throttle is in the middle position the color is unaffected, thus it can be mixed with orientation colors to indicate orientation and throttle at
the same time.
#### Thrust ring state
This mode is allows you to use a 12, 16 or 24 leds ring (e.g. NeoPixel ring) for an afterburner effect. When armed the leds use the following sequences: 2 On, 4 Off, 2 On, 4 Off, and so on. The light pattern rotates clockwise as throttle increases.
A better effect is acheived when LEDs configured for thrust ring have no other functions.
LED direction and X/Y positions are irrelevant for thrust ring LED state. The order of the LEDs that have the state determines how the LED behaves.
Each LED of the ring can be a different color. The color can be selected between the 15 colors availables.
For example, led 0 is set as a `R`ing thrust state led in color 13 as follow.
```
led 0 2,2::R:13
```
LED strips and rings can be combined.
## Positioning
Cut the strip into sections as per diagrams below. When the strips are cut ensure you reconnect each output to each input with cable where the break is made.
