Title: Newbie question on Ipac Ultimate and PacLED64
Post by: offtheclocklive on May 26, 2015, 10:02:53 pm

I have spent some hours trying to figure this out and was recommended to ask seek assistance here.

I am looking to purchasing from Ultimark some RGB lighted buttons and controller to use with Hyperspin and Ledblinky.

After re-reading and trying to find more info I am stumped a bit, I want to be sure that my shopping cart has all I need to install lighted buttons and the 4-8 way controller and the correct interface or interfaces needed.

(I posted this previously in the wrong forum and asked the mods to delete the original)

If I get the Ultimarc Ultimate it looks like I need the PacLED64 Board as well to light the controls and buttons, that's correct right?

Ultimarc Ultimate I/o hooks up to join the keyboard assignment to the button or controller, but then how does the pacled64

So far my list is
• 2 Jsticks and 2 illuminated stick handles
• Ultralux RGB Buttons
• Ipac Ultimate
• PacLED64  ( Question is it needed since the Ultimate is also in this purchase? )

I appreciate some guidance on this if any one has the answer. Thank you

The IPAC Ultimate I/O (http://www.ultimarc.com/ipacuio.html) has 96 LED channels. An RGB LED requires 3 channels.

You don't need the PacLED, the Ultimate is a keyboard encoder with the PacLED built in...  effectively.

Yep, so 96 / 3 = 32 RGB LED's supported by the IPAC Ultimate I/O. Should be more than enough for most panels.
