Now you can use your lightaber! Here are a few notes on operation.
- Depending on battery size, you'll get from 30 minutes to a couple of hours of continuous use -- power is conserved when the blade NeoPixels are "retracted" and when the board is powered off with the on/off switch
- You can charge the battery by simply plugging the HalloWing into USB power
- Deploy and retract the blade by touching the A5 capacitive touch pad as shown in the video above
- Gentle swings trigger the swing effect, fast swings or hitting things (not too hard) will trigger the hit effect
- If the sensitivity for swings and hits is off, you can adjust in the code the
HIT_THRESHOLD
andSWING_THRESHOLD
values
