Therefore I will stick with the MPU, I'm very satisfied with its performance when it comes to clash and swing detection.
Since you have it as an part of the DIYino Prime, I think it is a great choice, because it gives a user more choices, because one does not have to stick just to lightsabers. You can do a lot of other interesting things with that board.
I just read the manual, and I must pay you greatest compliments on that! There is just one thing that I'd like to suggest, if you don't mind: regarding the simple MOSFET drivers, I would prefer to have a constant-current driver like the one described here (the second one on the page). It requires (per driver) an extra NPN transistor, a resistor, and leads for an external resistor that controls the max current, but it is more efficient than the simple MOSFET switch.

The power saving options will be back soon, I did not yet publish it, but I already built in a DIYino Prime v1.5 ...... WIth the DIYino v1.5 it changed.
I am looking forward to seeing the performance of the lastest version!
