Single Button Press Causes PinballX Wheel To Spin As If Button Is Being Pressed Multiple Times (Solved)

[lm_shaker]

All; 

I recently had a problem that (embarrassingly) took me 2 days to solve.  To save someone else from wasting their time:  I figured that I would post what I found.

My Virtual Pinball Cabinet uses a PinScape/KL25Z Controller.  Which emulates a game controller, rather than a keyboard. 

It was working fine for months, then all of a sudden: A single button press would cause the PinballX Wheel to spin as if the button was being pressed multiple times very quickly. 

The cause was that 2 buttons were being pressed at the same time. I have a locking button inside the coin door that I press to simulate "coin door open". (switch open = coin door closed. switch closed = coin door open.) I had left this button in the wrong position after changing a VPX Table's Operator Settings.

Simply opening the switch solved my problem. 

If you want to re-create the issue for fun: In the PinballX Table Selection Wheel: Hold down your insert coin button and press a flipper button.  

If your reaction to this post was "Well, duh!": Please feel free to flame me in a reply.
