Help with LED and getting started
Endaar:
With the number of buttons you indicated, you will need more than 16 inputs. Likewise, 16 LED outputs may not be enough, depending on how many buttons you're lighting.
shatteredzman:
Oh you are right, it took me a while to realize it also worked as a keywiz. Based on your earlier design you will need 20 inputs. Also if you want a spinner you can get the keywiz/rotary combo. Maybe you can use the led/keywiz for extra inputs for admin settings or something, just be sure to put the buttons somewhere other than your control panel to reduce clutter. Whatever you do keep it simple and dont clutter your panel!

Yeah I thought I needed more controls. I am only planning on lighting 14 buttons at the moment. Does anybody have an opinion on the LED buttons from GGG vs ultimarc. The ultimarc ones seem a little easier to install.
njay:
well i recently modded my x-arcade with the novagems from ggg.
im not a techie or a tech wiz but i managed this fairly easy
the novagems include the led of choice already soldered on the driverboard with the two wires already attached to them so you can connect them straight away to your ledwiz and your terminal strip for power

I modded my X-Arcade Tankstick.
I have more pics of the installation on my webpage.. See URL below.
