SN-Pixel Instructions

You can find instructions below at SN-Pixel V4 Instructions

Before use, charge the saber fully with the provided cable and charging block. Make sure to not supply more than 5V and 1A output to the saber or charge the saber while it's on. If those numbers mean gibberish then don't worry, that's what the charging block is for!

Charge for about 3 hours for but make sure not to leave it completely unattended.

To insert the blade, use the provided hex key to loosen the emitter blade retention screws. Insert the blade and tighten the screws just enough to hold the blade in place with friction.

Be careful not to over-tighten, as this will dent and damage the blade. Light marks on the blade from the set screw is expected.

Features

SN-Pixel V4 comes with a large library of sound fonts (27) already on the SD card but you can add even more just by dragging and dropping it on the SD card. There are at least 10 blade styles and 12 preon effects that can be configured with even more available to be customized via the mobile app!

Adding Background Music

Some but not all of the default sound fonts have background tracks already.

If you wish to add tracks to a sound font make sure that they are:

  • saved as .wav files
  • bitrate of 44100 Hz
  • saved without any metadata

Tracks are stored in each individual sound font folder with the following naming format track#.wav or track (#).wav. If you have multiple track files, make sure they are named in numeric sequential order. When playing background music the tracks would be selected at random.

You can also customize blade styles in the "config.ini" file in the "set" directory.

Mobile App

In addition to the SD card, you can more easily customize the saber via Bluetooth using a mobile app. The app "ForcePark" is available on Android through the Google Play Store and iOS on the App Store.

It currently has the below icon:



Note: The iOS version of the app is currently experiencing connectivity issues. The engineering team from TXQ is looking into resolving this in a future firmware update.

More Information

Battery Removal and Insertion

Some sabers may use an external battery charger which require removing the battery to recharge it. You may also want to remove the battery to reseat it in your ECO Saber or charge it externally. Below is a demo showing how to remove the battery from the tight battery holder and re-inserting it back in the core.

Saber with multiple blade retention screws

What if my saber has multiple blade retention screws? Should I tighten them all in?

Good question, here are some diagrams to illustrate which ones you should tighten. The blade retention screws are marked in blue and the contact points acting on the blade are marked in red.


In the middle diagram with all retention screws tightened, the red areas marked in red are the surface area contact points of the blade. Note how it's only really making contact with the 4 retention screws and the opposite ones are counteracting against each other.

Whereas in the 3rd diagram on the right, where only retention screws on the same side are tightened, the blade has much more surface area contact with the inside wall of the hilt itself.

It's preferred to tighten retention screws on the same side, or 90 degrees from each other so the blade has more surface contact which results in it being held in the saber tighter.

Warranty

All ECO RGB sabers come with a 1-year limited warranty on the electronics. The warranty period begins on the date of delivery.

Warranty only covers normal operation of the saber as instructed. Tampering with the electronics, modifications to the hilt, inserting the battery with the incorrect polarity, and incorrectly charging the saber will void the warranty.

If there are any issues with the saber please reach out to us and we'll do our best to assist.
