Question: How much is the LED only hardware in US dollars?

Here is an old thread that should answer your question:
Keep in mind that 1 guy is putting these kits together (at the moment) before questioning the price and they are a complete kit to get you running with mala straight away (Included are LEDS, In line RESISTORS and cables)

It will change display orientation (and the game list if you want) depending on what controll is touched (Up/down/left/right/game start)

yeah no solution to that really unless you upgrade to a 'I-PAC4 Board'.
I have three controll sets. 2 on one side and 1 one the other each with three buttons. A normal I-pac was had enough ports to cover my needs and MaLa cocktail mode works well
Another solution is you can dedicate a separate button to manually change orientation of have the appropriate game list display. See attached screenshot.
Timoe:
I am very interested in the Mala LED hardware. Are other LED colors available? For example: blue or orange?
What is the viewing angle on the LED? The Luminous Flux if you will.
What about LCD support, can I hook it up to a betabright scrolling marquee?

I will ask. The LEDS are designed to go in colored Buttons. I also bought a few RGB Leds to put in my white buttons

If it can handle input using the 'HD44780 controller' protocol like the displays found here

This is a great thread that has lots of good info in it.... I had never really considered using MALA before now, but I think this thread has swayed me to it.
Unclet - many thanks for taking the time to write up what you did.... it's a BIG help!!!
