It works now (nudging) ... i´m using a xbox360ce controller emulator which uses the ardunio board from pincontrol1 as a gamecontroller

[Slydog43]

how did you get it working with x360ce?  did you place xbox360ce in the dof dir?  Trying to get this setup again after a long break (like over a year without doflinx working .   I want to use with fx3 to get DOF feedback.  My problem might just be very hard to test without loading up fx3 since I have x360ce tied to fx3 and not the doflinx config dir.  I'm turning on debug and fake emulation to test.  Might not be able to do this not sure.  Thanks

[Slydog43]

I'm having some trouble with DOFlinx again.  I have a xbox controller plugged into my cab (just for testing).  I can get doflinx working for my flippers (xbox shoulder buttons, X1LS & X1RS) with fake emulation and debug turned on.  I run doflinx and click on fake emulation and xbox controller fires contactors no problem.  If I turn off fake emulation and run fx3, nothing more happens.   Here is ini and log

any clues?

 

thanks

 

[Slydog43]

More information, I can run the doflinx in debug mode and drag it to anther screen and then launch FCX3.  Watching the debug window, everything looks great, just no more detection of the left & right bumper.  Works fine in fake mode but not in fx3 mode.  Will try with another program now ut this info might help.  thanks

 

omg, I just added notepad to the process watch list and DOF works if I have a notepad window open and then launch fx3.  So I can get it to work now, but must be something with FX3.  I'm using the new williams table version.  Is doflinx working for others with fx3 (latest version), and I know a new version is coming tomorrow with 3 more williams tables (yeah)

Edited by Slydog43, 03 December 2018 - 03:59 PM.

[TerryRed]

To clarify what some may be seeing....

 

...if you are running a "non-Stream" version of FX3 and trying the run that with DOFLinx...and its working, but you get no DOF or triggering with the flippers... well then you need to "buy" FX3 for it to work completely and correctly... as this isn't a DOFLinx issue.

 

The non-legit versions "may" work with DOFLinx...but having no flippers (but everything else) usually means....you gotta pony up.

[Slydog43]

I made lots of progress.  I still get some crashes after I start PinballFX3, but that another story.

 

I made these changes

# The device / port for the left and right flippers, set to output device 1, left flipper solenoid on port 1 and right flipper solenoid on port 2

L_FLIPPER_OUTPUT=109

R_FLIPPER_OUTPUT=110

#LINK_LF=101,50,10000,255

#LINK_RF=102,50,10000,255

LINK_LF=109,50,10000,255

LINK_RF=110,50,10000,255

 

 

I changed the LINK_LF & LINK_RF lines (I have my flipper solenoids on ledwiz109 & 110).  It now fires the solenoid when I flip!!!!!   What do these lines mean and why do I need to fire a solenoid?  I would think the L_FLipper line would do and the link was to add more functionality to the keypress.

 

Thanks for the quick update, you are amazing.  I'm almost done asking questions, sorry.

[DDH69]

"what do these lines mean"

 

The L & R_FLIPPER_OUTPUT= define the device and port of your flipper solenoids for DOFLinx's most basic mode when its monitoring the keyboard and a full link to FP, FX2 or FX3 is not in place.

 

The LINK_LF= and LINK_RF= are another definition of the left and right flipper solenoid device and port.  The reason for two definitions is historic based on how functionality was added.  These definitions are used when a full FP, FX2 or FX3 link is active.

 

"why do I need to fire a solenoid"

 

At its most basic, this is force feedback.  The two ways of having DOFLinx work (monitoring keyboard and full link) just use the two different definitions.  From the last DEBUG log above you would be using the L & R_FLIPPER= definitions in basic keyboard monitoring.  If you are running the Steam version of FX3 the next step will be to get the full link up and working meaning that the FX3 program actions will trigger the solenoids / other toys instead of only flipper solenoids via keyboard monitoring.

[Slydog43]

wow this is awesome, I have it working great with fx3 and even the directb2s's are working great.  DOFLinx does through an exception every 2 or 3 times I launch it and then FX3.  I thought it was related to having debug=1, but that wasn't it.  Does anyone else get a .net framework unhandled exception.   It says something like only part of a readprocessmemory or writeprocessmemory request was completed.  When this happens I have to exit fx3, click quit on error msgbox and try again.

 

Thanks

 

ps. I'm running win10x64 and running doflinx in admin mode

 

ps2: I turned on win7 compatibility mode and crash seemed to go again.  I was able to run it 5 times in a row without error.  Do others have to do this with win10Prox64?

Edited by Slydog43, 05 December 2018 - 10:09 PM.

[DDH69]

Grab the full DotNet error and hopefully I can provide some direction.

[Slydog43]

Another question, I found an older parameter and thought I would try it out with fx3, QUIT_AFTER_FX3=1, but it doesn't seem to work.  Should that work?  How can I quit out after using DOFLinx (I know I don't have to, but I'm a little picky about what is running in the background)  Thanks, can't believe there are animated backglasses for FX2 & 3 now, incredible.

[DDH69]

The parameter is QUIT_AFTER_PROCESS=  The old parameter, no longer in the guide, was QUIT_AFTER_FX2= before being expanded to use for all activating processes.  There was never a QUIT_AFTER_FX3=

 

The parameter is still functional and closes DOFLinx down after the activating process stops.  It was added for people that are not happy having DOFLinx running at all times.  It is not perfect, starting and stopping DOFLinx each time can cause timing / startup order issues.  Try it out, if it works for you, fantastic.  My recommendation remains to keep DOFLinx running at all times.

yes the same happens with my cabinet win10 64 .. .doflinx 6.53 .NET error .. need .NET or DOF r3++ update?

[bobinis]

Hello... I am trying (in vain) to get DOFLinx up and running (v6.62B) so that I may run db2s animated backglasses in pinball FX3.

I do not have any LEDs or Toys, I just want the animated backglasses. Is this even possible?

Every guide points to a working DOF R3++ being installed... From what I gather that needs the hardware installed in order to create a directoutputconfig.ini that is referenced in the DOFlinx.ini samples.

I do see in the comments of one of the sample configs that I need to run DOFLinx.exe with the CLI parameter if all I want is B2S running, but I cannot seem to get this to work...it could be an incompatibility with the latest FX3 steam version and the Williams Junkyard table I chose to use for testing but not getting anywhere.

Am I beyond help here? Or will it just not work without some sort of hardware controller?

Any direction much appreciated.

The mode of running for B2S only without toys is still supported and running.  As you say there is a sample DOFLinx.INI file provided for this and you need to use the command line parameter as per the comments in that INI and in the guide.  You will need the DOF R3++ DLLs in the same folder as DOFLinx.EXE, DOF R3++ does not need to be configured, just there.  If you still have issues kick off a support thread with a screen shot of your shortcut showing the command line argument and your INI file and we'll get onto it.

Great job DDH69, I'm new both in the forum and in hobby building, in memory of the past, a cabinet of mine. I managed to make the latest DofLinx version work with FX3, very nice. I would also like to try FX2, but I can't find the DofLinx 5.20 version.
Where can I download it from?
Thanks in advance and sorry for my English translated from Italian, hello ...

The current version of DOFLinx works with FX2 still.  You may just need the FX2 files if you do not already have them.  If you need the files just PM me and I will send them.
