[RESOLVED] PinballX Front End - One RGB button not lighting up.


soopadg

Recommended Posts

Hello,

I running Arcade Cabinet with PinballX front end with VB X, Future Pinball and Mame.

I have Ultimarc Ultimate IO Board with Ledblinky.

Alll my buttons work ok with Emulators and even with the demo of button controls on each game whether mame or pinball.

The problem is the PinballX loads and the controls for navigating the front are lit except for left flipper.

Nudge buttons (Page Left/Right), Select, Exit are lit except the left.

All controls work, its seems bizarre that the same button is lit for Pinball Controls but not the front end.

I have tried everything I can think of and scoured the internet, I have attached my debug logs

Many thanks in advance

David

I don't know how ledblinky is working, but for my lights for VP and PBX I use DOF (Direct output Framework)

 DOF configuration is a 'per table' setting in the dof config tool. visual pinball uses this too, so the corresponding lights from a pinmame rom can be bind to a light you have

There is a table called pinballx in the tool as well. These contains the settings for the DOF plugin that can be used in pinballx.

Not sure if you can use DOF with your board as well

Edit: i thought a ledblinky plugin is shipped with pinballx. Do you have issues with that? Or you run ledblenky.exe?

Is your LEDBlinkyControls.xml correct?

You have sections for PinballX with P1_BUTTON8 mapped rather than 'LEFT'

  <frontEnd fename="PinballX">
    <controlGroup groupName="DEFAULT" defaultActive="0,0,0" defaultInactive="0,0,0,0" ledwizGlobalPulse="3">
      <player number="0">
        <control name="PAGELEFT" voice="Page Left" color="Orange"/>
        <control name="PAGERIGHT" voice="Page Right" color="Orange"/>
        <control name="SELECT" voice="Select" color="Blue"/>
        <control name="RIGHT" voice="Right" color="24,0,24"/>
        <control name="P1_BUTTON8" voice="left flipper" color="Lime"/>
      </player>
    </controlGroup>
  </frontEnd>

  <controlDefaults groupName="PinballX" description="Default voice only used by LEDBlinky Controls Editor.">
	<control name="QUIT" voice="Quit"/>
	<control name="LEFT" voice="Left"/>
	<control name="RIGHT" voice="Right"/>
	<control name="SELECT" voice="Select"/>
	<control name="ROTATE" voice="Rotate"/>
	<control name="PAGELEFT" voice="Page Left"/>
	<control name="PAGERIGHT" voice="Page Right"/>
	<control name="EXITEMULATOR" voice="Exit Emulator"/>
	<control name="SCREENSHOT" voice="Playfield Screenshot"/>
	<control name="SCREENSHOTBACKGLASS" voice="Backglass Screenshot"/>
	<control name="INGAME" voice="Game Pause"/>
	<control name="INSTRUCTIONS" voice="Instructions"/>
	<control name="VOLUMEUP" voice="Volume Up"/>
	<control name="VOLUMEDOWN" voice="Volume Down"/>
	<control name="P1_BUTTON8" voice="left flipper"/>
  </controlDefaults>

*** Note/disclaimer - i don't use LEDBlinky so please backup your files before making any changes based on anything  i say, it might be garbage ;) **

That was one of my trying different things, P1_BUTTON8 is my left flipper from my Future Pinball & VPX control setup.

Its annoying as I just got all the controls done and working great then this one button not lighting up.

That was one thing that jumped out at me, the only other thing i can see is that in your pinballx config you have Left and Capture Videos mapped to the same key code (V) - which is pretty odd and i assume must not be intentional, maybe that confuses ledblinky somehow(?)

I'd try changing the capture videos key and reverting your changes to LEDBlinkyControls.xml to see if that helps.
