LED-Wiz USB LED and Output Control Device now available. *Blinky lights*
Circo:
After playing with it some more I don't think it has anything to do with the bloodywiz.exe app. All that I need is a command to STOP or RESET the led-wiz. I could ue bloodywiz to send that command and then have powermame take over until I exit the game. Then I could start bloodywiz again to restart the attractmode in mamewah.
Even if I could make it stop looping that would fix the problem.
Hope that makes sense. Any ideas on how to do this?
EDIT: I realized that I was using the first version of bloodywiz. I started playing with the newest version and I am trying that out, not much luck so far but I am getting tired. Version 1 was absolutely perfect for what I am trying to do if I could only reset, or stop the repeat function on the LED-WIZ so that powermame can take over. Thanks in advance for any ideas on how to do this, I would think that there was some sort off command to send to the led-wiz somehow to accomplish this even if it was with the included LED-WIZ software.

That will require a relay per LED, and I imagine that would be too complicated and expensive to be worth it if you have more than a few LEDs. If you really wanted to do it, you could though.

Edit - there may be another way with transistors, not sure - others please speak up. I learned all this stuff for my Ham Radio License a while back but have forgotten a lot of it.

Ultimately, I'd like to find a Flexible RGB LED strip that runs on 5V. Just haven't found one yet. I thought I'd ask about the 12v setup, just in case.

Hey, Circo, I'm just getting around to trying this all this week, but Mahuti mentioned in one of his posts back in Feb about one of his versions that he had created a "ledsoff" file:
--- Quote from: mahuti ---I was also wondering the other day how I could shut of my buttons without shutting off the computer. I made a "ledsoff.cfg" and threw it in MAME's cfg files and I set APP2_executable to run that specific file. In the future I'll just make it a -parameter option so you don't have to add another file.

not sure if that's something that was/is included in the last version he put up or not.... *shrug* but it might be something to experiment with...?
I'm still quite the noob, so forgive me if this is useless info.
I'm looking at doing the same setup you've got right now = multiple emulators through Mamewah, powermame for mame, mahuti's app for the other emulators and for animations while in the frontend.
I've got the LEDs all in my cp and wired, just started playing with the LEDWIZ on saturday night, looks awesome, I'm going to change how I have some of my buttons paired up though, so I'll do that this week, and start playing more with the software come Saturday/Sunday and let you know where I get with the bloodywiz and powermame.
If you figure it out in the meantime, please post or PM me with your solution.
