Tron Identity Disc Interactive Prop

---

A fully functional Tron Identity Disc built using a Proffieboard v2.2 and inspired by the weapon from Tron: Legacy. Features real-time motion-reactive lighting, synchronized sound effects, and a total of 15 customizable profiles.

This project was a personal passion project blending my love for themed entertainment, prop-making, and embedded systems.

Features

• Proffieboard v2.2 with fully custom configuration
• Four separate LED segments using high-density WS2812B NeoPixels (720+ LEDs total)
• Dual speakers for stereo sound output
• Motion sensing with clash, swing, and blaster deflection detection
• Interactive lighting using custom blade styles
• 3D printed housing with detailed paintwork and weathering
• Configurable via ProffieOS and config.h

Profiles

Switch between 15 unique sound/LED profiles with themed tracks and FX:

1. Flynn – The Son of Flynn
2. CLU – Clu Song from Soundtrack
3. Rinzler – Rinzler’s Pursuit
4. Rectify – Recognizer / Control
5. Games – Disc Wars Arena
6. Electrify – Derezzed (Daft Punk)
7. Maggie – Custom profile for friend
8. Irish – Victory March
9. Cyber – Fall
10. Masterless – Encom II
11. Magnetic – Nocturne
12. Decay – Flynn Lives
13. Dark – Mandalorian (Bonus FX)
14. Kylo – Dual if the Fates FX Saber
15. Rave – OIIA (Disco Blade Mode)

Each profile includes:

• Ignition / Retraction
• Clash, Lockup, and Blaster effects
• Background hum and looping music
• Custom LED animations synced with audio

Build Process

3D Print & Paint

• Designed in Fusion 360
• Printed with PLA
• Sanded, base coated, then layered with gloss acrylics and weathering techniques

Electronics Assembly

• Wired all LED strips and speakers to the Proffieboard
• Installed kill switch and recharge port
• Routed wires through the disc frame and secured with heat shrink

Software

• Configured 15 preset profiles in config.h
• Uploaded using ProffieOS + Arduino IDE
• Customized blade styles and sound effects for each track

Testing

• Validated sensitivity of swing and clash detection
• Synced audio and LED effects
• Performed endurance and runtime checks
