Title: Re: Emerald Red Pulse/FOC Help Post by: Ululant on February 12, 2015, 01:37:06 AM I am not the expert but I am happy with my settings. I am sure there r others out there. When I have my 4 channel set to red, I have red on 255 and nothing else pulsing to red 255 and green 15. The settings for my pulse from left to right are .04 .02 .06 .02. For my FoC which I think was dva if I remember correctly, the settings I use are .02 .02 and plays 7 times. For some color combos I have to change the Foc to .06 .06 just so the other color shows, and I usually reduce the play to 5 times. Hope that helps... If any have other suggestions, I would love to try them out too... Happy sabering. Oh and congrats on the menace. I look forward to ordering that one in the future
Title: Re: Emerald Red Pulse/FOC Help Post by: Dow-T on February 12, 2015, 05:05:33 AM Thank you so much for the advice, I'll definitely be plugging it in and trying it out tomorrow. I actually got a nice red flickering effect by pulsing briefly to a darker shade of red, rather than trying to make it pulse to white. It just flickers now rather than slowly changing colors. I still wasn't quite able to get FoC the way I want it, as the minimum setting is 0.1 and even that seems sluggish to me. Not only that, but when I hit the button to make FoC stop, it tends to lag and keep going a brief moment afterwards. That bugs me as a guy who was able to have super-fast FoC on my non-emerald sabers and no lag or lack of response at any time. Also, for some reason my saber is flashing twice on impact? Does anyone have any idea why that may be..? When I hit it on something instead of just flashing once, it's doing two short flashes each time. Never ran into anything like that before.
Title: Re: Emerald Red Pulse/FOC Help Post by: HalfCracked on February 12, 2015, 05:24:08 AM The minimum time setting is 0.02 I believe. Anything below 0.1 has to be even increments. I.E. 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, etc.
On the side of the FOC pane there's a play x times setting. Check what you have in there. Title: Re: Emerald Red Pulse/FOC Help Post by: Khaalis on February 13, 2015, 08:54:30 AM My Sith Red settings on my emerald RGBW are:

On your FoC setting, I have mine set to flash white 3x @ .1 seconds. This gives a really cool "lightning" effect clash. You can experiment with the repetitions but 2-3 works nicely. The Lockup flash timing is set on the Obsidian board. My new v4 was set really slow. (.54 seconds I think) which looked strange with half a second between lockup flashes. I reduced it to the lowest possible setting (.1 or .2) and now it flashes like my v3 Obsidian boards. |
