Title: Soooo....i want lights and a slikstik CO2.....how?
Post by: DigitalAce7 on September 01, 2006, 11:05:45 pm
Hi guys,
I haven't started my project just yet still working on financing and what to buy.  So I like the idea of lights.  I was thinking a Slikstik CO2 with almost all the buttons lighted and also the 2 main joysticks lighted.  I was thinking the cheapest way to do it is to get a precut CO2 blank Control Panel and start wiring that up with LED Wiz and all the other good stuff for a control panel.  I'm looking for how to illuminate the main joysticks for one and two player.  My question is this:

Can you add Slikstik Illuminated Ball Tops to the Ultimarc Ultrastick 360 or am I stuck with the Happs Perfect 360? 

Also wondering about lighting thru LED Wiz.  How does that work?? Maybe I just want it to be perfect but can you adjust the color of the LED using RGB Drive to almost any color you want?? Can someone explain how I would do that? Thanks,

Could someone answer this? I don't think it's posible but anyone know if there any plans for it?  I thougt I read something about this in the U360 thread started by Andy but I haven't been able to find that info since.

Also, in my Project Arcade book, it says to be wary of the quality of light up sticks and buttons. Is Slikstik the exception to this? They appear to be good quality...and well recieved on this forum...so I'm wondering why the book states that.

I don't know why the book says that but I've go the Slikstik blue lighted ball top and it works well with the HAPP Super, Competition, and the Ms Pacman/G Reunion stick.

The quality is VERY good and I highy recommend it.

However, I've not seen the Ultrastick so I can't comment if it would work with it or not.
