    Thanks FJK. But yeah, obviously the flicker is only able to dim or flash the LED Off during a clash, which is pretty much the opposite of FOC... which happens to be what he wants I guess, so it works out lol!

    You're thinking of the shimmer effect (which works on FoC). Flicker is for the regular blade effects.

    Yes, sorry, got my terms all mixed around:
    fdrive, flks, and flkd control the standard blade Flickering (whenever the blade is powered on).
    shmrd, shmrp, and shmrr control the blade Shimmer (whenever a clash is triggered).
    focd, focp, and focr control the FOC effect (if you have it wired up for FOC, and a clash is triggered).

    So I guess what I meant to say then as far as the Shimmer went, is that in practice it is more or less the opposite of FOC:
    Shimmer dims the light and brightens the light back to normal levels in rapid succession, to create a clash effect.
    FOC brightens the light (via a separate LED wired for that) and then dims the light back to normal levels in rapid succession, to create a clash effect.
