<![CDATA[Create new unit from existing unit?]]>How would I go about creating a new unit from an existing one?

I would like a new unit that is similar to the RGB unit. The new unit will be an RGBW unit, and allow different color orders. Where is the RGB unit code and how would I go about making a copy, changing the copy, and have the new unit appear in UIFlow?

If you wanted visuals blocks then you would also need to code the new blocks using the custom blocks manager.

AFAIK UIFlow source code is not available as open source, so I am afraid you'll need to start from scratch.

Thanks
Felix
