2-Color-LED-Control (LAB-2c)

[AlexanderEhle]

To make it easy for Trains, perhaps there could be a special "combined" Effect.
The motor direction "forward" and "reverse" can be connected with the
channels. Channel 1 and 3, 2 and 4, 5 and 7, 6 and 8 are internally connected
and driven at the same time from the Effect. So you can combine the Motor
"forward" with "1/3" or "5/7" group, and the reverse with "2/4" or "6/8" group.

Front 1 of Locomotive:
Channel 1 is connected to the white part of the dual-color LED (forward)
Channel 2 is connected to the red part of the dual-color LED (reverse)

Front 2 of Locomotive
Channel 3 is connected to the white part of the dual-color LED (reverse)
Channel 4 is connected to the red part of the dual-color LED (forward)

Front 1 of Locomotive:
Channel 5 is connected to the white part of the dual-color LED (forward)
Channel 6 is connected to the red part of the dual-color LED (reverse)

Front 2 of Locomotive
Channel 7 is connected to the white part of the dual-color LED (reverse)
Channel 8 is connected to the red part of the dual-color LED (forward)

In a way, this behaviour already exists in two ways:

1. You can set the "DIR OPTIONS" for a light channel to activate when a motor channel is in a specified direction
2. You can use the "Status Indicator" light effect to show if the motor channel is forward or reverse.
   I guess it our fault for not developing enough documentation to explain how these behaviours can be configured! These types of configuration are good for Startup actions since they preconfigure everything immediately every time you turn on the brick. In a way, the startup actions are almost like a "script" with up to 8 different "commands"!

If I have the LAB2c in my hands, I will build it up for the book and show how to do it for the readers.
