Programming Instructions --> DIGIMON LIGHT MOD: Programming IC
This Code has parameters that are easily modified to customize a build. Example of this below
/////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Defaults that could be changed before Programming IC as prefered
//These will be the preset everytime the Digimon screen comes on
int RedState = 1;      // Sketch Default is 1, set for Red Sound FX. Used to Set differnt Sound Operation. 0 ignore sound signal, 1 is red signal for buzzer (Default), 2 is just flash for buzzer
int LEDState = 0;      // Sketch Default is 0, set the default Backlight function for when the Digimon Screen turns on. Used to set different brightness on/off setting. 0 for OFF (Default) and 1 - 5 for BackLight
