Pablo Smiraglia Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I have PinDMDv3 working with PinballX. I have just configured a Teensy controller with DOF, and it is working also (using the PF right/left events). Now the catch: they don't work together. If I start PinballX with the Teensy controller plugged to USB, the PinDMD does not work (the controller does). If I start it without the Teensy controller plugged, the PinDMD works fine. Note that: - PinDMD is on COM3, Teensy on COM 6 (I have tried changing this with same results) - PinDMD and the Teensy (DOF) work well together on Visual pinball (I have not tried FP, FX2 or other systems yet) - Once the conflict happens, I have to recover the PinDMD by restarting the PC Other than configuring dmddevice.ini in PinballX, is there other setting I should keep an eye on ? Is the DOF plugin somehow causing the conflict ? Any ideas on what to look for ? I'll be interested to hear form anyone that has both devices on their setups. I can provide config and logs if necessary. thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 I don't have either of these devices, but you may need to look at the IRQ settings for each device via Device Manager in Windows as it sounds like COM 3 and COM 6 share the same interrupt.

Pablo Smiraglia Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 No interrupt conflict, plus VP does not have an issue with using both controllers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draco1962 Posted September 10, 2017 Share Posted September 10, 2017 You may want to go ahead and attach copies of your pinballx.ini and log.txt files. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Smiraglia Posted September 10, 2017 Author Share Posted September 10, 2017 Here are my config files. I added pinDMD_log.txt that shows that PinballX is trying to connect to the DMD via COM6, instead pof COM3 as configured in DmdDevice.ini... I hope this helps figuring out what is wrong here... thanks. DmdDevice.ini pinDMD_log.txt PinballX.ini log.txt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Smiraglia Posted September 13, 2017 Author Share Posted September 13, 2017 Tom, any ideas why would PBX try to talk to the PINDMD on COM6, when dmddevice.ini points to COM3 ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pablo Smiraglia Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 alright. I figured that PinballX was *not* using dmddevice.dll, but XDMD.dll instead. Looking at by \visual Pinball\XDMD folder, I noticed that I had a pinDMD.ini that was missing from \PinballX\ . Copying pinDMD.ini did the trick. Not PinballX (XDMD.dll actually) finds teh PINDMD3 on COM 3 regardless of teh Teensy being connected or not. I guess I missed a configuration step at some point... I remember I had to rename pindmd.dll to pindmd.dll.backup, for XDMD.dll to kick in, but I missed the part of having to either keep or create pindmd.ini, as XDMD.dll uses it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
