TinySaber (Discontinued)
DESCRIPTION
Defend the galaxy with the new TinySaber! Built around the ATtiny841 microcontroller this product features sixteen vibrant SK6812mini RGB LEDs, capacitive touch sensors, an accelerometer and a micro-USB port for battery charging and device programming. You can use the touch sensors to turn the device on and off, change color patterns, and even display Persistence-Of-Vision (POV) text! A double tap can change the base color of the TInySaber to red, green, or blue.
The ATtiny841 is reprogrammable so you'll be able to customize your TinySaber experience with some basic coding knowledge. You can display your own POV text or make custom color patterns.

Customer Reviews
This is probably the only pocket-sized lightsaber that actually functions like all the larger neopixel sabers you can purchase and it’s only a fraction of the price. Incredibly fun product!
This is very cool! Kids love it, as do adults. And it is a great flashlight too. The POV is fun and I’m gonna try to reprogram it. I can’t code so this should be interesting!
Any Star Wars fan will love this little toy and it also is quite useful as a flashlight!
My little girls bought this for me. We built it together and learned about the different modes and sensors and stuff and it was a freaking amazing experience. I'm trying to figure out how to reprogram the "Tiny Saber" message to say something different.
I NEED HELP TRYING to work this thing because I lost the instructions of how to use it someone please help.

OGGETTO TECNOLOGICAMENTE STUPEFACENTE CAMBIO COLORE CON UN TOCCO E VARIE FUNZIONI ANCHE CON SCRITTE IN MOVIMENTO (PER QUELLI BRAVI RIPROGRAMAMBILE)
BELLO IL FATTO DI MONTARLO DA SOLO
CONSIGLIATO
Works as described. Together in 5 minutes using great web guide. Seems to be hackable too!
Awesome little unit! Easy to assemble without instructions. The only trouble I've noted is that the unit turns itself on while charging (don't know why?). Otherwise it works great; really bright lights.
I am STILL waiting for MORE!
I ordered 4 of those sabers, and TWO of the newest tinier TVs, too!
STILL WAITING...
...and your Customer Support said the TTV would be shipped over 7 days ago!
I emailed you guys about that and requested that the two tinier TVs do not need the 3D enclosures you said were holding up the order. JUST the 2 working TTV hardware devices. The TINER TV is going into my Star Trek Enterprise model and this will be a SHOW STOPPER once installed. You can see an EARLY preview at YouTuber @ TrekModelBuilder
Otherwise, the Saber is great. BUT I WANT MY WHOLE ORDER!
