Title: STREAM Core
Post by: JakeSoft on October 27, 2018, 12:24:15 PM
It's here.

The two Arduino saber originals have teamed up to bring you the STREAM Core™ RGB Version 1 featuring hardware by Prowerkstatt and the S.T.R.E.A.M. software system developed by JakeSoft.

Based on the venerable DIYino™ Stardust V3, this board comes fully programmed with the S.T.R.E.A.M. firmware. There is no sketch to compile, no code to download, and no libraries to install; just wire it and enjoy. (This is NOT FX-SaberOS/LightsaberOS and shares no code in common; this is a totally new ProtowerkStatt/JakeSoft collaboration!)

Features at a glance:
- SD Card Included! Each board will come equipped with an SD card preloaded with 4 sound fonts.

- Firmware Features:

Of course you also get all the benefits of the proven Stardust V3 platform:

All of this is delivered on a gorgeous special-edition jet-black PCB.

STREAM Core is the only turn-key saber board in the galaxy to combine the software development expertise of JakeSoft with superb electrical engineering from Protonerd/Obi_1.  This is the culmination of a collective decade in saber development, so please join me and welcoming this new mid-range saber core to the fold!

For sales and availability questions, contact Obi_1. Expect prices to be ~75 USD when the boards go on sale.

This is so awesome. Kept having to stop the video because I'm at work  :cry: so it took me an entire day to watch what this can do! Lot's of work went into this! Very cool features and I love all the small aspects you can tune on the fly such as the sound volume. That is incredible. I also love the swing interaction settings as tuning that stuff seems like it would make the experience a lot better and more real. The saber looks great! And the color tuning for all the effects is so cool as well.

Awesome! Any chance of seeing a feature comparison table with other boards on the market? Or does one already exist somewhere?

Thanks!

I didn't make a comparison table, but if you have a question about a specific feature just ask.

A taste of some of the included sound fonts. Every STREAM Core board will ship with these fonts on the SD card. Have a listen!

Special thanks to font artist Darth PJs!

PSA: The protowerkstatt.com website has been retired. All future sales of STREAM Core boards are P2P with Obi_1. PM him if interested in purchasing from the remaining stock.

Greetings!

I have received my STREAM board, but I'm having trouble finding an instruction manual.  Do you all have a manual or a wiring diagram?

Thanks!!!

Thanks for showing these!  If you like these fonts, I have other on saberfont.com under "Trinity Force Sabers."

Quick question:  Will there be a version that uses neopixel strips?  Would be cool to combine the blade customization from the stardust with your interface.

Thanks!

NeoPixel is already supported as of version 1.5. If you have a SDv3, you can download the free version and start using it right now!
