Davey stumblor I'm obviously excited about the saucer aspect of this kit but I'm at least as excited about the backbox heat ray animation. Will this work in both attract mode and while playing?

This has probably already been thought through, but on these modern Sterns, there's an option to set a backbox LED level while in-game vs while in attract. For glare reasons, I keep mine set at 20% for in-game use and 100% on attract. You'd probably need a sensor or something to trigger on but it might be cool to be able to configure an Attract vs. an in-game brightness on the heat ray?

Stoked for this mod in any case, just wanted to ask!

Quoted from stumblor:

Not currently, due to the backbox lights needed to be triggered by a switch hit. Could possibly add something with a future code update, that if they haven't been triggered in > 5 minutes, then trigger every minute or something. Anything more sophisticated isn't possible at the moment due to the Lollypops not really being aware of game state.
I've also dialled my BB brightness way down. This is another important factor when getting the look of the backbox breath right, since the LED strip and bracket will create a shadow due to being reverse lit from the MPU lights. I've gone to great lengths to reduce the impact of this shadow as much as possible, but at the end of the day, the LED strip is not invisible, so will always create some shadow. Fortunately, it's now almost 100% along the length of the breath itself (and only some small artifacts elsewhere, due to the bracket ladder). Keeping the backbox LED level down certainly helps in that regard.

Thanks for the reply and insight, Davey. Looking forward to it in any case!
