RGBcommander 0.4 released for Windows, Linux and rPI2/3

Hi,

I am pleased to release RGBcommander 0.4 for Windows, Linux and rPI2/3.
The only cross platform arcade led and joystick solution in the world  :applaud: - yes indeed...
with the addition of Windows as a platform - it is the truth, so I can say that  ;D
The program evolved significantly, got a lot better and gained many features.
No need to go hunting for files as everything is included.
RGBcommander should provide a smooth experience for anyone willing to invest the time to read the site and the documentation in its configuration file.
Care was taken to provide extensive and clear instructions so please use them.

RGBcommander's main features :
Works with Ultimarc PacLed64, UltimateIO, ServoStik, UltraStik 360 and GroovyGameGear LED-Wiz
Rom specific colours, animations and joystick switching on all platforms, in all situations
Startup animation flashing on Ultimarc led boards
Is highly compatible due to being frontend agnostic
Customisable and fully RetroPie integrated ( rPI2/3 )
Supports MAME blinking leds ( emulator and rom specific )

I feel reasonably confident about the overall design and quality.
The beta tag has been kept because of the limited configurations it has been tested on.
Time and broader adaptation will tell...
I plan on fixing issues should they appear ( within reason that is - it is a hobby project )
You use this program at your own risk. Pay attention to the License and Warning please.

There are two download links on the site http://users.telenet.be/rgbcommander/
If you are on windows download the Windows installer.
rPI2/3 and 64bit linux users grab the Linux installer.

It took a lot of effort to create RGBcommander but I enjoyed it ( most of the time  ;) )and I hope it'll make your build look stunning.

***Windows download removed***

The win64 download was taken down because, looking objectively at it, I am concerned that it might be too disruptive for the windows retro gaming eco system. It is a small pond after all and I don't intend to ruin it. I am going to continue developing it in parallel with the *nix version for my own for the time being. If you are one of the few people that downloaded the windows version - that's fine - feel free to use it if you like, just don't distribute it please. It may ar may not return - that'll depend on how things evolve. Thank you for your comprehension and cooperation.

Cheers

I can testify this works well on the Raspberry Pi. Ultrastik auto switching and Ledwiz works great.

I've been helping test for quite a while. Very excited that this is now finally released!

Hi,

First, Thanks for all your work  :applaud:

I've tried RGB Commander 0.4.0 beta 1 on a Windows (8.1) Cabinet, but after reads the web site and the whole instructions in the rgbcmdd.xml file  I'm still getting a error  :dunno when I tried to "set,animation,test":
17/03/17 19:48:27 [ERROR] [connect] cannot open device PACLED64_1

The pacled 64 is working fine when I do some test with ledblinky.

Please find attached the whole log (don't know if it necessary)

mahuti:
Was the PacLed plugged in before starting RGBCommander?

ZoOl007:
It works on W7 and 10 64bit - that is to say - it does on my machines - vm's and normal ones out of the box. I got 0 responses on my call for windows beta testers and I don't have access to a windows 8.1 windows machine.
So yes - this could possibly happen - if you feel like it and have some spare time contact me by mail please. Otherwise we'll pollute this site with a very lengthy post :blah: - ask mahuti   :lol
I'm fairly sure that it is something minor.
Do you have a w7 or 10 just to cross check?
I'll try to get a hold of a 8.1 somehow.

it'll work...
