LED control with PacDrive for Bingo Cabinet
« on: May 30, 2023, 04:04:47 am »
Hello, I am new here and I registered in this forum because I have a very specific problem and I hope that here are experts who can help me solve it: I intend to build a virtual cab for bingo pinball machines. I use Bingo-Gameroom as simulation program and PinballX as frontend. Machines of this kind have from table to table different buttons (similar to Fruit-Machines). I have therefore installed LED buttons connected to a PacDrive board. I would like to have only the buttons that are available on that particular game light up. I would like to handle it in such a way that the selected bingo table is started via the PinballX frontend and a control program for the PacDrive board is started in parallel. Ultimarc provides the program LED-Blinky. The latter is supposed to ensure that the LED buttons light up to match the selected table, but the rest remains dark. When the table is left, the illuminated keys are supposed to go dark again. That's all that's supposed to happen. The only question is how to implement this. The manual of LED-Blinky, which is good in itself, unfortunately does not make me any smarter, especially since the program clearly aims at the use in connection with Mame. Maybe someone has an idea or knows a place to turn to with something like this. Maybe there is also a more suitable LED controller that can do this.
