@torn moon How are you changing the color? Are you doing it via the "recolor" tool? Or are you changing the number for the "color" pin on the light? If you are just doing "recolor" then I think it will change back to the default color, but if you change the color pin with the makerpen (configure, then click on the "color" tab on the stage light which I think is the pink one) and change the number to be the same number as the color you want. I forget which color blue is, but I usually just type in 1, and then hit the + arrow to go to the next number and you can see the colors changing on the light. And then when you save it with the appropriate number for the blue color, then it should stay that color when you reenter the room ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

Ahh ok... well I think there are only 61 colors, so the number 100 might confuse it and so it just goes back to the default color... just looking on Google, it seems like some of the different blues are numbers 4,5, and 25. I think there are other blues, but I don't know their numbers. Try changing the color pin with one of these numbers and see if that works โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

@torn moon I found all the colors and their numbers... hope this helps! โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜ƒ

@torn moon Also... if you want to have the lights changing colors randomly... here is how you would wire it ๐Ÿ˜ƒ๐Ÿ‘

"Timer" Chip (v1) --> "Random" Chip (v1)

Timer Chip: The top number is 1 (to turn it on) and the green number is time (how long you want the color to stay) and 1 = .1 seconds, so I have 50 for 5 seconds.

Random Chip: connect the output of timer Chip to input of Random Chip. The green and blue pins are basically saying, "pick a number between these two randomly. So Green is the minimum number to pick, I set the green to 0, and the blue is the maximum number +1 (because it won't pick the actual number that you set here. So if you want it pick randomly pick a number between 1-10, then you would set green to 1, and blue to 11.

Then set the output pin of the Random Chip to the pink pin on the stage light (or light bulbs if you use those. You can have this set up multiple times and connect the output of the Random Chip to both a stage light and light bulbs and they will all turn to the same colors. And if you have this timer/Random Chip setup 2 or 3 times wired to different stage lights/light bulbs, then you can create multi-color light shows. I did it this way for the spot lights in my room Firefall Parkour (as well as wired it to the pink pins on the text chips to change the sign colors in the same way)

Lots of information โœŒ๏ธ๐Ÿ˜… but it's really fun to know for fun lighting in rooms
