LEDBlinky help for a noob

[pod]

Hi all, I setup my cabinet this weekend with an LEDWiz and have been trying to get LEDBlinky v2.5 going without much luck. The ledwiz is working nicely, Mala controls the leds through the ledwiz.mplugin ok, but not through LEDBlinky. I have followed the readme.txt to get everything setup, I generated the input map file, generated the mala, mame, and emu files, and I can control the leds in the profile editor. In the configure LEDBlinky program I have checked pretty much every box and selected several animations. When I start Mala it does play one animation... the one I have set under More Options->Cabinet LEDs->Animation File, but thats it... no more blinkies. I do have the checkbox set for "Light Mala Controls", "Light Game Controls", and "Demo Game Controls", as well as all the checkboxes under "Cabinet LEDs". Could someone please help me out and tell me what I might be missing?  Thanks!

pod,
Uncheck the "Cabinet LEDs" options - that should solve the problem.   

The Cab LEDs feature allows you to light a second set of LEDs independent from your control panel - like if you had LEDs around the marquee or something. It also requires that those LEDs be wired to their own LED-Wiz.

Also, make sure you don't have both LED plugins (LEDWiz and LEDBlinky) active at the same time - remove the one you're not using from the plugins folder.

And check out the new LEDBlinky Animation Editor

Yep that was it... working nicely now  Thanks! I have also been trying out the animation editor and it looks great. I can't wait to spend some more time with it and setup some custom animations for my cab. Thanks again Arzoo.
