A Picture of My Empeg\RioCar with Backlit buttons.
Well... I could not stand it any longer...
Finished the backlit button mod and I'm pleased how it came out.
I noticed that the anode side of the LED solder pads was 5v in respect to ground and I wanted them lit at all times when the player was on so I opted to add my own current limiting resister pack.

I added in the Green leds... (my theme for this one)
I then drilled out the buttons and taped the surface flat with scotch tape.
Then I filled them with a drop of epoxy, let sit and peeled off the tape.
The buttons still have a smooth feel... can't feel the holes.
The epoxy made for a nice difused lens for the LEDs too.
Some very tiny air bubbles but not a big deal.
I decided not to do anything with the volume knob as I never use it. (I have an EQ\preamp that i use to control the Volume.)

Oh yeah.... It would completly rock if Hugo were to write the PIC code for the Ring 'O' Lights and help some of us get the parts to get that going... seems ashame it's there and i can't see the lights.
I noticed there are three pads for the LEDs in the ROL, does this mean Bi-color? or just a redundant pin?
