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.
