I am a software dev. I am writing a program which should change the LED lights
and which keystrokes are output by an i-pac ultimate.
It seems that LEDBlinky can do both of these things.
Also
it's functions can be called from the command line (which I can do from my program)
I have already been able to start various LED animations on the i-pac ultimate using this command and passing filenames of lwax files in the lwa folder of LEDBlinky.
LEDBlinky.exe <animation>.lwax
I am new to all of this (i-pac,mame,ledblinky etc.) and I am a bit confused and overwhelmed by all the info available. I have some questions about LEDBlinky
1. I can load .lwax animations, but how can I create them? The LEDBlinkyAnimationEditor.exe creates .lay files.
EDIT: Ok I figured this one out, it can save .lay files for layout and .lwax files for animations.. I just missed the lwax option!
2a. Could I use LEDBlinky command line functionality to change which keystrokes are output by an i-pac ultimate?
2b. If so how? "The load mame controller file - LEDBlinky.exe 12 <controller file>" function seems promising, but how can I make the files I would need to map the physical controls to different keystrokes?
Thanks a lot for any help!
