Buddabing's LED controller

Excellent... this means that KeyWiz users now have a chance at start button lights!
Of course, with this being completely dependent on BuddaMAME, you can never, ever stop updating it now...
[Edit out request for external app; didn't read the thread carefully enough to see one is planned.]
Sounds like I need to find a way to support this in WinCab Jukebox... if I could make individual LED's respond to messages, you could have control panel indicators for anything a WinCab icon can respond to, like making a button flash as it's pressed or having LED's to indicate the Popular list display, Radio mode, Pause, etc. Or actually have light-up instruction panels like the default skin currently simulates... anyone interested in this?
(Sorry for the semi-hijack...)

Thanks for the link Felsir.
Buddabing:
LilWolf probably wants swappable LED harnesses so he can mount the controller in the cabinet and still be able to swap multiple panels that all have their own LED harness. There would be a connector (like a DB25) that the LED harness is wired to that would then mate to another DB25 connector wired to the controller.
Lilwolf, am I correct? I would want this capability as well.

Yikes. This is the primary thing that would depend on if I buy one or not. I'll have to look at the prices of your different options when you have them finalized. Hopefully there will be one in my range. I too misunderstood your $25 comment in the USB post.
