Solution for Clearing LedWiz and real DMD on exit?

[antropus]

Hi,

I'm running both Visual Pinball and Future Pinball on my cab. Future Pinball works smootly with PinballX. At any point of the game I can just hit the exit button and any flasher, motor, contactor etc turns off before it returns to the front end. Now, with Visual Pinball it's a whole different story. If I hit the exit button while the shaker motor is running or the lights are flashing, Visual Pinball will exit and I'll see PinballX interface normally, but the motor will be still running forever until I select a new game, any flasher will stay on and the real DMD will freeze the last visible info when the exit button was hit :-/

Any solution to force both LedWiz and PinDMD2 to be turned off on Visual Pinball exit?

This is my cab. At the end of demoing "Funhouse" you will notice the real DMD frozen after I exit the game:

Thanks!

You need ledclear or ledoff.

This may help you with setting it up for clearing out the ledwiz functions.

Use the latest firmware/software from the pindmd website for your pindmd2. Russ has a firmware version available that should shut it off after closing a game out

Thanks NIck. I'll try it out. I was never able to download anything from VPUniverse (message says I have no rights to download stuff...) and seems like Russ got version 630 mentioned in the change log but it's not available for download in the regular page. Not sure if 630 will solve the problem, but I'll try as soon as I find the file.

Thanks again,

I think you need 598.16 for your plasma.

Look around on vpforums and hyperpin forums. There is plenty of information on these topics. I should have read your original post more carefully before. The Ledoff.bat works with a frontend like hyperpin or pinballx.

Russ released this file and seems like it works great! I still have to test it):

I included this .exe from Russ in the clear ledwiz .bat file and I'm running the .bat file on Visual Pinball exit and it's working like a charm!

Thanks imagamejunky,
