Thank you for the feedback! I should probably work on that... I agree that it's confusing.

Agreed on this, played around dragging things around for a couple minutes and still couldn't get it to do anything.

Maybe pre-configure some default settings so it works immediately upon load. Or perhaps a short video showing its use.

I would recommend setting defaults (probably first three rotors set at the beginning) and possibly not have the locking mechanism in place?
