Arguably this isn't a bug, the idea was to always use addressable LEDs. Michael has a new version on the way that will be usable for both the single lens cyclotron and the barrel, allowing us to use colors for the effect. I thought I had left the W-LED port active but there may have been a timer removed that manages that. It's not a high priority and the device is not officially a kit, so behaviors are neither set in stone nor guaranteed.

You did leave it active; but your firing uses a lot of the semi-automatic code. In the semi-automatic firing modes, the barrel tip LED only illuminates when the pulse finishes traveling up the barrel. But in this case, there is no barrel, so the code controlling the BARREL LED port needs to be modified to flash throughout the pulse sequence rather than only flashing once at the very end.
