01 / COMMUNITY

Saber-builders helping saber-builders.

KyberStation is a small hobby project and a first public release. The best way to help right now is to try it, break it, and tell us what broke.

02 / WAYS IN

How you can help right now.

W.01

Report a bug

Something render wrong? A ProffieOS export not compile? The WebUSB flow misbehave on your board? File an issue with the bug template — reproduction steps help more than anything.

  • Use the bug-report template
  • Include browser + OS + board revision
  • Attach the Kyber Glyph URL if you can
W.02

Request a feature or preset

Missing a blade style from a film, show, or game? Wish the editor surfaced something differently? Feature requests and preset requests both live in the same issue tracker.

  • Use the feature-request template
  • Reference screen-capture or concept art if you have it
  • A rough config is fine — we can refine on review
W.03

Share your saber

Every saber in the editor compresses down to a short Kyber Glyph URL. Drop it in a Reddit thread, a Discord channel, or a DM — the other person opens /editor?s=… and sees exactly what you built, offline.

  • Round-trips every field of the config
  • No server, no account, no telemetry
  • Also renders as a scannable QR on the Kyber Crystal
03 / SOURCE + CONTRIBUTIONS

Contribution policy.

The source is MIT-licensed and lives on GitHub. Issues and feature requests are open — anyone can file one, and the tracker is where the honest feedback loop happens.

Outside pull requests are not accepted yet. This is the author’s first public programming project and first GitHub project, and the contribution flow is still being worked out — a healthy one means clear review criteria, good tests, and a CI gate that catches mistakes before they land. We’d rather get that right than rush it.

The policy gets revisited 30 days after public launch. Until then, the most useful thing anyone can do is report bugs, request features, and share what they’ve built. Every reproducible issue filed shortens the gap between “first release” and “ready for outside code contributions.”

04 / ROADMAP

What’s coming (planned, not shipped).

v0.17.0

Web Bluetooth wireless updates

Flash a Proffieboard from the browser without a USB cable. Research doc lives in the repo at docs/research/BLUETOOTH_FEASIBILITY.md. iOS is hard-blocked by Apple WebKit policy; Chromium-family browsers on desktop and Android only. Planned — not shipped.

Planned — subject to change

v0.17.0

Modulation v1.1 full feature set

Beyond v1.1 Core: full peggy parser surface, all 11 modulators with plates, true drag-to-route polish, hover wire highlighting refinements. Currently 5 modulators have plates active in the UI. Planned — not shipped.

Planned — subject to change

v0.18.0+

Modulation v1.2 Creative

Modulator chains, macros, an LFO shape library, conditionals, snapshots and scenes, sidechain, probability and random, blade-level user-defined functions, response curves. The expressive layer on top of the v1.1 Core foundation. Planned — not shipped.

Planned — subject to change

These are tracked in the project’s repo as planned sprints, not commitments. A hobby project ships when it ships. The roadmap exists so you know the direction of travel, not the arrival time.

05 / STANDING ON SHOULDERS

Recognition.

KyberStation exists because other people did a decade of work first. It is fan-made aggregate tooling built on top of firmware, hardware, prop conventions, and a community that makes Neopixel sabers possible in the first place. It is not a replacement for any of the projects below.

ProffieOS
The GPL-3.0 firmware that every saber generated by this tool ultimately runs. KyberStation emits ProffieOS-compatible C++ and treats its template grammar as the source of truth. Reference material from the project ships alongside the app as an aggregate work.
Proffieboard
The hardware platform this whole ecosystem is built around. The community that documents, sells, solders, and troubleshoots these boards did the hard work of making Neopixel sabers a thing ordinary hobbyists can actually build.
Fett263 prop file
The widely-used button and gesture convention KyberStation targets by default. The five-prop-file picker in the editor sits on top of work that others did to make saber controls legible.
The Neopixel saber community
Reddit threads, YouTube tutorials, Discord help channels, forum posts going back years. This project is a UI layer sitting on top of a mountain of collective knowledge. KyberStation is fan-made aggregate tooling — not a replacement for any of it.
