I appreciate it man. Thinking on it more though I'm not sure if a loan is the best option, at least not if you guys want me to keep updating the code.
That's cool Howard, the offer's on the table. Feel free to PM me if you change your mind and want me to send them, even if just to get the ball rolling until your own comes.
I think that you would need 2 anyway to add support for 2 of them. I don't need support for 2 and I don't know if you even want to do that. Just a thought.
Actually, I should take some sort of poll seeing if I'm the only one with this concern.
The problem with the RGB LEDS is that they take up three inputs each, so basically if you want an average sized panel to have full RGB capabilities, you'll need at least 36 inputs (that's not even counting the start buttons and trackball LEDs). Add to that all the little Bells N Whistles people are thinking about (the Q*Bert knocker that's already in PowerMame, the Gorf Lights, Force Feedback, etc.), and you can run out of inputs fast.
I do admit, however, that my lighting plans might be overkill -- but incredibly useful. Think "Mouse Trap".
Randy's software actually isn't all that difficult to use (esp. with Manhuti's helper app.), it could just use a few more features.
Ultimately, I'm not overly pushing that feature - it's just one of those "while you're in there, could you.....". Just having some LEDwiz support in a front end would be great.
