Congratulations on your purchase of a HyperBlade SaberSD sound module! This kit is
the ultimate saber upgrade for collectors, enthusiasts, role players, and costumers.
Your saber kit was manufactured using the highest-grade components available, please
handle it with care as not to damage any of the components from static electricity. If you
are not familiar with static electricity handling procedures, please refer to ESD
procedures. Basic information on ESD can be found here:

NOTICE: There is no warranty on kits. It is your responsibility to install the board. Opened kits cannot
be returned. Be careful if you use a battery source that is capable of delivering a lot of current. Contact a
professional if you need assistance. Hyperdyne Labs assumes no responsibility for the misuse of this kit.
This device is protected under US patent 6,150,947.
Introduction
Our sound module is plug-and-play compatible with our LED driver unit. The sound
board incorporates several "never-before" seen features that is unique to our HyperBlade
system – including our ClashEffect
feature , multi-speed vibrating ForceFeedback™
TM
feature, auto calibrate, and user-friendly Sound Template Creation software tool. The
SaberSD module uses a microSD memory card to store all of the sounds and
configuration settings. The module uses standard WAV files.
Here is a pic of the SaberSD board:

  • Page 2 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs The sound module features the following advancements: • MicroSD card holds all sounds and config settings • Patented dual-axis accelerometer design • 1W audio amplifier directly drives a speaker (4 – 32 ohms) • Configurable on/off switch input for standalone use or with all types of saber drivers.
  • Page 3 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs Sound Board Features The SaberSD sound board includes several novel features – including our ClashEffect output to the driver board (to synchronize clash sound and blade flicker), configurable sound templates using standard WAV sound files, a microSD card that can be changed using a PC reader, a ForceFeedback multi-speed vib motor, and programmable settings to customize your saber behavior and sound schemes.
  • Page 4 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs When the board is powered on, the card detect LED will blink until a SD card is inserted. NOTE: Insert the microSD card with the gold fingers facing upwards! It can only go in one way.

  • Page 5: Configuration File Format

    © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs force<xx>.wav – Strike/force sounds, you can store up to 20 sounds. deflect<xx>.wav – Deflection/lockup sounds, you can store up to 10 sounds. startup.wav – Optional start up playback sound upon boot up. mode.txt – File holding all configuration parameters.
  • Page 6 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs vibhuminten=4; viboninten=15; clashondeflect=1; When you want to change any of the parameters, edit the file and change the corresponding line. Also make sure the line ends with a “;” All the values for the parameters have been mapped to integer numbers (no fractions). This was designed for simplicity so the user doesnt have to remember different number formats for parameter values.
  • Page 7 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs xsens – Sensitivity of the accelerometer x-axis (strike events). A larger number results in a less sensitive response to forward-backward motion. Smaller numbers make the saber much more responsive to even the smallest changes. Valid number range: 1-999 (Default = 500) ysens –...
  • Page 8 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs randdeflect – Boolean to select random deflection sounds to play out every time the deflection (aux) input button is held down. 1 = randomize deflection sounds, 0 = play deflection sounds in numeric order (Default = 1) usemomentary –...
  • Page 9 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs Example: If you are using a 3V vib motor with the sound board and a 12V battery, the max setting you should not go exceed for any of the vibration parameters is: 64*(3/12) = 16 If you are using a 12V battery and 12V vibration motor, the max setting is 64.
  • Page 10 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs BOARD ORIENTATION Down SD card SaberSD board SD card After the sound board determines your swing and clash thresholds, it will report them to you vocally. You can edit your mode.txt file and put these values in the respective threshold variables.
  • Page 11 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs Strike event detection Strike/force event are detected using up/down or forward/backward motion with little to no side-to-side motion. The board continuously analyzes motion for this particular gesture before triggering a strike sound. The forceangle parameter determines how strict the motion path must be.
  • Page 12 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs Switch Hookup for Standalone Mode If you are using the sound module in standalone mode (w/o our Hyperblade LED blade driver), then you have to connect up the switches for on/off, power wires, and the aux (deflection) input.
  • Page 13 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs Here is a diagram showing how to connect up your switch inputs using the header pins (the header cable is also available from us to simplify hookup). On/off switch (momentary or latching*) battery header Deflection (aux) switch...
  • Page 14 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs Protecting your board inside the hilt NOTE: It is imperative that during installation you do not allow the board to come into contact with other metal parts. Doing so can cause irreparable damage to the electronics.
  • Page 15 © 2009 Hyperdyne Labs Power miser mode The processor used on your saber sound board is state of the art and runs internally at over 100MHz. This amount of pure compute power can generate heat inside your hilt. In order to mitigate this, the processor is put into a power miser mode whenever the saber is inactive.
