Light Buttons with LED Hardware/Software - COMING SOON!!!
<< < (5/16) > >>
NIVO:
Now to find a manufacturer of translucent microswitch buttons. And if the price is high, perhaps go in on a group buy of some sort. With fellow BYOAC'ers in your region/state, would help for the distribution/collection/shipping etc etc.
Zakk:
Hey, I'm sure there's no shortage of beta testers, but I'd be willing to do a project with them, and feature it as one of my conversions...

I just love things that light up :)
mr.Curmudgeon:
This is DEFINITELY something I would buy.

Suggestions I hope you implement:
Sound sensitive mode
Programmable Sequences
Joystick LED's

My suggestion:

I second (or third) the idea that joystick LED's would be a GREAT addition, however, I'd like some flexibility concerning how I could use this feature, since each control panel will vary in it's design (artwork, etc) so the lighting may need to vary.  This could be as simple as allowing a couple screw terminal positions to control a 4LED/8LED bank based on the required joystick. I think Lil'Wolf is asking for the same thing, but I'm not sure. Various effects would be cool as well (fading effects, fast blinks, fade/pulse,etc..)

A user assigned set of led banks would be cool as well, I have no idea what it could be used for, but that's the joy...extended design capability.

I'm no electrical engineer, so I have no idea how easy or practical this flexibility would be. Just blue-skyin'.

Thanks for working on this project!

You can get them from Censible Amusements.

 id like to see this go a bit further with lighting support for games that output lights.  

 Discs of Tron used 2 sets of flashing lights above head, the internal artwork lighting turned off durring the title showing, and i think a few other lights could flash.

 Simularly, there were a bunch of other cabs that had light output controllers... like spyhunter - lighting the appropriate 'weapon' from under the artwork...

  Im  sure that a dev could work with you to help in getting that functionality to work with a device.

  Finally, a motor & cylenoid driver would also be usefull too.  For use in making replicas of mechanical games like pitch & bat's, pinballs, ice cold beer, ect... and even some video games - Force feedback, ticket output, ect.

 id buy a sitdown Outrun motor type interface kit in a heartbeat.  Id love to make a moving cockpit.  id buy a real motion cab... but they are too wide for most homes doors (youd need a double door entry)... and im sure i could make a narrower cab, that can dissassembled if nessessary.
