Any interest in a LED Driver board?

RoboG2:
Heck yeah.  I'll probably get one.

ShinAce:
I've made my own, but I use 74ls04 inverters.
2 ic's worth a total of 1$, plus resistors+pcb. That's it.

Gamecab:
I have my own board that I also created from Oscars Site, it works well and I like.  My general though is to just get the boards to the people who don't want to make the board or don't have the time to do it.
Now on the other hand, I'm really interested in trying to figure out a LED board that RayB was talking about.  That had me up late last night thinking on a solution.

That was called the L.A.M.E. Project.  I assume it died, because the website has been down for at least a year now.

I'm not familiar with this project.  What was it exactly?  Lighting up the buttons that would be active in a game, or something?  I'm planning to build something like that.  The easiest way for a hobbyist to do that would be interfacing the parallel port, maybe driving a set of shift registers to drive more LEDs than the number of I/O lines being used.  I'd rather do it with USB, though.  I've never had much luck interfacing with the parallel port.  The software's probably the harder part.

I think the board's a good idea for people who want a quick solution to driving high-current LEDs or lamps.
