Pixel String Wiring - Naigon's Electronic Creations Spark 3 R2 Setup Manual

Figure 10 - Wiring with the XDrive for the X-Saber feature. If TriCrees are used then 3 reisstors/STTH2L06's would be needed for the red die.
For this wiring, the config will need to be setup just like for the single-color side blades. See 4.8 CROSS-SABER
WIRING on how to do that. Note that C4COLOR will determine if the side blades are on/off, but C1COLOR,
C2COLOR, and C3COLOR set the actual colors for both the main and side blades.

4.10. PIXEL STRING WIRING

Spark 3™ fully supports Pixel string blades, aka WS2812B, out of the box! All that is needed is a separate SD card
with the string blade /dat and /appNN files. These strings are not only super bright, but they also support
Extension and Retraction Flow, allowing for super-realistic growing and shrinking blades, and Impact Blast™, the
ability to replicate bolts hitting the blade in defined spots.
The Pixel strings are quite easy to work with as there are only 3 wires coming out of each strip. When using the
5mm LEDs, these 3 wires are exactly what will be needed. When using the 144 led/meter strips, the two
connections will need to be run in parallel for each strip to light in the same way as the others.
This connector being used is the flat one from TCSS which uses POGO pins.
NeoPixel blades can be built from the 144 led/meter strips:
