LEDBlinky - Arcade LED Control software and Animation Editor - v8.2
jamesoliverstone:
Hey, please can someone help me, I have been pulling my hair out for hours trying to get Steam games in launchbox to work with LEDBlinky.
I have tried configuring games directly, and applying a default configuration.
Both of them correctly light up inside launchbox / bigbox, but when the game launches, as soon as the launching screen appears, the controls all go dark. Please can someone help me figure out why this is? I assume its a loss of focus on the game itself?
Someone had the same problem as me before a few years back, and wrote a AHK to fix it, but the github page linked to is dead.
Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

You may be able to solve the problem by using the "Ignore GameQuit Commands" option. This support link explains how to enable that option - see the second section.

Hi Arzoo,
I currently have a strange problem using serial output (COM port). I activated serial output for COM3 and generated the corresponding map. When I try to do a SimpleLedTest (or Launchbox, or GenMap), the log files always show "unable to write to com port". In the GenMap utility the com port is shown as active.
When I connect a serial communication application to COM3 (e.g. putty), I can communicate flawlessly with the receiver (Arduino) and simulate the LedBlinky commands (e.g. [1,255]).
Do you have any idea what could be wrong here?
Thanks in advance!

I'm out of town for a few days - I'll have to get back to you on this when I return.

Thanks Arzoo, but it is not LedBlinky's fault, it is my new Arduino R4 Minima. Its serial communication seems to be different than the old generation (e.g. Leonardo). Using a Leonardo everything works flawlessly.
So, thanks again, no more help needed :cheers:
