LED-Wiz USB LED and Output Control Device now available. *Blinky lights*

MikeQ:

LEDwiz.dll now supports multiple devices (Up to 16) and hot swap.



I'll package it up tomorrow...today and document the new API.

Basically, the only change is a function to retrieve handles for all the LED-Wiz devices that are connected.   Also, all the LWZ- functions now take a device handle parameter.

Dude, you rock!  :o

Ok, so how do we synch em and set them up. Do you have to make 2 different animations and then call them up independantly?

MikeQ:

For now, you would have to make an animation for each device and call them independently.  It would be easy to make an API function that treats all the LEDWiz as one big virtual one.  The only problem with this is that you would need to know when you wire them up which one is device 1,2,3,4, etc.  This isn't a real big deal though.

The other issue though is we don't have a LWA editor that will generate a sequence for this API.  You would have to write the LWA by hand.

MYX:

Ok. There is a lot of tech speak, most of it I will admit, over my head. I have been doing my best to keep up, but it gets a little deep sometimes. So for my own clarification, I'm trying to convert to english. Please correct me if I am wrong. I just want to make sure I understand all this.
The game you are in makes the buttons act a certain way right? So if is asteroids it looks at something in the game and brings up the 5 button lay out. Does this come from the layout I set up within the game (tab - input general - button 1,2,3,4 etc.). Is this right? In Mahuti's set up each game calls a LWA as perscribed through a text doc that you tell it which configuration to use, so you could have the buttons pulse n stuff while you are in game XYZ. Can we do similar stuff with this (call animations into the game). Also if I use LEDWiz 2 for cabinet lighting, will it go away when the game starts?
