LED Plugin or use DOF for it

[cyclemat]

Hey guys why you didnt use DOF for the LED plugin so you can have Direct support for all controllers?

ArtnetDMX, PacLED, PacDrive, Saintsmart, LEDwiz Serial and coming soon USB2DMX.

Dude ... you might have to elaborate a bit here. Is this a feature request or just an open ended question for discussion? If it is a feature request please refer your request here (with some additional details as to why this is a valuable feature to you and possibly others). Otherwise, I'm not sure where to go with this. Are you asking Tom to explain his development choices?

Sometimes brevity is not the friend of clarity ....

I don't think u can use it. DOF works off the backglass server in visual pinball thats it. It doesnt work outside of visual pinball.

I want to know need the people this future? How many people use other controller than Pacled or Ledwiz in his cab.

DOF can be used as controller plugin I have talk with swisslizzard and he mean its not the problem you can give DOF commands to controll all devices like an Ledwiz

I want to know need the people this future? .... Not on the same frequency there. Yes I guess thats possible but you would have to write the software. I believe arduino does that too

DOF doesn't come into play until a VP table is loaded. That's it.

This new Plugin is for PBX when scrolling through tables and during attract mode.

yes i know that the LED plugin is only for Attract mode but you can use DOF to Controll the Interfaces via Plugin

When you Write for all Interfaces new Driver into the plugin its cost mucht time With DOF you can Use every Interface as an LEDwiz and controll this like ones.

That mean you can talk with every interface like an ledwiz you only must write one Controll interface for DOF and the rest make the DOF.

DOF is not only for VP, PINMAME you can use it for every software that has an plugininterface and you can write a plugin for it.

PinballX -> PLugininterface -> DOF -> LEDwiz Ipac and more

[Tom Speirs]

The plugin system is completely open so if somebody wanted to write a plugin using DOF I would actually encourage it.

The User Projects forum is usually a good place to start. You can find a Plugin Template here.
