They are only single colour LEDs so I have to get 122 outputs on the LED Blinky sequencer screen. Fun times ahead! :) --- End quote --- That came out awesome man. Loving the light up around the joystick. How did you do that in fact with the light up around the joy? Edit:: Nevermind, I saw the panels out in the open that you did on your thread. You gave me ideas for future projects :). But the cab is coming out awesome, keep up the good work and will definitely like to see the final build. |

I always felt it was overkill, a friend of mine wants them just for that "bling" effect, but that wasn't my cup of tea. Then I saw Arzoo's thread... Now, on my next cab I will probably have them. I don't care about attract mode flashy lights, but when people are over to play games, the first question they have is: "what controls am I supposed to use for this game"... and of course that question gets repeated for every game. Here's a shocker, I'm no expert and thus don't know every game's control scheme. I could look it up but ledblinky along with those flashy buttons become more than aesthetics, rather a powerful and convenient tool. Not everone wants to play a 1 button game and even some of the old classics like Asteroid (good choice for the demo Arzoo) really benefit from the lights and the ledblinky. http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=73905.0 |
