YAXP (Yet Another xLED Post)

[ecko309]

Hi all,

It’s been a ~2.5 weeks since I got a pair of LF xLEDs in each hand, but I can’t get either to light up even a little bit. They feel fully healed (barely even sore to the touch). I tried a bunch of different readers, including a 134.2/125 kHz animal scanner that lights up my tester like the sun. I know they are picky about angle, but laying the xLED tester over my hand in the same orientation works great. I even tried a nfc scanner to be safe lol

I notice in the tester unit I got the led fires forward, in a 180 degree arc. Is it possible the installer put mine upside down and they’re shining into my hand? That seems unlikely for - especially for both - especially especially as he’s done quite a few. Am I just being impatient or is it possible I’m just ignorant to some critical piece of information about these chips?

Appreciate the support!

Typically this is due to blood pooling around the implant and blocking the light. Depending on how you heal, this could take a few days to several weeks to finally clear.

[ecko309]

Phew, at the very least that’s validating I hadn’t totally missed anything obvious. I’ll hang tight another week or two before I start to panic lol
Appreciate!

@ecko309

Just to rule this worry out entirely, (even though Amal resolved your timing worries), the implants will turn inside of you. In the morning it could be facing “up”, and by the time you finish your first cup of coffee it could be facing “down”. But don’t worry, as the glass will refract a decent bit of the light around to the other side(s) anyways.

[ecko309]

That’s funny, it makes perfect sense but I didn’t even think about them rotating. The LED’s seem super capable so I am not surprised that even down it bounces back up! I appreciate you putting my mind at ease on that lol

You’ll start to see it after about two more weeks. From then it’s only going to get brighter. Trust the process

[ecko309]

Sorry to reopen this, but I wanted to check one last time if anyone had any thoughts as to what might be going wrong here. We’re over a month and I still can’t get anything from either light
Even using my Proxmark, I can light up the xLED tester but not the implanted units. Is the xLED tester’s internal identical to the implants or is there something different about them that might change something? I tried to take a video but am not coordinated enough. I promise however I have tried every possible angle and orientation lol That being said, I am still certain it’s a me problem. Any tech other than the Proxmark I should try to gen the field? I know it’s not quite as simple as more voltage == more power but perhaps a device others have had success with without worrying too much about orientation (if that exists)?

If these were HF, I’d suggest one of Hammy’s Field Generators.

Alas, you’ll have to wait a few months/years until @Hamspiced releases an LF version (probably, depending how bad tariffs leave us).

[amal]

With the Proxmark, be sure to use continuous mode so the field stays on;

• If they are LF then use the LF command lf read -@

You should get something like this;

• If they are HF then use the HF command hf 14a reader -@

You should get something like this;

[ecko309]

LF! I came across those shortly after getting them installed and have been kicking myself for not going hf

[ecko309]

Thanks for the tip! Works on the tester, not the implant. Very odd!

Some questions:

• Have you tried this in the dark?
• Who did your installations?
• Are the implants visible through the skin (not illuminated–just visible). Pics?

[ecko309]

• Yes indeed, dark as my soul
• At the risk of not doxxing myself too much (paranoid much?), I will just say one of the “Red Pin” installers in Ontario from the website’s partner search
• On my right hand, yeah. The one on my left hand seems to have been installed signficantly deeper + got turbo punched by Arceus the dog (see below) so it’s not out of the realm of possibility the left one is still healing

[tangerineaxle]

Try the proxmark on the HF side/commands…

[ecko309]

Yes indeed! No change

@ecko309

Sorry to reopen this,

it’s your thread, do as you will.

@ecko309

you are correct to expect to see some light about now, but also, another 2 weeks could well make all the difference.

@ecko309

Is the xLED tester’s internal identical to the implants

Pretty much, with the exception of resin for strength in the xLED.

@ecko309

I am still certain it’s a me problem

Agreed
Its more likely a healing “problem”

or maybe a placement on antenna problem.

the oriention of implant should be something like one of these.

Also try reading at either end, it can make all the difference…
I’ll tell you what I tell my Mrs.
Millimeters matter !

Your xLED looks nice and shallow, but when “reading” with commands above, try pressing firmly into the implant.
Do your best contortion act to be able to see the light because it is easy to cover with the PM3.

To refine your placement even more, try a
lf tune
Place your PM3 on your xLED and look for the lowest Voltage reading you can find.
Take a mental image of this placement, and replicate this the best you can
…
YOU COULD do a
lf read -@
then
lf tune
find best location
DO NOT MOVE
ESC
Hit to bring up previous lf read -@
ENTER
look for Blinky

@ecko309

have been kicking myself for not going hf

There is no right or wrong, if you have an LF reader, it will work as well as an HF one.

The main difference is, most people carry an HF reader with them everyday

@ecko309

Any tech other than the Proxmark I should try to gen the field? I

LF, your main options are
Proxmark
Flipper zero
LF wall reader

A Flipper zero Is a good investment for future implants if you already have a PM3

Plus it is a handy LF Lighty Uppy dohickey

ANYWAY, Im bored of your problem and ready to move on

Ah so I will see the voltage drop as the implant draws power? Nice! The not getting any feedback has been a sticking point for me as a troubleshoot. This should help a bunch!
