PAC driver and MAME support to light up LED coin, start 1 and 2 on Pi 5
« on: July 07, 2025, 02:07:24 pm »
I just added 3, LED-ready, buttons (coin, 1 and 2 player start) to my USB based controller panel. My cabinet runs off the Pi 5.
I purchased a PAC drive in the hopes of making use of the LEDs.
Ideally, I'd like the buttons to illuminate based on MAME output and specifically driven by credit count or other relevant game state/output.

Since I can't use LEDBlinky and RGBCommander seems dormant, it looks like my only option is LEDSpicer for a Linux based driver.

Before posting here, I did a sanity check with ChatGPT and it seems like this is do-able (?)
