Title: Lockup color change without Flash on Clash?
Post by: HelloThere on February 07, 2018, 09:56:15 PM
Is it possible to set a different color for lockup without changing the color for flash on clash? For example, if I wanted to have the blade flash between red and orange during lockup, but stay red with no color change when there is a clash. If there is already a forum post on this, please direct me towards it as I could not find it.

With the Diamond board, it might be. I can't say as I don't have one to test with.
Looks like the FOC and lockup are the same color otherwise

With a Diamond board, I can confirm it is possible.  The lockup can act as a fully programmable 'second idle' that overrides any swings, spins, clashes, etc. So basically if you use the lockup as a second idle, you can't trigger anything else until you turn it off and let the board go back to the primary idle.

For the older boards, I don't think the boards are configured for that kind of operation. FoC is pretty much hardwired from what I can tell.

I figured it out! I have an Emerald LED driver with an Obsidian V4 soundboard. From the main menu of the Obsidian V4 soundboard when it is plugged into the computer, you can uncheck "Enable Flash on Clash light effects" or "Enable Lockup light effects". Make sure to write to board to save your changes and done! :D You have to be plugged in directly to the soundboard to do this and you can not have different colors for each. However, if you prefer FoC off while keeping the lockup effect, or the opposite/both off, it can be done!
