Service Mode

MPF has a build in service mode which can be extended using settings (or in code). Usually you map your service switches and door switches to control service mode. Additionally, you might want to add keys of your keyboard during development.
This is an example:
# include service mode in your modes list
modes:
- service
# add tags to your switches
switches:
s_door_open:
number: 1
tags: service_door_open, power_off
s_service_enter:
number: 17
tags: service_enter
s_service_esc:
number: 18
tags: service_esc
s_service_up:
number: 19
tags: service_up
s_service_down:
number: 20
tags: service_down
