pointing it straight out to turn it on with style. This may take some practice to master, so give it a few tries if it doesn't work right away; you may not have used the appropriate angle, force, or speed. See "Turning Motion Control On/Off" further down for turning gestures on/off if you need to troubleshoot that.

Powering Down The Blade

Hold for 4 LED flashes (2 Seconds). The saber will still be in Wake mode.

Clash Lock Mode

While the blade is ignited (saber is on fully), hold for 1 LED flash (0.5 seconds) to "lock" the blade. Press button once to end lock-up.

Color Changing Mode

While the blade is ignited (saber is on fully), hold for 3 LED flashes (1.5 seconds). It will begin cycling through a smaller list of major color options; press button once to select the active color at any time.

While the blade is ignited (saber is on fully), hold for 2 LED flashes (1 second). It will begin cycling through the entire color spectrum; press button once to select the active color at any time.

Sound Controls

Adjusting Volume

While the saber is in Wake mode, hold for 1 LED flash (0.5 seconds). This will change the volume setting between High, Low, and Mute each time you do it.

Switching Sound Fonts

While the saber is in Wake Mode, either hold for 5 LED flashes (2.5 seconds) OR make a quick twisting motion of the hilt. Doing so will select the next sound font in the saber's sound font library. There are 12 total sound fonts included.

Light Effects

While the saber is in Wake mode, hold for 2 LED flashes (1 second). This will toggle your blade light effects between Stable, Unstable, and Pulse lighting styles when the blade is on.

Adjusting Behavior Settings

Turning Motion Control On/Off

While the saber is in Wake mode, hold for 3 LED flashes (1.5 seconds). Motion Control will toggle on if it was already off, or off it it was already on. NOTE: Does not affect font change on twist setting.

Turning Flash on Clash On/Off

While the saber is in Wake mode, hold for 4 LED flashes (2 seconds). Flash on Clash will toggle on if it was already off, or off it it was already on.

Charging

When the battery runs low, a voice will sound to inform you the battery is low. Insert the charging cable in the DC port. The hilt will have a "pulsing" light indicating that it is charging. Once it is fully charged, a voice will state "Ready" and the light will turn off.

Some sabers require you to take out the battery to charge it. When the charger is plugged in without a battery in place, the charger will have a green light to indicate power draw. When the battery is in place, if the light turns red, that means the battery is not at 100%. If the light is green while the battery is in, then it is fully charged. Use care and caution when removing the battery from the charger.

Symptoms of low battery

If you haven't charged it recently, the saber may flash on clash with a red tinge; if you don't notice this or ignore it long enough, the saber will turn off automatically and no longer be powered on OR in wake mode until recharged.

Charging

When the battery runs low, a voice will sound to inform you the battery is low. Insert the charging cable in the DC or USB-C port. The hilt will have a "pulsing" light indicating that it is charging. Once it is fully charged, the light will either turn off or remain lit and steady to indicate a full charge.

Symptoms of low battery

If you haven't charged it recently, the saber may flash on clash with a red tinge; if you don't notice this or ignore it long enough, the saber will turn off automatically and no longer be powered on OR in wake mode until recharged.

The Basics

Most controls are done via how long you hold down the button. Each flash takes 0.5 seconds, so if an instruction says hold for 3 flashes, that would be about 1.5 seconds, after which you would release the button.

• Press and hold the LED button to bring out of sleep mode. You will hear a ‘Power On’ voice, and the LED button will turn on.
• Press the button once, quickly, to turn the blade on.
• The following controls activate when the blade is on, and are based on the flash of the LED button light:
• A quick press will initiate a single blaster deflect effect
• Press and hold the button for one flash, then release. This will initiate the drag effect. A quick press will end the drag effect.
• Press and hold the button for two flashes, then release. This will initiate the color cycle. When the color you want shows, a quick press will end the color cycle.
• Continue to hold the button past 2 flashes to turn off the blade.
• While the blade is off, the following controls are activated based on the flash of the LED button light:
• Press and hold the button for one flash, then release. This will change the volume. There are 3 volume settings: Volume High, Volume Low, and Mute.
• Press and hold the button for two flashes, then release. This will change the blade effect. There are 6 blade effects: Steady, Pulse, Rainbow Blade, Candy Blade, Unstable, and Fire Blade.
• Press and hold the button for three flashes, then release. This will change the blade mode. There are several blade modes, including Some pre-on effects. Blade effects will affect pre-ons, but will not have any effect on Blaster Blade and Ghost Blade modes. Only blade color and font selection impact these modes.
• Press and hold the button for four flashes, then release. This will change the sound font. The selection of fonts can be customized by the user.

Advanced Controls: Motion

There are several motion or manual controls available on the XenoPixel V2.

1. A direct and quick stabbing motion with the hilt level will turn the blade on, or off.
2. A quick twist while the hilt is pointed down will change the font to the next on the list. Either direction will prompt the change as long as the hilt is pointed downward.
3. A quick twist while the hilt is pointed up will play a music track, if one or more are available in the selected fonts folder. A quick twist again will stop the music.
4. Hold the button and impact the hilt/blade to activate lockup. Release the button to end lockup.
5. While holding the button, a quick twist while the hilt is pointed down will change the selected blade color. Release the button to select the current color.
6. While holding the button, a quick twist while the hilt is pointed up will play a special effect. This will also play a sound if the correct file in included in the font.

Updating Firmware

In order to update effects, fix potential issues, and make improvements, firmware updates may released as needed. To make this as easy as possible to update, we currently only require one file be added to effect the upgrade. Please follow the steps below to upgrade your XenoPixel V3 board:

1. Remove the grip and pommel to access your XenoPixel chassis.
2. Carefully remove the battery. This is most easily done by lightly tapping the end of the chassis against your hand. Remember the chassis is marked to ensure, on reinserting the battery, that the positive and negative ends line up correctly.
3. Locate the micro SD card in the chassis. Be sure to note the orientation to make re-installation easier.
4. Carefully remove the micro SD card. Use your fingers or tweezers. Do not force the card upward or downward, as this could damage the connector.
5. Download the ‘update.bin’ file from your vendor/source. Open the file’s location on your PC or Mac.
6. Open the micro SD card, and open the ‘set’ folder
7. Drop the ‘update.bin’ in the ‘set’ folder
8. Once the .bin file is in the ‘set’ folder, safely eject your micro SD card, and install it back into your chassis.
9. Install the battery, but do not turn the hilt on; wait for sound confirmations, once the battery is installed, indicating that the update has begun, followed by one that indicates it has been completed. Please listen carefully as the sound may be difficult to make out. Normal updates should take only a few seconds – vendors will be made aware of larger updates as they become available.

Converting Sound Fonts

Converting sounds over to work with XenoPixel can take some patience, but is not a difficult process. At this time, conversion must be done manually. The font folder must be numbered sequentially; XenoPixel will not read folders with names. You won’t likely have to edit any sound files from existing popular soundfont formats, such as Proffie or CFX, but you will have to remove some files, and rename others.

You can safely add up to 16 of each type of sound to this folder. Windows 10 will automatically number renamed files of the same name, making converting multiple files of the same sound type much easier.

Xeno Configurator App

If you have an iPhone and Android, you can download the Xeno Configurator app. Ensure the saber is in Wake Mode, turn on the bluetooth of your device, and the saber should appear on your device list. This will only work with Xenopixel cores. You may need to remove the pommel if the base is very thick metal as this may block the bluetooth connection. This app will allow you to control unlimited saber colors, ignition/boot effects, saber blade effects, soundfonts and even let you install new soundfots with the app itself.

Charging

When the battery runs low, a voice will sound to inform you the battery is low. Insert the charging cable in the DC port. The hilt will have a "pulsing" light indicating that it is charging. Once it is fully charged, a voice will state "Ready" and the light will turn off.

Symptoms of low battery

If you haven't charged it recently, the saber may flash on clash with a red tinge; if you don't notice this or ignore it long enough, the saber will turn off automatically and no longer be powered on OR in wake mode until recharged.

Button names

1. PWR (if buttons are the same size, then PWR is the top button. Otherwise, it's the larger button if they are different sizes.)
2. AUX (if buttons are the same size, then AUX is the bottom button. Otherwise, it's the smaller button if they are different sizes.)

Turning on/off

Wake Mode

This saber has what is called "Wake Mode" which is a low-power mode in between being completely off and having the blade actually on (ignited).

To enable Wake Mode, hold the PWR button for 3 seconds.

To turn it back off from Wake Mode, hold PWR button for 8 seconds or simply leave alone for 20 minutes, after which it will automatically turn off to save power.

Igniting/Activating The Blade

While in Wake Mode, tap the PWR button to turn the saber blade on. (Holding the button down too long will trigger other commands such as blade state effect change instead of powering up the blade.)

GESTURE CONTROL: give a sharp controlled twist around the axis of the blade while pointing it straight out to turn it on with style. This may take some practice to master, so give it a few tries if it doesn't work right away; you may not have used the appropriate angle or speed.

Powering Down The Blade

Tap the PWR button to turn the saber blade off; the saber will still be in Wake mode.

GESTURE CONTROL: give a sharp controlled twist around the axis of the blade while pointing it straight out to turn it off with style. This may take some practice to master, so give it a few tries if it doesn't work right away; you may not have used the appropriate angle, force, or speed.

The Basics

Most controls are done via how long you hold down the button. Each flash takes 0.5 seconds, so if an instruction says hold for 3 flashes, that would be about 1.5 seconds, after which you would release the button.

• Press and hold the LED button to bring out of sleep mode. You will hear a ‘Power On’ voice, and the LED button will turn on.
• Press the button once, quickly, to turn the blade on.
• The following controls activate when the blade is on, and are based on the flash of the LED button light:
• A quick press will initiate a single blaster deflect effect
• Press and hold the button for one flash, then release. This will initiate the drag effect. A quick press will end the drag effect.
• Press and hold the button for two flashes, then release. This will initiate the color cycle. When the color you want shows, a quick press will end the color cycle.
• Continue to hold the button past 2 flashes to turn off the blade.
• While the blade is off, the following controls are activated based on the flash of the LED button light:
• Press and hold the button for one flash, then release. This will change the volume. There are 3 volume settings: Volume High, Volume Low, and Mute.
• Press and hold the button for two flashes, then release. This will change the blade effect. There are 6 blade effects: Steady, Pulse, Rainbow Blade, Candy Blade, Unstable, and Fire Blade.
• Press and hold the button for three flashes, then release. This will change the blade mode. There are several blade modes, including Some pre-on effects. Blade effects will affect pre-ons, but will not have any effect on Blaster Blade and Ghost Blade modes. Only blade color and font selection impact these modes.
• Press and hold the button for four flashes, then release. This will change the sound font. The selection of fonts can be customized by the user.

Advanced Controls: Motion

There are several motion or manual controls available on the XenoPixel V2.

1. A direct and quick stabbing motion with the hilt level will turn the blade on, or off.
2. A quick twist while the hilt is pointed down will change the font to the next on the list. Either direction will prompt the change as long as the hilt is pointed downward.
3. A quick twist while the hilt is pointed up will play a music track, if one or more are available in the selected fonts folder. A quick twist again will stop the music.
4. Hold the button and impact the hilt/blade to activate lockup. Release the button to end lockup.
5. While holding the button, a quick twist while the hilt is pointed down will change the selected blade color. Release the button to select the current color.
6. While holding the button, a quick twist while the hilt is pointed up will play a special effect. This will also play a sound if the correct file in included in the font.

Updating Firmware

In order to update effects, fix potential issues, and make improvements, firmware updates may released as needed. To make this as easy as possible to update, we currently only require one file be added to effect the upgrade. Please follow the steps below to upgrade your XenoPixel V3 board:

1. Remove the grip and pommel to access your XenoPixel chassis.
2. Carefully remove the battery. This is most easily done by lightly tapping the end of the chassis against your hand. Remember the chassis is marked to ensure, on reinserting the battery, that the positive and negative ends line up correctly.
3. Locate the micro SD card in the chassis. Be sure to note the orientation to make re-installation easier.
4. Carefully remove the micro SD card. Use your fingers or tweezers. Do not force the card upward or downward, as this could damage the connector.
5. Download the ‘update.bin’ file from your vendor/source. Open the file’s location on your PC or Mac.
6. Open the micro SD card, and open the ‘set’ folder
7. Drop the ‘update.bin’ in the ‘set’ folder
8. Once the .bin file is in the ‘set’ folder, safely eject your micro SD card, and install it back into your chassis.
9. Install the battery, but do not turn the hilt on; wait for sound confirmations, once the battery is installed, indicating that the update has begun, followed by one that indicates it has been completed. Please listen carefully as the sound may be difficult to make out. Normal updates should take only a few seconds – vendors will be made aware of larger updates as they become available.

Converting Sound Fonts

Converting sounds over to work with XenoPixel can take some patience, but is not a difficult process. At this time, conversion must be done manually. The font folder must be numbered sequentially; XenoPixel will not read folders with names. You won’t likely have to edit any sound files from existing popular soundfont formats, such as Proffie or CFX, but you will have to remove some files, and rename others.

You can safely add up to 16 of each type of sound to this folder. Windows 10 will automatically number renamed files of the same name, making converting multiple files of the same sound type much easier.

Xeno Configurator App

If you have an iPhone and Android, you can download the Xeno Configurator app. Ensure the saber is in Wake Mode, turn on the bluetooth of your device, and the saber should appear on your device list. This will only work with Xenopixel cores. You may need to remove the pommel if the base is very thick metal as this may block the bluetooth connection. This app will allow you to control unlimited saber colors, ignition/boot effects, saber blade effects, soundfonts and even let you install new soundfots with the app itself.

Charging

When the battery runs low, a voice will sound to inform you the battery is low. Insert the charging cable in the DC port. The hilt will have a "pulsing" light indicating that it is charging. Once it is fully charged, a voice will state "Ready" and the light will turn off.

Symptoms of low battery

If you haven't charged it recently, the saber may flash on clash with a red tinge; if you don't notice this or ignore it long enough, the saber will turn off automatically and no longer be powered on OR in wake mode until recharged.
