| Color of on/off button? |
| << < (3/5) > >> |
| Kevin Mullins:
I would think more along the lines of a steady green when the machine is on and a pulsating red when off indicating that you need to do something with that button in order to turn the machine on. (the pulsation draws your attention to it) I guess you could say the same with a pulsating green indicating that you need to push that button to turn it off, but I think that's pretty much figured out once you've learned what to do to turn it on. :dunno |

Pulse when off, steady when on. It should draw attention when you need to turn it on, not while you're playing. |

You already have a lot of light on that thing. Having it steady when playing would be nice... Jay :cheers: |

Changing the code to work this way should be no problem. The trick is going to be getting the signal/input to know the difference. I do have a 12vdc signal tripping the power relay to work with. And I thought I was almost done. Thanks for the input everyone. |
