Having trouble with RGBCommander and Led-WizGP

[MacGyver]

My issue is that I have single LED buttons, in fact I have no RGB LEDs in use at all, and this hasn't been an issue with LEDBlinky for years.
However I'm trying really hard to break free from using Windows in our cabinet so I found RGBCommander and thought I might be able to finally switch to Linux.

I have 21 LEDs connected to various ports on my LED-Wiz (2-18 and 29-32), and I have tried various ways of making RGBCommander just turn the single lights off and on.
Here is what I have right now. (using 2 unused ports for Green and Blue)

Code: [Select]

<ledboards>
<ledboard name="LEDWIZ_1" hwthrottle="12000">
                        <control name="P1_TRACKBALL" pin="2,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P2_START" pin="3,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P1_START" pin="4,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON6" pin="5,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON5" pin="6,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON4" pin="7,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON3" pin="8,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON2" pin="9,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON1" pin="10,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON1" pin="11,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON2" pin="12,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON3" pin="13,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON4" pin="14,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON5" pin="15,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON6" pin="16,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P2_JOYSTICK" pin="17,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P1_JOYSTICK" pin="18,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P1_COIN" pin="29,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P2_COIN" pin="30,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON8" pin="31,20,21"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON8" pin="32,20,21"/>
  </ledboard>
</ledboards>
This method has mixed results, lighting up buttons 1-6 on Player 1 with Red will turn off each one before, and using White doesn't, but turns on Player 2 buttons here and there.
I have tried using various methods of configuring RGBC to only use one LED, like this: (where I use the same bogus port for the unused ones)

Code: [Select]

<control name="P2_BUTTON8" pin="32,0,0"/>
and tried using second and 3rd port that were out of range and different one for all the assignments

Code: [Select]

<control name="P2_BUTTON8" pin="32,49,50"/>

But I get random results.
The only thing that works is if I stay in the confines of the way the program works and do something like this:

Code: [Select]

                        <control name="P1_BUTTON1" pin="2,3,4"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON2" pin="5,6,7"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON3" pin="8,9,10"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON4" pin="11,12,13"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON5" pin="14,15,16"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON6" pin="17,18,29"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON1" pin="30,31,32"/>
And then make crazy color mixes to turn whole buttons off and on, so white turns on all 3 but red only the first, green only the 2nd, and orange the first 2.

That method is too nuts to deal with.

I tried this:

Code: [Select]

                        <control name="P1_TRACKBALL" pin="2,2,2"/>
                        <control name="P2_START" pin="3,3,3"/>
                        <control name="P1_START" pin="4,4,4"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON6" pin="5,5,5"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON5" pin="6,6,6"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON4" pin="7,7,7"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON3" pin="8,8,8"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON2" pin="9,9,9"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON1" pin="10,10,10"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON1" pin="11,11,11"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON2" pin="12,12,12"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON3" pin="13,13,13"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON4" pin="14,14,14"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON5" pin="15,15,15"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON6" pin="16,16,16"/>
                        <control name="P2_JOYSTICK" pin="17,17,17"/>
                        <control name="P1_JOYSTICK" pin="18,18,18"/>
                        <control name="P1_COIN" pin="29,29,29"/>
                        <control name="P2_COIN" pin="30,30,30"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON8" pin="31,31,31"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON8" pin="32,32,32"/>
But to give you an idea of how bizare it acts, if I send "set,button,P1_BUTTON1,Blue" it only turns on P2_BUTTON2, and if I send "set,button,P1_BUTTON1,Green" it only turns on P2_BUTTON1, and if I send "set,button,P1_BUTTON1,Red" it actually turns on P1_BUTTON1, sending White tuns on all 3 buttons. Remember every port is set to just one number, in this case 10,10,10. How is it turning on 11 and 12?

The only way this makes any sense is if it doesn't care what you set the 2nd and 3rd number to, it just seems to be assigning the last two numbers to what ever the first number was +1 and then +2.


How can I configure RGBCommander to go against its RGB nature and let me assign a single port for all 3 color profiles? (I know there will be issues when the default button assignments and I'm willing to deal with it)

Is my only way of using Linux to buy a second LedWiz and hook up all 21 LEDs to every 3rd port?
I really just need a way assigning any color to activate only one port, or making RGBCommander treat assignments as off/on like the monitor rotate feature must. I'd settle for it just letting me assign the same number to all three.

I'm more than willing to try to solve it myself if anyone has access to the sourcecode.  Is there another program better suited for my setup that runs under Linux?

Thanks for any help anyone can give me.

I also tried assigning them the following values:

Code: [Select]

                        <control name="P1_TRACKBALL" pin="2"/>
                        <control name="P2_START" pin="3"/>
                        <control name="P1_START" pin="4"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON6" pin="5"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON5" pin="6"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON4" pin="7"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON3" pin="8"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON2" pin="9"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON1" pin="10"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON1" pin="11"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON2" pin="12"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON3" pin="13"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON4" pin="14"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON5" pin="15"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON6" pin="16"/>
                        <control name="P2_JOYSTICK" pin="17"/>
                        <control name="P1_JOYSTICK" pin="18"/>
                        <control name="P1_COIN" pin="29"/>
                        <control name="P2_COIN" pin="30"/>
                        <control name="P1_BUTTON8" pin="31"/>
                        <control name="P2_BUTTON8" pin="32"/>
But it also acts weird. I can turn almost all the LEDs on at once with "set,leds,on,White", (almost in that it doesn't turn on the ones attached to port 31 and 32 for some reason).
The log looks like this afterwards:

Code: [Select]

24/03/18 20:49:51 [INFO] [startListening] processing command  set,leds,on,White
24/03/18 20:49:51 [INFO] [processCmd] #args is 4

24/03/18 20:49:51 [WARNING] [allOn] setting LEDWIZ_1 -> fadeSpeed(0) -> failed

but then "set,button,P2_BUTTON2,White" stops working entirely for any button. and the log looks like this:

Code: [Select]

24/03/18 20:52:38 [INFO] [startListening] processing command  set,button,P2_BUTTON2,White
24/03/18 20:52:38 [INFO] [processCmd] #args is 4

24/03/18 20:52:38 [ERROR] [setButton] got inexistent button -> P2_BUTTON2 -> skipping

The only thing that seems to work is using the "set,button,LEDWIZ_1,5,White" style commands, but they do the same weird "applies to what would be the 2nd and 3rd pins" and lights up the next 2 LEDs as well.
Its log output looks like this:

Code: [Select]

24/03/18 21:08:31 [INFO] [startListening] processing command  set,button,LEDWIZ_1,5,White
24/03/18 21:08:31 [INFO] [processCmd] #args is 5

Any ideas?

Hi, I must say I  haven't read your complete post in detail. You're actually trying to use it for something it wasn't designed to do.
RGBcommander is all about RGB leds - hence the name
I know of two people that actually use it like you want it to work (to some degree or completely - I'm not really sure).
There is a section in the rgbcmdd.xml UIO example that mentions single color leds - search for the word 'hacky'.
The key will be that you need to use color values 255,0,0   0,255,0    0,0,255 255,255,0 etc - check the colors section. Basically you're going to tell the daemon you've got x/3 buttons.
So BUTTON1 wil be on pin 1,2 and 3 for example but in reality you have 3 buttons not one...
So, if you want your real 1 and 2 lit you write 255,255,0 to the BUTTON1 and that'll yield what you want.
You'll need to fiddle around with the correct 'colors' to obtain the result you want.
If 0.5 ever sees the light of day I'll likely open source it and consider implementing single color leds. It won't happen any time soon though. No time...

EDIT: I just completely read your post...
as you state : That method is too nuts to deal with. well yes that's the above he... so no can do I'm afraid.
As for the bold section e.g. the +1 +2 that is correct - it doesn't really care in that area iirc . I wrote that part a long time ago...

I'll think about an elegant way to implement it... it does interest me but it's just that there are only 24 hours in a day you know.

[ZoOl007]

Tell me: how do you want to see it function?
How should I translate for example 128,26,175 to a single color button? Or shouldn't I?
What do you expect to happen when you launch a rom that has rgb preconfiguration data in the rgbcmdd.xml
Describe your needs please.

Thanks for looking into it, I've been wanting to get rid of Windows from our cabinet for a long time and your program only brings me closer to that goal.

I would be happy with one of your crude early test binaries that I could throw 2 variables at representing the port and intensity. I could then create some scripts to do the rest.

As far as how to implement it into RGBCommander, simply having the ability to set the second and third variables to specific non-sequential ports including setting them to a bogus or NULL assignment would work too, I could easily change every color reference to White or Red and it would simply act as an off or on (setting it to above 0 but less than 255 would be on but dimmer), I am more than happy to put in the work needed to accommodate any implementation that lets me use Linux in my cabinet. Believe me, I tried everything to work within the confines of the existing RGBCommander.

Thanks again for even the possibility and the work you've put in so far.   (also the builtin SevoStik support works great and I love the way RGBCommander it blinks the player 1 buttons when I play Dig Dug)

[ZoOl007]

Hi,
I adapted the daemon to work with single color leds for the LEDWiz board only. By no means conclusive and I can't test it but logically it has to work.
When all three pins are the same it considers it to be a non RGBled and it'll calculate the average of the RGB values yielding 'an' intensity that'll be consistent with the config.
That way it'll map its whole RGB cfg to an 'intensity map' for the regular leds
So, to have a full intensity you write 'White' and to have it fully off you write 'Off'(yes, that's a color too).
If the pins differ, the original method is called. So, it'll only really kick in if you specify for example <control name="P1_BUTTON1" pin="6,6,6"/>.
One should be able to mix RGB and normal leds too.
If you like to invest some time and thoroughly test it contact me by email please.
If it works out I'll try to find time to properly integrate it for all supported hardware.
Cheers.

[MacGyver]

That rocks! And is a clever way to keep the color system happy!

I'm more than happy to test it out. I sent you an email.

Thanks again.

Sorry it took so long to check back in, I had to completely rebuild the whole OS following some unrelated Linux live/persistence failure.

So I tried it, and after designating all colors to 255,255,255, it worked perfectly.

The only thing is that it crashed after a bit of running the random light sequence once, may have been a fluke.

It does exactly what I hoped it would do.  Thank you.

My only wish would be to have Attract Mode be able to light the buttons based upon the game currently in the selector, but that is Attract Mode and not RGBCommander.

Thanks for looking into it and coming up with a perfect solution, here is a sample of the log after running a few games though Mame from Attract Mode so you can know what it outputs.

Let me know if you need any thing else. I also made a donation to your page so have some beers on me. 

[ZoOl007]

It is kind of you to donate. Thank you for the beers

as for the crash - I gave you an alpha version - it really shouldn't do that. I've had alternating sequences running for days during dev.
It is likely, though not certain, that it has something to do with the modifications. I only modified the most heavily used method and only for the LEDWiz as a poc. Can you reproduce?
There's also a second recalculation as the ledwiz doesn't support all the intensity values as the Ultimarc boards do.

as for pin - 30 and 31 that don't light up during the lightall method that is because one can only add 10 rgb leds on the board you have so I don't care about the 2 last ones as they were useless to me.

as for all changing all the color to 255,255,255: In my mind you shouldn't need to do that as 1 RGB results in one intensity if a single color led is used. But, the resulting intensity is maybe too low to be noticeable so yes maybe all 255,255,255 yields 255 so... as do Red Blue etc...

as for showing the game in the selector: that should be possible using rgbcmdcon if AttractMode lets you obtain the game in the selector. rgbcmdcon actually supports most of the commands the daemon supports but this specific one is not allowed to be called externally. I need to update rgbcdmcon for that. It is a small change.

Now that I know it sort off works I'll try to find the time to implement it properly. I'll send you an updated binary to test.

kind regards.

Hi there,

this sounds like a nice solution. Looking forward to the new version, as i'm using both led types with a pacled64 for my arcade (RGB leds for controls and single white leds for the bezel). I would also like to try out the alpha build, if you provide it to me.

kind regards

Hello,
Just wanted to know if there has been a solution for single colour LED buttons for PACLED64 yet?

Thanks in advance!
