Color of on/off button?
Kevin Mullins:
I would think more along the lines of a steady green when the machine is on and a pulsating red when off indicating that you need to do something with that button in order to turn the machine on. (the pulsation draws your attention to it)
I guess you could say the same with a pulsating green indicating that you need to push that button to turn it off, but I think that's pretty much figured out once you've learned what to do to turn it on. :dunno

Well like I said, Nintendo choose the green=off and red=on machine state coloring so you should be safe there ;D

Pulse when off, steady when on. It should draw attention when you need to turn it on, not while you're playing.

That a good idea.
Simple and match 100% your color scheme.
You already have a lot of light on that thing. Having it steady when playing would be nice...

It means more work, but that's a great idea. Changing the code to work this way should be no problem. The trick is going to be getting the signal/input to know the difference. I do have a 12vdc signal tripping the power relay to work with. And I thought I was almost done.
Thanks for the input everyone.
