yes, you can use those breakout. Pololu makes some as well. Don't be sorry, it's now a "long" thread, you'll find JK burma talk and links about it

I'm betting by the time I get all the parts and tools I need for this new build I'm designing the CFX will be on like fw version 10.010 or something like that  :laugh:  Guess it all depends on how long it takes for me to get the tools then hopefully when I'm ready for the parts TCSS has them in stock.  Though, I may get the board first, that way I have one to work with.

I have done a lot of builds at this point, and in my experience, the board is the last thing you need!  I am sure others have better ways of doing it, but you can design where you want everything to go from a picture in the manual, then wire up everything else and the board goes in and gets all connected up in 15 minutes, assuming your wiring is well thought out.

I’ve been using 10.004B with no real issues, and it’s great to have the improved poweron sound mixing - very cool.

I have a question relating to the clash style settings - apologies if I’ve missed it in the manual or elsewhere, but I cannot find a list of the different style_clash settings. There is a section in the manual on ‘Clash Fx and Lockup Fx’ which mentions Fade and local fade styles in terms of clashes, but it doesn’t mention what the style_clash setting should be. The lockup styles I was able to figure out from the change log which has the listing: legacy, localized, local noise I, local noise II - which I just assumed was in order starting at 1, but I didn’t see the style clash settings referenced in the change log.

Glad you checked (and enjoyed) the improved player. Actually, it had some tailing issue if you retract immediately (for long power on sounds), cleaned in the version I'm working on.
Yes, manual needs some work on those, didn't detail too much the lockup neither.
For now:
- legacy clash is just the non localized clash mirroring directly the blade color during FoC, as defined by FoC and shimmer settings
- clash fade bring foc color then fade over time (focd), all over the blade
- Local fade make it fade but changing of location randomly on the blade
- localized clash is the same, but the same size and location as the lockup

Hi all - minor issue playing around with the latest betas...updated FW to 4b and studied Ervs demo reel settings and reread the manual. Update works well and everything works as expected EXCEPT no smoothswing (tried smooth_mode 1,2 and 3 with several smoothswing fonts.)  I then tried the latest sd package and Ervs demo reel configs with no changes except to move the smooth fonts to each fonts root and getting rid of the legacy ie in the crystal focus font folder.). Again, everything works perfectly except no smoothswing (clash is great so motion sensor is good.)

I am rereading the release notes and manual assuming there is just a config that I am missing...anyone else experience this and/or aware of a possible mistake that I have made?  Again, to avoid questions on a custom config, I used all stock from the download section of Ervs site. Thanks!

What if you downgrade?
Do you get regular swings in non smoothswing fonts?

I tried the 10.002, and then the 10.003b (since that version was in the file name for your reel package, figured from a config point of view the FW/should be spot on.)

In each case, all functionality seems spot on, but smoothswing does not work.

I was going to go back to the original stable version and the stock config that came with the board, or WORST case, swap the board out for another I have on the bench, and then hook this up to the test rig for further analysis.

Appreciate the time, and any pointers!

If the swings work (accents or regular) then the gyro is ok. Check your smooth gate.
Also not all fonts are smooth swing. Shatter point is, shoto too, about half of the default package

Yep...swing and clash sounds work. Gate and smooth_gate are both 50, which was stock, and works perfectly on my last 5 CFX builds.

I looked through each font and only kept the smoothswing fonts on there.

Very puzzling!

please PM me your full card structure as it is (zipped + dropbox link or equivalent) and I'll have a look.
Look at your board logs from the very beginning and look for the sensor init lines, and paste them here

Hi Erv -

Working on posting the config files so they are available to you...in the meantime, here is the boot, with debugging.  I also tried dropping smooth_date all the way down, and still didn't get a smooth swing...I apologize in advance if this is causing you to spend time based on a dumb mistake!  Update - I posted a bunch of the beginning, but the boot log was too long to post, so will include the full log in the config post on dropbox.

I have done a lot of builds at this point, and in my experience, the board is the last thing you need!  I am sure others have better ways of doing it, but you can design where you want everything to go from a picture in the manual, then wire up everything else and the board goes in and gets all connected up in 15 minutes, assuming your wiring is well thought out.

The reason I want to get the board in the first half is I'm worried it'll be sold out when I'm ready to order parts.

Hey erv, and chance on releasing the wiring diagram or a basic how to for the RFID functionality you demoed for the CFX? That has me extremely curious.
