Will someone please help me with my emerald settings? I've tried for hours and cant get my red saber to do an authentic flicker. Nor can I get the flash on clash to go as fast as my old sabers always did... please help, I got the new Menace and want a nice sith red that flickers and flashes properly.

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.

My Sith Red settings on my emerald RGBW are:

0 sec ramp-up
0.02 sec at top
Primary Color = Red 255
0 Sec ramp-down
0.02 sec at bottom
Secondary Flicker Color = Red 255 / Green 78
FoC = 0.1 sec / 0.1 sec
Play 1 Time
FoC color = White 255

Hope that helps some.

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.
