🧪 What does the “Switchback Frame” setting do?

The Switchback Frame is a feature used to prioritize lighting behavior between overlapping functions like running lights, signals, or strobes.


đź”§ How it Works:

Each function tab (1–5) in the ZLED Bit Editor is assigned a priority:

  • Tab 1 has the lowest priority

  • Tab 5 has the highest priority

When two tabs use the same output bits, the higher-priority tab can temporarily override the lower one using the Switchback Frame setting.

For example:

  • If Tab 1 uses bits 1–10 for running lights

  • And Tab 2 (turn signal) also uses bits 5–10

  • You can enable bits 5–10 in the Switchback Frame of Tab 2

💡 Result: When Tab 2 is active, it masks bits 5–10 from Tab 1 temporarily — ensuring that the signal animation cleanly overrides the running lights.


🛑 Important:
Switchback only masks the selected bits temporarily. When the higher-priority function finishes, control returns to the lower-priority tab automatically.
