03 · General configuration

General Configuration

Control pack state behavior, fading, and optional continuous-fire protection.

Enable fadingAdd a decay tail to the selected Chase/Fill, Chase, or Trail effect.Fade duration

100ms1s2s3s

Selected: 1.0s · applies when fading is enabled on both LED outputs. Default: 1.0s.Enable fading to adjust this duration.Enable Overheating ModeAfter the selected uninterrupted firing delay, hold the Cyclotron solid red for the overheat alarm, fade it during venting, then reboot the pack.Overheat delay

10s15s20s25s30s

Selected: 30.0s of uninterrupted firing.Enable Overheating Mode to adjust this delay.

LED run modeApplies to both Cyclotron and Powercell sequences. Choose whether they begin when ProtonPal boots or wait for Activate on GPIO7.

LEDs run at startupLEDs run after Activate

Shut down→Booting→Idle→Firing→Firing stopped→Idle

A fresh Fire press can interrupt Firing stopped and resume Firing. Activate-on can interrupt Shutting down and restart Booting. Overheating branches from Firing through Overheating and Venting, then returns to Booting.

04 · Dance Mode

Dance Mode

When Music Mode is active, synchronize the Powercell and Cyclotron to the decoded music.
