Hi All, I have been stuck with not being able to get the Arduino to see any info from MameHooker. Followed what instructions i could, but i don't know how to test if the MameHooker is actually sending its data across com3 to the Arduino. Really new to all this, been playing around with Arduinos for a while, but just found out all the awesome potential when building a mame cabinet and using the outputs. Im testing with galaga, which when it start i get the 12346=led0=1 or 0 / 12347=led1=1 or 0 but im not getting anything to the Arduino that I can see. My galaga.ini file looks like this, not sure if its correct? [General] MameStart= MameStop= StateChange= OnRotate= OnPause= [KeyStates] RefreshTime= [Output] led0=cmo 3 baud=9600_parity=N_data=8_stop=1,cmw 3 %s%,cmc 3 led1=cmo 3 baud=9600_parity=N_data=8_stop=1,cmw 3 %s%,cmc 3 my mamehooke.ini looks like the following: [General] AlertOnNewOutput=1 SpeakNewOutput=0 AddNewOutputsToDefaultINI=0 SpeakNewOutput=1 MAMEPath=C:\mame0725\ MAMEExe=mame.exe [KeyStates] KeyHookAlwaysActive=1 [OtherEmus] TitleBarHook=0 [Settings] EnableSpeech=0 SerialPort1=COM3 SerialPort1_Baud=9600 SerialPort1_DataBits=8 SerialPort1_Parity=N SerialPort1_StopBits=1 SerialPort1_Handshake=0 I'm using windows 11 and mame0.275 mamehooker5.1 any advice would be greatly appreciated... i just need to get 1 working and I should be good to go for the rest... anything else to check or a way to troubleshoot weather the com port is receiving data, i duno anything really... |

Well ---steaming pile of meadow muffin---! When you dumb... you dumb... I was pleasantly surprised when I woke up this morning and gave it 1 more test... WORKING! Then I realized that I had the Arduino IDE open which was locking the COM3 port :banghead: More questions and advice requests to come.... :cheers: |
