LEDBlinky - Arcade LED Control software and Animation Editor - v8.2
arzoo:
--- Quote from: futuretrunx on July 08, 2024, 09:40:03 am ---I'm having the hardest time finding answers to my issue. I set up an arcade for my inlaws using BigBox/Launchbox (using the MAME emulator through Launchbox), we got LEDBlinky and only a handful of games are actually showing up with the proper buttons lit up. I'm not sure how or where to fix the rest of them. Can anyone assist? My in-laws are getting restless because they don't feel like the arcade is "done" - so they haven't even used it...but mostly it's because they don't know what buttons do what for which games...Any and all help would be greatly appreciated!!!

Hi, I would start by trying the LEDBlinkyTroubleshooter app - it may help diagnose the issue. If that doesn't work, email me the debug.zip file and we'll go from there.

I've been investigating why some game change events are skipped in my setup, the basic setup is: "BigBox -> LEDBlinky -> Pixelcade LCD Marquee"
In the LEDBlinky.log I found these events are dropping because of "Primary Instance Handle" timeouts.
Log snippet:
--- Code: ---[07/06/2024 23:11:25] Event Dropped [9~rshark~MAME].
[07/06/2024 23:11:28] Timeout waiting for Primary Instance Handle.
[07/06/2024 23:11:28] Event Dropped [9~rtypeu~MAME].
[07/06/2024 23:11:32] Timeout waiting for Primary Instance Handle.
--- End code ---
Any pointers as to what could cause these timeouts? I don't think the system is underperforming, the frontend is quite snappy. Could it be some network issue calling the Pixelcade host?

Hi I have a weird problem using the IPac Ultimate I/o and trying to use LEDBlinky
everything working animations etc with RL & Hyperspin but having a problem with holding down buttons, when ledblinky is running. When LEDBlinky isn't running you can hold a key down no problem however if you start LEDBlinkey it causes intermittent release of the button, which makes it impossible to hold a key in games. have attached a video link which shows what is happening
https://drive.google.com/file/d/1uBoecpl-fmcJMt-385AH9MqINYCPYemb/view?usp=gmail
Really don't know what is causing this using lastest version of LEDBlinky and is licensed
Any Help would be appreciated
Kind Regards
Chris

** PLEASE IGNORE THIS - THE PROBLEM WAS A COMBINATION OF NOT LAUNCHING LEDBLINKY VIA MY FRONT END AND MY DEBOUNCE TIMER BEING TOO LONG TO PICK UP THE OUTPUTS - ALL SORTED NOW THANKS ****
Having some issues trying to get the Mame Outputs to work - only just started experimenting with this so it's not like it has worked and then stopped working...
I'm trying to get my lights to flash blue/red for ChaseHQ (World) - rom name "chasehq".
So... I run the MAME Outputs tool from LEDBlinkyConfig and play through the game until the lights flash - the output from this tool shows GENOUT5 AND GENOUT6 going on/off/on/off so I'm presuming they are the siren in the game?
My lights are connected to a PacLED64 (screenshot attached) but it's showing as:
LED Controller: PacLED64 (Ultimarc)
Controller ID: 2
Port: 4 and 7 (these are my red and blue lights - they talk to an Arduino that handles the code for them)
So in my MAME Outputs.ini file I have:
[chasehq]
GENOUT5=PacLED64,2,4,48
GENOUT6=PacLED64,2,7,48
But it's not working?
I've tried this as well but no joy:
[chasehq]
GENOUT5=JOYCODE_BUTTON2
GENOUT6=JOYCODE_BUTTON3
My MAME output tool is showing:
Start MAME or MAME32.
Run any game(s) to display Outputs.

Does anyone have any ideas? Do I need to do something with LEDBlinky in the Controls Editor? Or is there a setting in LEDBlinky somewhere to "Activate MAME Outputs"? Or something ?
Thanks for your help :)

Hey. This looks really good but having a major problem. I've not got the traditional setup on my cab (i.e. leds on Mame controls), rather I have a pac drive which I'm using to drive cab (not control) lights. The cab lights are some additional function buttons for things like pause, emulator/mame hotkeyts etc. They are also things like backlights and led strips in the speaker housing. So, the function buttons are mapped to keyboard_codes but the speaker/back lights are not.
The basic state I'm wanting is all but two lights to stay on permanently (for use in the FE and Mame/Emulator). However, I can't find a way to achieve this. That is, just manually set LedBlinky to light all the lights on startup. It would be nice to have the lwax animations at FE startup and game launch/close, but happy to sacrifice that for just having the relevant leds lit.
I did go through input setup and mapped the controls to their relevant keycode and also the other leds to an arbitrary key. Testing this they all seemed to work fine in the Tests in the config.
The basic question is how do I just manually switch on or off leds? I've done a lot of reading and also playing around with commend line, but just getting more confused :dizzy:
