I have a few questions about led configurations using Mala. I have, in fact, searched here and the Mala wiki but I am having trouble distilling information out of such a varied set of input data. Any help is appreciated.
What I want is to illuminate controls used by a game when the game is launched (possibly at select time in mala but at launch time is sufficient for me). No attract mode needed, no color changes needed, etc.
I believe that there are at least 3 different hardware options I can use to drive the led's. Led-wiz from GGG, PacDrive from ultimarc and "Mala hardware"? My undestanding is pacdrive will support 16 leds at a constant intensity, led-wiz supports 32 unique outputs and variable intensity. Both appear to be fine for my needs would be my guess? With led-wiz having more future expandability at a higher cost?
It looks like pacdrive is natively supported by Mala and there is an led-wiz plugin at malafe.net...so again I assume either would do what I want?
I see many folks using ledblinky...but I'm not really able to determine what it does that isn't already accounted for with plugins? It can do voice description of controls, which I do not need (but is pretty cool heh). I am guessing that for my needs, I do not need ledblinky, is this accurate?
Any help clarifying the various options out there is appreciated!
