Can I update my existing module to support slats?

You can upgrade your 18M by installing an 18M Slat Connector, which leaves all 18 cues on the 18M available for use; however, cues 13-18 are replaced with small mini-connectors.

For the 36M and 72M, there are several options for upgrading as some Quick Plug, and Onboard Cue options also have support for slats.
