Example 4 : inserting an accessory with a short (0 ohm) forces the selection of a particularly font,
otherwise the regular menu-selected font is used.

Even if the tangible font selection system is used (if the file is there and populated with non-neutral
slots), the access to a specific font remains possible via the menu, so you can still demonstrate /
play with your 12 fonts.
Tangible actions (feat. Blade detection)
We extended the font selection with blade detection actions that will produce additional
interaction with the saber, like detecting the insertion or removal of the blade. Instead of a font
number, the slot can be populated with one of those:
Lowercase 'x': will prevent the saber ignition
Upper case 'X': will prevent the saber ignition and will trigger a blade retraction if the blade
is removed while the saber is on
Lowercase 'o': indicates the blade is inserted and saber is ok to be ignited
Uppercase 'O': will play blade insertion UI files only if previously in another state. Avoids
tangible voltage glitching during (ledstrip) ramping and high battery load
Lowercase 'r': indicates blade removal with sound and BMP but will not prevent the saber
use
Uppercase 'L': indicates to recall the latest selected font (from the menu). Allows for
selecting a particular font when removing an accessory (like Crystalline Workshop for
tuning your lightsaber) then coming back to the previously used font, instead of a
specifically named font. The accessory is then used a font selection override.
Those action are rather targeted to pixel type blades based on the connectivity between the hilt
and the blade. Still, a HB LED type of blade insertion can be detected too using a limit switch in
the emitter section.
