A word about LEDBlinky…

This seems a little lame to me considering the amount of time and effort that was put into the drivers and SDK for the LEDWiz.   LEDBlinky wouldn't exist without the FREE contributions of other members.   You're essentially make money off other peoples work.   While the driver for the LEDWiz is not terribly complex,  hundreds of hours went into the debugging and devising workarounds for Nvidia USB chipset issues that made the LEDWiz flakey at best on those chipsets.

LEDBlinky is a cool product but relies on the free work that has been done by others.   Just my two cents.

The function library for the LEDWiz was created by MikeQ for GGG. Mike is no longer active on these forums and I was unable to contact him. Regardless, I believe the LEDWiz driver code is now owned by GGG and as I said above, the software and hardware are mutually beneficial to each other. The function libraries for the PacDrive, MAME Outputs, and UltraStik were created by headkaze (www.headsoft.com.au) and are distributed with his permission. Licensing for other libraries was purchased - so basically I'm in the red at this point.

That's reason enough that this community should support you.
