That is a nice combo.

These will be ideal for portable personal control panels (PPCP) :cheers:  All you would need is a short USB cable (6") connecting this to a USB hub.  Include a thumb drive on the hub with a simple front end to control the LEDs, MAME and a few roms.  Just make sure that you don't overload the power consumption with the LEDs or get a wall wart to supply the 5v needed.

Up to 16 different boards in any valid combination or up to 16 of the same boards?

You may have a total of 16 LED-Wiz / LED-Wiz+GP boards on a system.  To maintain compatibility with existing software, both models use the same device numbers.  So if you already have LED-Wiz devices 1 and 2 on your system, then you'd want to order the the LED-Wiz+GP board as device 3.  If you don't already have an LED-Wiz board on your system, start at device 1 and work your way upward.

You're killing me man.  I just ordered the rotary gpwiz yesterday, thinking my old gpwiz would replace the gamepad hack in my headless mp3box.   Now this beautiful thing comes along.  it would be perfect for the mp3box, which doesnt need more than about 12 buttons. I could have a led for the shuffle and repeat modes, and maybe a cool volume meter around the knob. 

I don't really want to be a pain in the butt penguin,  but is there linux software in the works?  I assume the gpwiz part will work fine but the led part would need a small program right?   could i possibly program it on a windows box and then hook it up to the linux box once it is programmed?

great job,  and thanks.    :cheers:

I don't think its been announced anywhere, but I'll mention here that I'm in the process of working on a Linux library/app that'll drive an LED-Wiz.

I'm unfortunately a bit behind due to some "real life" interruptions, but have things started and have my Fedora box talking to an LED-Wiz.  Doesn't do anything yet, but they're talking to each other.  Things should start to pick up speed in about two weeks as I get some work out the door and have more dedicated time to sit down and finish coding.
