I will. Thanks. ;D I am not 'Wiz' slamming I hope it is faster.
--- Quote ---*EDIT* Another thing to consider is that a smart approach would be to only make them light up after the list has been stable for 100ms or thereabouts. No reason to keep changing the lights if no-one is interested in looking at them.

FYI Mala and IOWarrior can do this scrolling through games faster than I could read them and the leds keep up flashing away. Not that this is a must have for most, but it does look cool. (Like you RGB music demo is cool)
I will test again when I get the new OCX thanks Randy.

A good programmer does amazing things with the tools at his disposal. He does not whine and give up, he overcomes. I guess "programmers" have just become lazy nowadays.
There's a huge difference between "can't do it" and "can't do it the only way I know how or choose to".
BTW, how many colors can that other chip give you again? Got any other apples you'd like to make orange juice from? ;)

I can't comment on the programming efficiently element (as I have just started coding) but please stop the Warrior V Wiz debate firing up again.
I have 2 of each on my test bench. Both are good bits of gear and have their pros and cons.
In my opinion (from testing so far) an 'ideal' system would have one on each doing different roles.

And a good engineer doesn't blame the end user when their product doesn't do what is advertised or doesn't do what they want it to. I guess product developers have just become lazy nowadays as well.

No, sometimes we just think things further through.
How big a buffer should the hardware use? Should it just continue to lag further and further behind the streamed data until the system runs out of memory? Or, if the user stops scrolling, should the lights continue to flash for 10 seconds after the fact?
If you would stop to think about things before you come down on people, you'd probably do it less often.....but I doubt it.
