LED-Wiz USB LED and Output Control Device now available. *Blinky lights*

<< < (83/92) > >>

Deefish:
Randy or anyone else that has hooked up the LED-Wiz with the RGB Drive's, Am I correct in assuming that by the diagram that comes with the Drives that each RGB Drive uses 3 hookups? Does that mean that I can only hook up 10 RGB Drives per LED-WIZ's? Or can you hook up more than one RGB Drive to the three points? If this is possible, does this mean that all the RGB Drives hooked up to the same contact points will have to be blinking the same sequence?

I have 23 buttons and ordered 23 RGB Drives. Should I have gone with individual LEDs instead? I really want to use the RGB Drives so as to have the option for all the different colors, but if that requires additional LED-WIZ's I'm not sure I want to go that big with it.

Thanks in advance,
deefish

they will have to be duped.

MYX:
If you wanted to get a little silly you could use 1 output to power a relay (double pole double throw). Have the relay control a ground line. Then you could have 2 seperate runs of lines that can be controlled via the interface.

Lights 1-10 ground line 1
Lights 11-20 ground line 2

out put 32 is low so line 1 is a closed circuit and lights 1-10 blink. Then 32 goes high and line 1 is broken and line 2 is closed. Lights 11-20 blink.

Would this work.

I was just wondering what brightness the LED's you guys are using to light your buttons?

JoyMonkey:
Back to the 'how do we figure out which buttons light up if Mame doesn't really know which buttons are used' argument...

A thought occured to me on the way to work this-morning about how Mahuti's app works and how MikeQ's upcoming LEDMame chooses which buttons to light.

Couldn't a little app be written than generates CFG files for every game based on how many buttons is listed in controls.dat? It could check how many buttons xmlinfo says a game has, compare that to how many controls.dat says, then write a CFG xml file that sets the obsolete buttons to NONE.

Wouldn't help with games that aren't yet listed on controls.dat (like individual NeoGeo games), but it'd mean you'd have to manually configure less games.
