Ledwiz - Will pay for support ££

[SteveB69]

I know this forum is for PinballX but it's worth a try...

Until recently I had a happy working cab that supported one ledwiz drive.

I managed to blow this drive so ordered 2 new ones from groovygame gear.

The two new ones are both labelled Dev 2.

I cannot for the life of me to get the ledwiz to work with tables in VP.

So far I have it working under the lum aura control, under the DOF test config panel & it also works in ledblinky.

I have tried this using the Legacy output & the Direct Output Framework.

Have configured my ledcontrol.ini via the [site reference removed] config tool.

I've created different table folders, one for legacy & one for DOF.

i've un-installed VP & re-installed. I don't know what to do, I've emailed groovygame for support & posted loads of various forums but zilcho!

Can anyone teamviewer to my PC (or similar) & see what I'm doing wrong.

If you can help please PM me & we can arrange a price & a time asap to do it?

Thanks

Well.... The DOF version LEDWiz interface works differently than the old LEDWiz way, so the setup is different.

The DOF is the far superior and easier way to go. In order to get tables to work with them, you need the newest B2S Server http://vpuniverse.com/forums/files/file/2042-b2s-backglass-server/

And you need to have the B2S backglass for your table(s). You also have to configure your tables to use said B2S backglass.

All the instructions are here...

No payment needed, but if you follow those, you will be up and working in no time.

Thanks Virriguy.

I did already download the backglass server but I'll try that link, maybe, hopefully I downloaded an older one.

I've found the DOF .exe confusing as you have global config, table config, cabinet config etc.

Should this all be filled in by the software automatically or am I meant to do something with these?

[viriiguy]

The DOF.exe pretty much works out of the box. You have to edit your tables script to use the B2S file, but it is a simple edit. 1 line, easy to do.

The install instructions for both take the guess work out of it.

[SteveB69]

You mean

Set Controller = CreateObject("B2S.Server")

If so then yes, have been doing this on almost all tables since day one.

[viriiguy]

Yep. That would be the line
