LED Control Panel Check List?
Rossman:
Um, this is what I was originally going for, but they charge way too much says most of the people in this forum. But finding the parts is near impossible...
HaRuMaN:
I have 4 hollow Sanwa JLF shafts I can sell you if you want them.
bkenobi:
I didn't see it mentioned, but you don't need to have 3+ USB cables sticking out the back of your CP. What you should do is install a USB hub (non-powered should be fine) inside the CP and connect that to the PC. It will look much cleaner that way.
HaRuMaN:
You shouldn't power multiple LED-Wiz's off one USB hub.
bkenobi:
Oh yeah, I forgot that the LED-Wiz has a higher power requirement. I was thinking that they would only need a similar power input to the keyboard/GP encoders.
In that case, can't he just use a powered hub since a passive one obviously won't be sufficient? 2 wires (USB, USB hub power cord) is still better than a bunch of USB cables (which will all plug into the same internal hub on the computer anyway).
