LED Rotating Light connected to LEDWIZ? *WORKS!!*
Deefish:
Does anyone know if it is possible to connect a LED style rotating beacon light to the LEDWIZ to power it and sequence it to flash when selecting games in MALA? I don't want it to be constantly rotating, as that would be annoying.
Here is an LED light: http://shop.vendio.com/progearwarehouse/item/957962111/?s=1219746883
The one above prob is 110v, but if I get one that runs on batteries, Would that work?
Thanks for any info in advance,

That would be bad ass!!! You could make it happen at key points in the game like Afterburner when you are hitting the button to refuel or shoot missiles . Or even just start up for games like missile command.

Yea, that would be cool, good idea Shieldwolf!
We have these at work: http://www.coolsafetyproducts.com/site/898652/product/PL-300RJ
They are 4.5v dc running 4 AA batteries, LEDWIZ outputs 5v dc per terminal. I am going to borrow one and try it out on my machine tonight. For now I will just try having it flash for a few seconds when a game is selected. If someone knows how to enable in game animations, please provide details.

Just be careful with the "heavy magnet" it says it comes with. You don't want that near your hard drive or monitor.

Good catch! I peeled those off with a screwdriver and tested it on an unused port on my LED WIZ. It lit up!!
It does seem to flash faster than when using batteries.
Ok now I have to wire it to the top of the machine and test it for longevity and sequencing.
I will post a pic later when it is up and running.
