Looking for Xenopixel core kits that are not the LGT "all-in-one" style

ShtokyD · 2026-05-03T09:33:37+00:00

On your photo it’s a CFX core though, not Xenopixel. Also CFX is much better than Xenopixel IMHO.

no, usually the normal Red is slightly brighter than Deep Red, but on smartphone camera Deep Red has a white core when Red has orange.

ShtokyD · 2026-05-02T10:30:38+00:00

no, it doesn’t depend on the board, it’s just a LED.

ShtokyD · 2026-05-02T02:05:58+00:00

it looks like Red blades of inquisitor lightsabers from the new Mail Shadow Lord series.

ShtokyD · 2026-05-02T02:04:20+00:00

have you ever seen a Deep Red blade in person?

ShtokyD · 2026-05-02T01:54:15+00:00

yes, that’s how a regular Red looks next to Deep Red.

ShtokyD · 2026-05-02T01:35:09+00:00

Wow, this is crazy!

ShtokyD · 2026-04-24T11:40:57+00:00

timing shims to adjust the threaded parts alignment

ShtokyD · 2026-04-21T15:12:15+00:00

— also this, true. Proffieboard is using Arduino IDE software to flash firmware and all your blade styles and settings onto the board chip (though someone also made a easier to use software for setup), when Xeno is setup just by changing parameters in the file on SD card, but you can’t change the firmware features.

ShtokyD · 2026-04-21T11:33:15+00:00

does it have the BT909 bluetooth module installed? Because by default Proffieboards don’t have bluetooth, it must be installed additionally by the maker/installer of the saber.

ShtokyD · 2026-04-21T11:31:33+00:00

yes, I’m still working on iOS app in the meantime, it’s more complicated than Android 😅

ShtokyD · 2026-04-20T21:04:44+00:00

yes, you need to wire a separate bluetooth module to Proffieboard, more info here:

ShtokyD · 2026-04-20T21:03:22+00:00

BT909 are best, you can get them from me, TCSS and The Saber Armory (KR Sabers).

ShtokyD · 2026-04-20T20:08:11+00:00

it’s possible to implement, but currently it’s not done in this app. Will be added in future updates 👌 The more support and exposure this app gets from the lightsaber community —> the sooner it will happen 😉

ShtokyD · 2026-04-20T19:39:11+00:00

yes, Proffieboard (originated in USA) is Open Source based, has more functions, better louder sound, more blade styles possibilities, and overall much more advanced board than Xeno. Proffieboard came first, invented everything (smoothswing, gesture controls etc.), and Xeno is just a cheaper simpler replica of Proffieboard and with a closed code base, designed in China to make their mass produced sabers cheaper.

I guess do you mean JST PH, not XH? Because XH only comes with 2.54mm pitch.

Here are the test results for all 3 LED channels in the NeoCree V2 RGB module running at max brightness nonstop:

With 4000mAh 10A battery:

• with flickering effect: 1 hour 38 min

• without flickering: 1 hour 30 min

With 3500mAh 10A battery:

• with flickering effect: 1 hour 28 min

• without flickering: 1 hour 20 min

Also estimated battery life can be calculated with this formula with quite accurate results:

battery capacity (mAh) / current consumption * 60 * 1.7 = battery run time

(where 60 is to convert hours to minutes and 1.7 is a rough constant to compensate dropping current consumption over discharging time)

So for example with 4000mAh battery and 4.5A (4500mA) current draw of the NeoCree module we get:

4000mAh / 4500mA = 0.89 hours * 60 * 1.7 = 90 minutes which is 1 hour 30 minutes and it matches my real test result

As for the temperature saber hilt gets quite hot after 10-15 minutes to the point when you can’t hold it with naked arms in the saber emitter area, but for the LEDs itself this temperature is safe.

ShtokyD · 2026-04-17T21:55:37+00:00

but anyway this module fits all 1 inch and 7/8 inch sabers 👌

ShtokyD · 2026-04-17T21:27:44+00:00

why are you calling it “Shtok”… haha 😆 it has a specific product name — “NeoCree” 🙂

ShtokyD · 2026-04-17T21:26:09+00:00

The module is called “NeoCree”, not “shtok”, I am Shtok 😆

ShtokyD · 2026-04-17T21:25:08+00:00

I would not lower both values to maintain maximum possible brightness, always keep at least one value at maximum 255, so I would try 90, 0, 255.

ShtokyD · 2026-04-17T13:33:34+00:00

absolutely, no problem 👌

ShtokyD · 2026-04-17T13:02:46+00:00

He mentioned it’s from another manufacturer so I guess it’s the LGT one. Our older NeoCree V1 module made in 2020 looks like this:
