Johnny 5 and LedWiz
(1/22) > >>
horseboy:
So, I had planned on using PowerMame to light up the buttons being used on my CP. Now, though, it appears that PowerMame will cease to continue to update with new Mame releases. Powermame has all sorts of cool features, but I was only really interested in the LedWiz features. I am also planning on using a PSone monitor to display Johnny 5. I am no programmer or anything, but it seems to me that Johnny 5 and the LedWiz function in Powermame are kind of similar. They both find out which buttons are in use and display accordingly (in a very different way of course). I thought that it would be really sweet to have the LedWiz controlled by Johnny 5. We could have the propper buttons lit without PowerMame. Also since Johnny 5 can be used to show generic controls for other emulators, we could the appropriate button lit for those as well. Is there any plans or any shot in hell at this getting added to Johnny 5. I am sure you could get assistance from Randy @ GGG and Mike of Powermame.

Just a thought.

How about greasing the wheels? Send Howard a LedWiz on loan or enough money to buy one, and either send him some cash for his effort or fill out some referrals for him.

I have offered and still do to contribute an ledwiz for dual monitor features.  This is a great idea horseboy and I would be completely behind it.  You can chalk me down for at least $20 towards the cause.
horseboy:
Yeah, I really think that this could be the answer to many LedWizzers problems. I will definitely grease the wheels and throw in some cheese to get this going. Heck, if it would help I would even be willing to throw in some money.  ;D
Howard_Casto:
I don't have any problem adding the feature, ledwiz interfacing seems simple enough. 

But as the others assumed I do lack the hardware to work on it.  None of the buttons on my panel are translucent, so I've never had a need for one.  So yeah send me one on loan or something and I'll see what I can do. 

No payment is required though, I'll be glad to do it... you guys don't want me to start asking for commission, you can't afford me.  ;)

Ledwiz is seriously lacking on the software end imho.  What I'd like to do is get randy to show me how the device is controlled on the low level, then maybe some sort of module could be created for anyone's projects.
