Quoted from herg:I tried a delay setting of 5 on my RBION last night, and for me, I think it's too high. The biggest thing that jumped out at me was that a blinking continent insert was just barely pulsing, and you had to pay fairly close attention to tell between that and a fully lit one.
It could be dependent on the type of LEDs as well, but for my preference, in my machine, I wouldn't set it that high.
I tried the delay of 5 as well, and I also noticed (but it may not have been the LED OCD) is that there was a noticeable delay (more than I would've expected) in inserts triggering. In particular, when special is lit on one of the outlanes and it alternates when a slingshot is hit. If that's the case, it could likely happen to other inserts as well.
The delay of 1 or 2 is perfect (at least for RBION) IMO as it allows for visibly smooth stepping of the extensive fading used on the machine. Slower, and it's more noticeable I think. Not that it matters really though, as whatever someone finds as perfect, as long as they're happy with it, means the board is doing it's job!
Herg: Is there any way to get some kind of a feature added to extend how long an insert is lit for if it receives a brief signal? I'm thinking in terms of using an RGB-fading LED, where it's preferable to hold a constant on rather than flashing (and resetting the cycle). For example, if something flashes briefly but constantly, the OCD converts it into an always-on signal until it stops.
PS. I used those same LEDs from Comet as well. Super cheap and do the job nicely. And also, Art is a great guy to deal with (and the shipping to Australia isn't a complete joke)
PPS. Herg, is it safe to say that if there's a major/critical update to the software (such as a feature implementation) you'd mention it in a readme in the file? Otherwise we wouldn't know if there's an improvement when the .exe is updated
