Suggestions for Emerald Driver Improvements

[Sky Dragon c5]

So after fiddling with my Emerald Saber I now have a few recommendations for improvements.

1. Have the FOC come back to the last color and not the base color, and have the color shift when between each lockup flash.

I have mine in constant pulse mode between 2 base colors, but it feels off every time it's in lockup or abruptly goes back to the one base color when flashing on clash.

2. Have the Pre-Configured Factory colors in the launcher, along with the existing color system.

3. Have a FOC slider like on the sound board so it is more consistent, still alongside the custom values.

4. Have a section that hides the overdrive unless you accept a info pannel, this would help prevent newbies from accidentally over-driving and hurting the saber.

Anyone else have anything to add?

I totally agree with 3 and 4. However, I kind of like how 1 works, since I have mine set up to pulse between red and a brief darker red like it "loses power" for a second, which works beautifully after the FoC. But, I can totally see how awkward it is when pulsing evenly between two primary colors. Also, with 2, (can't remember if it was Deep or Ultra, but one of them) commented on the fact that there are no "factory" settings for colors, each is set individually by the technician based on what he thinks look best.

I also would like to add that it would be great to add a feature that would allow for a customized power on/off (like a similar color arch to make a flicker as it powers on, or off). It may be a little unorthodox or not really viable, but I'd still love to see it

I like the idea of a customised power on as well.

I'd like an option to be able to set a timer for the power on/off, with the LED levels increasing from 0 to the set levels over whatever duration is set.

Set timer to 0 for instantly on, or enter the timing setting you want (as with the pulse/FoC settings).

I'd also like to have an 'auto-duration' tick box alternative, which would match the LED fade in/out cycle to the duration of the power on/off sound used.

The idea for a power off is great! I would love it to do like a pulse fade out.
