INTRODUCTION

Introducing the Spark Color 2™, the simple and affordable way to get color mixing into your saber! By combining
the simplicity of Spark™ and the powerful color mixing engine from Igniter 2™, Spark Color 2™ allows an amazing
depth of features:
 Color Mixing is independent of fonts – set each color set separately from each font, allowing all the colors
to be used with all fonts!
 Easy setup – with only a few tabs in the color editor, setup is a breeze while still allowing effects
personalization.
 Use the Spark Color 2™ Color Editor by booting the saber with the aux button pressed, allowing color-
configuration on the fly!
 TruMix™ - hum sounds are mixed in real-time with other sounds
 Six (6) sound fonts supported, along with Saber Tracks™; a mode to play your favorite music and audio
files.
 Integrated MaxAmp™ allows for maximum volume with the 3.7v battery.
 On-board 3axis gyro and 3axis accelerometer, using SaberSense™ for superb motion tracking.
 22050Hz, 16bit crystal clear audio.
All of this now comes in a super tiny package – only 2.07" x .85" x .238" with TruDrive™ attached, and 1.75" x .85"
x .238" for the board detached! This board operates on ONE 3.7v Li-ion battery, making installation suited for just
about any build.
2.1. COLOR MIXING
Color mixing is done a bit differently in Spark Color 2™. Unlike Igniter 2™ which utilizes a color for each font, Spark
Color 2™ has nine (9) color sets which are independent from the fonts. A color set consists of a main blade color, a
clash color, and a blaster block color. These colors are stored on disk in the folders colr1, colr2, ..., colr9. They can
be edited from both the Configuration Editor on the computer, or from the Color Editor by booting the saber with
the aux button pressed. The latter allows color editing in real time!
To change colors, simply perform the DualPhase™ motion from Igniter™ when a font is running. This will advance
to the next color set. When the last color set is reached, it will start again at the first.
When performing the retraction, the current color set is remembered, so that going to the next font will not reset
the color set. Going to any font and performing the extension will be for the last used color set. Inserting the kill
key or cutting power to the board will reset the color as the board always launches in the first color set.
2.2. NEW IN SC2-R3
The SC2-R3 release brings more great features to an already solid color-mixing platform.

Engage the blade in Saber Tracks™, and cycle through all 9 colors. Saber Tracks™ has its own color storage
and maintains the last color used; it defaults to the first color set.

Linear hum and linear actions ported from Igniter™, allowing the hums, extensions, and retractions, and
the swings, slashes, blasts, clashes, and lockups to be played in file order instead of being randomly
selected.

Improved LED driver for smoother effects, and cleaner audio.
