how do we make the blade flicker?

[DAWOLF40]

I am a little confused on how to make the led flicker in the emerald options (I will be getting an emeral saber soon, so I would like to know for the future)

[Landen Se-Sentien]

1. Open the launcher.
2. Turn on saber.
3. Plug in saber (into the green board inside your hilt)and make sure it connects and is read by the computer.
4. Select the emerald tab in the launcher.
5. You will then see a pulse line. What you need to have is two different colors. The colors could be similar (guardian blue and a lighter/darker blue), or they could be different (guardian blue and consular green). You need to change the lines on the slider so that there are only 2 color boxes, and you need to adjust the timing to a speed you like.

Here is a thread with a bit more info:

Don't forget to click on "write to board" to save the changes.
Don't forget to click on "disconnect saber" on the main launcher screen before unplugging.

If you need me to, I can post a picture of my screen that might help, but it's on my laptop at home.

I find that 0.08 is just perfect for making it flicker.
You'll need to make one of the colours a little bit darker or a little bit lighter, and different colours take more or less changing to get the same effect.

I like 0.06 or 0.08. My thread says 0.04, but I came to realize that it was too fast for a lot of colors.

Here is the picture I mentioned earlier.  It's for blue with a yellow FoC, but the setup is the same for whatever color you want.  You can adjust the timing to what you like, and you can change the colors too, obviously.

I will usually have a red color in...so what other color would I use for that? and thank you guys for replying!

If you're going for simply 100% red and 0% everything else, its as simple as turning one color to 95% or 90% for a gentle flicker, 80% for a reasonable flicker, 70% for a violent flicker, and everything under that can be classified as a strobe light AND an epileptic's worst nightmare. (Two for the price of six!)

I would agree with that.  Also, just get in there and play with it to find the percentages you like.
