[Mini] Adds custom LED flashes to view speed (to be configured in the settings). 1 red flash for each 10. 1 green flash for each 1. In user-defined speed unit. Example: 36kn equals 3 red flashes and 6 green flashes. A constant value can be substracted from the speed to reduce the amount of red flashes. If you are only interested in your speeds above 30kn, you can substract 30 thus 36kn now equals 6 green flashes only. And 42kn would now equal 1 red flash and 2 green flashes.
