πŸ” What is a Switchback Frame?

In the ZLED Bit Editor app, the Switchback Frame allows you to temporarily mask or disable specific bits (channels) used in lower-priority functions, giving higher-priority functions full control over those bits without interference.

Each tab in the app represents a lighting function and is assigned a priority level:

  • Tab 1 = Lowest Priority (e.g., Running Lights)

  • Tab 5 = Highest Priority (e.g., Strobes or Showcases)

Here’s how it works:

  • Let’s say Tab 1 uses Bits 1–10 for a running light animation.

  • Tab 2 also wants to use Bits 5–10 for a different brake sequence.

  • Without switchback masking, both animations would overlap and conflict.

By selecting Bits 5–10 in the Switchback Frame of Tab 2, you temporarily block those bits from being activated by Tab 1 whenever Tab 2 is active. This ensures that each function can play out cleanly with no overlap or interference.

πŸ› οΈ Tip: Use switchback masking anytime you need clean separation between overlapping bit channels across functions.
