Building a CFX Neopixel Lightsaber with Crystal Chamber and Bluetooth - PART 1

Happy May the 4th!!! During quarantine, I took on the fun challenge of building a customized lightsaber with the CFX sound card, a neopixel blade, and a bluetooth module. I learned a lot about how to build it from people in the sabersmithing community who had a passion for sharing their knowledge. I felt it was best that I give back what was given and share how I built my custom lightsaber. ====Links==== Rob Petkau =    / @madcowgenesis   The Custom Saber Shop = https://www.thecustomsabershop.com/ Genesis Custom Sabers = https://genesiscustomsabers.com/ Arms of Ilum on Etsy = https://www.etsy.com/shop/ArmsOfIlum 3d Chassis = https://www.etsy.com/listing/73144630...
