--- Quote from: swindus on April 30, 2006, 10:40:37 am ---So what does it cost to drive 25 ultra bright LED's per output or 32 rgb LED's?
No offense, I just want to know.

A single unit will handle it. Obviously, on a single unit, the up to 256 possible RGB LEDs would need to be operated in up to 10 "banks" and the up to 800 possible monochrome (single color) high-bright LEDs would need to be operated in up to 32 banks.
Or did I misunderstand the question?

swindus:
Thanks for the info, but then you will need an external power supply, right?
A 'bank' is controlled by one output. Is it possible to control each LED connected to the bank?
Just for the accurateness.
And again: what does it cost?

Yes, it operates in both USB only (limited number of LEDs lit at one time) and External Power modes. A 5v line from the PC is recommended for the large numbers of LEDs. The USB power limitation, as you must know, is the same for any controller.

Yes, but not individually. All LEDs in a bank will react the same, whether it is hardware modulation FX, brightness or in the the RGB sense, color. For individual control of higher than 32 mono or 10.66 RGB LEDs, multiple LED-Wiz units and software, such as PowerMAME or multiple instances of the current resident software, would be required.

A single LED-Wiz unit with all of the features I just talked about, screw terminal connections and USB cable costs $44.95 with 2-3 day delivery in the US at $6.05.
But a quick look at the store would have told you that as well, so I guess I am wondering what is the point you are attempting to make? "Just for the accurateness."
Thanks,

swindus:
Ok, thanks for the information. The External Power mode is a nice feature.
I just want to be sure that your claims are accurate too.
:cheers:

I see you edited this post after asking me for more information. I was just correcting errors that both you and loadman made in reference to the LED-Wiz.
If you don't want to hear about the LED-Wiz in your thread, don't post inaccurate information about it, and then don't ask me a bunch of questions about it after I post a correction to the misinformation.
Just so the record is clear, I used that line when you butted into the LED-Wiz product announcement thread pushing your product, which you were the first to bring up. Not the case here.
