What I would really want is for someone like GameCab to make a PCB out of this circuit and give me the first one free. It would be easy to put in a way to control 20 more LEDs if necessary.

I'll do it. send me an email at cruvola@gamecab.com and we can go over all of the details. If the schematics and design are good than I think I can have a batch of boards rolled out within 3 weeks.
Thanks
Charlie

I've got a video of my first prototype, get it
I have teamed up with GameCab and we want to produce these boards for the BYOAC community. However, we need to know how many are you are interested.
As I see things there are several different interest levels:
1. I'm buying it, no matter what!
2. I'll buy it if it's not too expensive.
3. Looks interesting, but I could build one cheaper.
4. Meh.
We plan on offering several different choices for what kind of controller you want.
1a. Controller capable of controlling 20 LEDs
1b. Controller capable of controlling 40 LEDs
2a. Wire harness, LEDs, circuit board
2b. Just the populated circuit board
2c. Just the bare circuit board
This board is designed to be inexpensive, thus the interface is through the parallel port. I looked into USB but the only solutions I found would add at least $25 to the cost of the project.
I'm planning on integrating this into my MAME build, and I also plan to offer a configurable standalone application than can run independently, as a screen saver for example, or as part of a front end.
We need to know what level of interest there is in this product. If there isn't any, then I'll just build myself one and change my name to Budda-bling.

Hey Budda first time seeing this, VERY COOL :D
Put me down as a #2...with a little re-wiring my Neon CP would be a prime candidate for this thing.
MrSaLTy:
I think there will be a lot of interest.
