Gilthoniel (Sindarin: Starkindler)
Gilthoniel is a basic saber manager program for the Polaris Evo Light Saber, by Lama di Luce.

Other manager programs are under development/available.

Gilthoniel is now public open-source and availale on GitHub. Any feedback can be added in GitHub's discussions board and issues tracker for the project.

Gilthoniel requires a version of the firmware greater than 1.9.14, very early versions of Anima Evo sabers shipped without any PC-communication, update your firmware to use any saber manager program. (See the updater opposite)

NOTE! The automatic nature of the flasher program detects any compatible arduino board, which may also exist in other hardware. In particular it has been reported that the "Oculus Rift S" may be detected and it's firmware overwritten by the flasher rendering it inoperable. Be advised to unplug other USB devices when using the flasher. -- This is not a risk when just using the standard colour setting functions in Gilthoniel.

Firmware Updater
Stand-alone updater for the saber firmware.

NOTE! The automatic nature of the flasher program detects any compatible arduino board, which may also exist in other hardware. In particular it has been reported that the "Oculus Rift S" may be detected and it's firmware overwritten by the flasher rendering it inoperable. Be advised to unplug other USB devices when using the flasher.

Use of the firmware flash/updater is entirely at your own risk.

Polaris EVO User Guide for details.

MAC OS - Connect your saber, Open the DMG, and then run the 'upload-macos.command' inside the DMG folder (you do not need to extract/copy the files).

Sound Upload Toolkit
The "Sound Upload Toolkit" provides command line utilties to convert sounds ready to upload to an Evo-Anima Saber, and utilities to transfer these sound files to the saber.

Send-to-Saber and the Open-SaberSound-Toolkit are now public open-source and availale on GitHub. Any feedback can be added in GitHub's discussions board and issues tracker for the project.

Download the Self-Extracing executable (or 7zip Archive), save it to your documents folder (or file location of your choice) and run it (or unzip it) -- then see the README.md instructions.

    Features
  • Command Line Based Tools & Batch commands
  • Erase all sounds on the saber
  • Batch upload a complete sound font
  • Manage active sound lists, upload sound files with any filename

The release 8 toolkit (for firmware before v2) does not include sound list management, as the firmware requires all sounds to have exact filenames.
