Not just for LEDs but because you could possibly use this with opto couplers and transister/relays to driver solinoids and God-knows-what which could lead to Gun recoil and God-knows-what else. Some one very creative could connect several such devices together and make a scrolling marquees or sometype of pinball type score display.. oh yes, this is going on my wish list! ;D

Yeah, I know you could trigger relays and such. This isn't a new idea around here. I've been trying to do this for a couple of years now. Look at my old qbert knocker threads.
The problem comes in what can use it. Right now only BuddaMame can use such a device?
The other problem is you need a specific build of mame to output signals you want to use. Like a qbert knocker ot afterburner step motors ot T2 guns. Then the question is what signal should be generated and how to make that work with this product.
So, again I ask, what can one do with this right now? I am trying to determine if there is enough reason for me to buy one or just wait until there is a good use for it.

Not much since only RandyT has one and he is using a very early version of the software. We know it can do the light pattern shown in the mpg. 8)

I think I would wait a couple of weeks until it is RELEASED before deciding whether or not to buy it.

Right. obviously I wait to see what people think about it. But I like to be informed :)
i'm interested because I want to implement a qbert knocker among other hardware devices.

I'll be interested in whatever solution let's me setup specific light combinations depending on what game I play. That's all I want.
