A word about LEDBlinky…
(1/21) > >>
arzoo:
After much deliberation I have decided to move LEDBlinky to a Trial Software / Shareware distribution model. The core software remains fully functional but the trial version will display an audio/visual splash screen when first starting.

LEDBlinky is unusual in that the application is useless without first purchasing LED Controller Hardware. And to some extent, the hardware is less useful without the software. I’m not saying that LEDBlinky is the only software option available for use with the GroovyGameGear or Ultimarc hardware, but for better or worse, it has become very popular. So in reality, the LEDBlinky software may be helping to sell the LED hardware. And for the most part I’ve been fine with this arrangement; after all, the relationship between my software and the hardware has been an evolutionary tale.

Which brings us to 2010; recently I’ve been contacted by three different hardware vendors asking if I would add support to LEDBlinky for their future products. This is not a trivial undertaking and will require considerable development time and future support. I considered a number of options and as I said above, after much deliberation, decided that the shareware model was the best solution.

That’s my story.

Thanks,

Oh, and for those of you who have donated to LEDBlinky in the past, I’ll send you each a registered version of the app.

I'm sure it's not a decision you came to lightly, so I wish you the best of luck on this new direction. LEDBlinky is an excellent piece of software and maybe this will be an incentive to make it even better.
Beretta:
never used LED blinky does it support using the parallel port?
all the examples of led blinky being used that i've come across is for ledwiz.
Hoopz:
I think based on the work that you put into this, that it's the best decision for you.  I hope everyone in this community will support you for it.   :applaud:
