can mamehooker flash an led without output?
« on: January 31, 2021, 07:26:18 am »
i am using an arduino and mamehooker for the led output and it works well,
but i want by default to flash the coin button led on mame startup and have it stop when you press the button.
i tried to make it in the arduino sketch but it's interrupting with the normal led flashing from the mame output.
so my question is: can mamehooker flash an led without output from mame?

Yes.  Just read the guides.  You'll want to use the mamestart section.

*sigh*  Also read the readme file.  Turn the lamp on, wait an amount of time, then turn it off via function commands and/or a mamehooker script.
