    Development with the next firmware

    For my use case, it will be worth the extra CPU. With gapless switching, if needed, I can take 1 preset, and spread across 2 or more presets and instantly change between the two. Leon Todd did a cool video over this.

    +1 If possible, it would be nice to change ring colors based on the control switch state. For instance, if I assign a control switch as a latching hold switch, an LED color change would be a nice visual to see if active or inactive. This could also be added as a feature in the FC controllers.
