Quoted from vid1900:What would you roughly want for it?
It would be fun to P-Roc it and make a darker themed, faster version of the game.
P-Roc can't handle the real time events that the lighting and video in parallel require but you're welcome to try 
.
Quoted from solarvalue:Interesting, I wonder, then, how they are managing the video and lighting on the P3, which. as I understand it, uses the P-Roc? (Not being smart, genuinely interested)
it can handle lighting and video just not the lighting the way we do it. Think about the transitional colors, fades, and shades. Each interstitial color change is a real time event.
Quoted from vid1900:I saw the guys at MCP have an RGB LED controller that blows everything else into the weeds.
One board can address 256 RGB LEDs updated at 72 times per second.
72 times a second. That's cute . You need another digit in front of that number.
Hmmm nanosecond. At the beginning of your calls would be a gtod function for start timing and you couldn't get that to NS if you tried across that many LED's. I'd bet even across a handful. You are saying greater than 1000 updates a second across the string with full responses or dumb sends with no return processing? The former I would agree with the latter no way. Absolutely not round tripping in that time. We spoke on the phone Gerry and had this discussion not too long ago
Gerry is correct though it's not going to work in a woz without major modifications.
But I digress. Back to the topic at hand.
