Text version of the page

Programmable Button Panel The Advanced Input Programmable Button Panel “patent pending” is a revolutionary step forward in gaming technology. New extended warranty available, fl uid protected, impact resistant and tested to fi ve million cycles. Now dynamic content and animation sequencing can be displayed on each intelligent OLED button. Coupled with program mable RGB (Red, Green, Blue) LED’s on the perimeter of each button assembly, Gaming OEM’s can easily create exciting, interactive content for each button using simple Windows based development tools (Resource Builder). Overview The Advanced Input Programmable Button Panel is impact resistant, protected against liquid ingress and supports multiple button assemblies. Each Button assembly incorporates a clear plastic button top over a graphical monochrome OLED display and a translucent bezel. Under the bezel and around the perimeter of each button is an array of eight programmable RGB LED’s which is protected by sealing elastomer that acts as both seal, and light defusing layer for LED’s. Each button contains an on-board micro controller and fl ash memory for local content storage. Each button can store multiple sequences and animations. Buttons are accessed and controlled via a single USB (HID) connection from the Host application. No special drivers are required. The USB protocol handles error checking and acknowledgements. Animation sequences are built, tested and downloaded to the panel using a simple Windows based software tool called the Resource Builder. The Resource Builder supports 1 to 15 buttons per panel.
