Thanks Scott for catching up and clarification for the search issue!  :cheers:

Hi meduza, sounds interesting.
How would that be configured correctly?
I tried it setting the color for the buttons (elements) on the profile of the system.
E.g.: in the profile_arcade.xml.

--- Code: ---<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<LEDSpicer
version="1.0"
type="Profile"
backgroundColor="Black"
>
            <element name="P1_BUTTON1" color="Red" />
            <element name="P1_BUTTON2" color="Green" />
    <element name="P1_BUTTON3" color="Yellow"/>
            <element name="P1_BUTTON4" color="Blue"/>
</LEDSpicer>
--- End code ---

But this is not working out for me.
Using emitter sets any of the element to the color "White"

If I configure this for a game / rom profile e.g. galaga or 1942 then this is working well.
But that would mean I need to create a game / rom profile for each game.

Thanks, Stefan.

Hello Stefan, I just found out that I forgot to document this   :-\
to add default colors to elements or groups use

--- Code: ---defaultColor="Xxx"
--- End code ---
where Xxx is a color name from the list of colors (the 1st letter normally is Capital)
I will update the docs soon with several features we added lately. 8)

The default color can be override by ElementColor or GroupColor set on profiles  :laugh:

EDIT: Updated documentation added default color and solenoid usage! 8)
check it here

Hi meduza,

thanks for calrification.   :cheers:
I just gave it a try and it works well if set the default color in the ledspicer.conf
But if I set the color for a button element to another color in the system profile (e.g. profile_arcade.xml) it is not working for me.  :dunno

maybe someting else is wrong with my compilitation of LED Spicer:
If I call "ledspicerd -p default" I get a segmentation fault.

--- Code: ---Initializing Device Ultimarc Ipac Ultimate IO
Connecting to 0xd209:0x410
Detecting interface
No Game Controller mode detected
Claiming interface 2
Dropping privileges to user id 1000 and group id 1000

--- End code ---

My system is a raspberry pi4. The compilation went through witout error.
Any idea?

Thanks, Stefan.
