    This is the most comprehensive review of the xeno3 i have seen. Great job. Tip; when you do motion controls for switching fonts, they go in one direction, and when you use the button, they go in the other direction.

    • @thefrugaljedi

      That is true. Good if you accidentally go past the soundfont you want. It's even faster with the bluetooth app in either direction.

    I can vouch for this series , my most used one is from this production line.. the hilt has plenty of depth to grip the blade *way better* than most lightsabers out there.. the threads are sufficient and in great finish unlike others I've seen\had\have. I really love those hilts w\ XenoP' V3 core

    It says broken ignition repeatedly because the default config disables a bunch of types like ghost blade, velocity blade, torch blade etc. Broken ignition is actually after all those in the list and it's just telling you the next valid ignition until you get past them all.
    The firmware actually had nothing to do with it. You just got past all the disabled ones.
    Hope they can make it just skip them in one go with new firmware though

    Nice review of this saber and the Xeno3, but you missed a lot of what the Xeno3 and the Xeno configurator app can do.
    As someone has said in a previous comment, the issue with the saber saying broken ignition repeatedly is due to some blade modes being switched off by default, and has nothing to do with firmware updates you applied. Velocity mode, torch mode, ghost mode, and blaster mode are all turned off in the config by default. Once these are turned on they are mentioned instead of the saber saying broken ignition to fill their empty slots at the beginning of the blade style cycle. The firmware update you applied may have updated their status in the config to on which then corrects the issue, or you may simply have cycled far enough through to get to the active blade styles. This issue has been reported to the developers (Nexus and Dark Wolf Sabers) and I understand it will be addressed in future updates.
    When you continue to hold the button past the point the saber goes into deep sleep it will toggle between Pixel and RGB modes so that a pixel saber can be used with the new RGB adapter that Nexus and Dark wolf have released. This adapter allows a pixel saber to use base lit blades if so desired. Deep sleep occurs at 10 seconds of holding the button down (adjustable down to 6 seconds in the app or config file) and the pixel/RGB toggle will occur at 13 seconds of holding the button.
    There are also 4 more blade/light effects which you have not shown or mentioned. They are melt, lightning block, multi block and multi lock. Melt is active by default, but the other three also need to be turned on in the config. You really should try these modes and review them as they are very cool new features of the Xeno3 pixel and really lift the capabilities of the board as much as accent swings do. You can find out how to trigger these new effects by checking out the operating instructions for the Xeno3 on the Dark Wolf Sabers Xeno3 support pages (don't forget that you will need to activate Lightning block, multi block and multi lock in the config before they will work). This is the first place to look for the latest info on Nexus boards and there is usually lots of other info and the latest updates for the Xeno3 to be found on this page, but I think it is currently being updated which may mean new things are coming very soon:darkwolfsabers.com/xeno3-pixel-a-rgb-support
    My understanding is that the music tracks have been removed due to copyright/royalty issues which Nexus (they are no longer called LGT) have encountered previously. It is sad that this had to be done but it's not the end of the world as it is relatively easy to add music tracks if desired and many third party font packages come with them anyway.
    It is also nice to see that Nexus have released functional BlueTooth apps for Android and iOS at the same time, with identical features in both apps, and not some features available in Android but not in iOS.
    You also didn't show that blade length, blade brightness and motion controls can be adjusted in the app.

      Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I'll go over the functions I missed in Part 2 of this Xeno V3 before I delve into the microSD side of the saber.

      @@thefrugaljedi That's great. I missed these new functions too when I did my first look at the Xeno3 a month or so ago, so I posted a separate video on the new blade/light effects 3 weeks or so ago showing the new effects and how to use them because so many reviews are missing them and they really do add some fantastic functionality when you know about them.
      In addition to the effects I mentioned previously there is also a new stab blade effect and the lock up effect is now dynamic rather than the static version that was on the Xenopixel V2. My video shows all this if you would be interested in taking a look:ruclips.net/video/lFdJO9yL8aQ/видео.html

    • @paulsstuff1969
      @paulsstuff1969 Год назад

      @@thefrugaljedi The only thing I can think of to check is that the sound fonts have files named beginmelt (1).wav, melt (1).wav, and endmelt (1).wav as these are the sound files associated with the melt function. If that is all OK I would contact the vendor that you bought the saber from for further information on why this is not working as it should.
      I now have 12 Xeno3 pixel equipped sabers and all work as expected with all features with both the stock fonts they came with and third party fonts I have added. So if the files are all there and correct I don't know why yours would be acting differently.

    How does the LGT neopixel blade compare to the TXQ one? I ask this because i bought Xenopixel3 core to swap into my SNv4 hilt just because I really wanted accent swings. I have been using the TXQ blade that originally came with it. I'm looking at getting another blade but I'm deciding between the TXQ or LGT. The LGT is quite a bit more expensive than the TXQ one. Do you find it justifies the higher price?

    • @thefrugaljedi
      @thefrugaljedi Год назад

      They are both very close to eachother. Slightly different colour temperature between the two. TXQ is a cooler white with a very faint blueish tinge while LGT produces a more pure white. I'll let you decide if it's worth the extra money for LGT or not.

      Xenopixel V3 has better swinging effects while H-pixel has better customization using the Bluetooth app.

    I bought a xeno3 pixel from lgtsaber store recently (150 cad shipped by dhl during a sale with some coupons) it didnt mention that it was v3 so I messaged the seller and they said they could do either so I asked for v3. Oddly my sound board doesn't look the same as pictured/in the video (the sd card is right at the bottom of the board instead of having additional chips below it) so I was worried it was v2, but it connects to the app and has all the features I expected so seems to be v3.
    I got the same style series as you reviewed earlier (the black and copper from punksaber)
    Unfortunately it came with a set of screws and allen keys but they were all much bigger than the screws used to secure the blade. I fortunately had a 1.5mm allen key already but it wasnt a snug fit in the screw so I cant get the blade really secure. The seller is sending me a new set of screws and allen keys but I had to pay 1.50 CAD to authorize the shipment. Hopefully I'll get that soon so I can really get the blade secure.
    Edit:
    I actually bought my from LGT Saber Store which I guess is different from LGTSaber Store. All the lightsabers from LGTSaber store seem to be titled LGTSaber Studio which differentiates itself from the store I got mine from. Probably all the same manufacturer but not sure why they have 3 different stores (along with Damiensaber)

    @bluebomber81 Год назад

    I was almost ready to buy one but gonna hold off until the effects are working. Not the happiest with my first LGT purchase, but still interested in their stuff. It's just hard cause they're still using the same shells for the electronics that really broke easily in my xeno 2. But I do like they have these for RGB baselits with the improved sound and those cores seem more like the typical ones.
    I'm one of those assholes too who doesn't like being a bother about things, but I'm gonna have to ask if they can do me at least a mid discount on a new core cause it was kinda dumb how quick and easy this broke. In two places. I epoxied it the first time and it was almost good as new until it split right at the battery and there was no way epoxy was gonna hold it against the stress it's under with the battery in. Didn't even tell them it broke yet, I just hate doing all that, lol.
    Do want to give them another chance. I also drop a lot less. But they're gonna be cool for how many people use these, I just think it's spinning and how that lends to drops right on the pommel. So, now I have one done up in felt and hockey tape to see if the cushion helps these things last.
    IMO, I kinda think we're in a bit of a race here for the budget holy grail. If TXQ gets accent swings going, they have it. If LGT gets their custom blade effects going, they have it. I know TXQ is at least working on an app update that has a whole different look. Wouldn't mind if an update on that dropped while my SNV4 staff is being shipped. 🤫

      Xeno V3 can do accent swings which gives it an edge in regards to swinging it. You can't create effects yet but that feature is in development.
      And don't forget sn-pixel v4 from TXQ. It's almost identical to h-pixel.
      From a price point, H-pixel costs the least, then sn-pixel v4 then XENO.
