Note: When selecting the device number for this product, it must be different from any existing LED-Wiz devices on the system. This was necessary in order to provide compatibility with all existing LED-Wiz software.
Introducing the
LED-Wiz+GP™, the only
I/O Controller of
it's kind. The LED-Wiz+GP is a true 16-Output LED-Wiz™ with all of the
same special built-in lighting effects, coupled with a
high-performance, 16-Input Gamepad-style arcade controls interface!
For the first time, a single controller board provides a simple way to
control relays, RGB and High-Output LEDS, etc., while also allowing for
up to 16 switch based controls, including Joysticks, Pushbuttons and
more. The output side of the LED-Wiz+GP™ is a fully featured LED lighting and output logic
controller capable of delivering up to 500ma per output at 5v DC.
Programming tools are available for integration into your custom
projects.
Features:
- LED-Wiz™ Compatible. Current LED-Wiz compatible software and programming tools may be used without modification (outputs 17 to 32 on each board are ignored)
- 16
uniquely controllable outputs and up to 240 Hi-Output LEDs per board
(15+ per output, external power source required for this type of
operation)
- 48 levels of PWM intensity. Using RGB LEDs (common anode), theoretically 110,592 colors are possible.
- Smooth, Hardware Pulse FX. Each
individual output can be set to one of the following hardware modes.
These modes are set by the computer, and after that the hardware
handles them autonomously.
.....Intensity
.....Sawtooth (gradual up and gradual down)
.....SquareWave (blink)
.....SawDown (full on, gradual down)
.....SawUp (gradual up, full on)
Hardware pulse rates are controlled by a 7-level global speed setting.
- Up to 16 boards may be used per system.
- No Additional Drivers. Each board is identified as an HID Game Controller with one set of X and Y Axes (Joystick directions) and 12 buttons.
- High Performance Inputs.The
state of all inputs are reported up to 125 times per second, with no
limitation on the number of simultaneous button presses.
- Easy to use Screw-Terminal board connections.
- Common GROUND Input wiring method. Only one input wire and a shared ground line to each switch.
- USB port communication and power.
- Includes mounting hardware and 6' USB cable.
Resident control, animation and keyboard LED emulation software is currently in public beta and available for
