 ###### DIP1 (General Purpose)
 
 DIP1 could serve many purposes. Currently it is configured to enable the debug mode.
 When debug mode is enabled and the module goes to sleep, it will not turn the LEDs off to save power.
 Instead it will display the reason why it went to sleep. This is useful for debugging module and host system behavior.
+Debug mode will start up to a fully lit matrix and never goes to sleep based on a timeout.
 
 Sleep Reasons can be:
 
 - `SLEEP#` pin: `SLP#`
 - USB Suspend: `USB`
 - Command: `CMD`
-- Idle timer: `TIME`
