Comment on Undo codes for Japanese elevator floor buttons

Comments

Elevators are ridiculously configurable. I know there are the famous talks on firefighter mode etc., but is there any in-depth presentation, manual explaining the configuration options, or other documentation for all the ways an elevator can be set up?

For example, I suspect all of these cheat codes can be enabled or disabled based on wishes by the building owner, and aside from parameters like how long the door stays open, the dispatching strategies can be configured too. Seeing the options and the thoughts that go into choosing a configuration would be super interesting.

“From the Pit to the Penthouse” gives a lot of insight. All from a hacker perspective, but fascinating and fun.

Yes, that's a great talk but unfortunately just a different edition of the one I meant.
