Hello, I am running DOFLinx and I get the following error. I do not know if it's normal. I have a teensy installed in the pinball that controls a backboard and 2 led strips on each side. DOFLinx.log displays the following:

If you only have a Teensy then Put this # in front of these types lines -- LINK_LF=101,50,10000,255
Clear the log and put this in your ini file and try a game -- DEBUG=1
Post log

[DDH69]

Given you only have a Teensy you might want to stop DOFLinx looking for other output devices with this on the command line (in your shortcut to DOFLinx) DISABLEDOF=YES

Hi Outhere and DDH69,

at the end I have deleted from the doflinx.ini everything related to solenoids and underlights and now the log I get is as follows:

I think it already works, but to use doflinx on FX3 and FX2 do I have to add something else?

I see the log, but did you try and start FX3 while collecting that log?  I can see that you started FP and VPinballX.

 

BTW you probably don't need VPinballX to trigger DOFLinx unless you are trying to do some really tricky stuff.  So, for some housekeeping I'd suggest changing this line

PROCESSES=Pinball FX2,Pinball FX3,Future Pinball

then rerunning your logging test for FX3.

Hi DDH9,

 

here the log with Pinball FX3:

it´s correct?

[DDH69]

It looks fine for a quick start of FX3 then stop (27 seconds).  The next step is to start FX3, select a game and play if for a minute.  When doing that do you get the backglass, DOF effects, etc.  I you are not getting all you expect explain the test and post a LOG of that same test.

[Davidoff]

Hi, I guess now everything is correct. I see that it detects all keystrokes. But I can't check if the lights works since I'm installing all software (pinup, future pinball, visual pinball fx2, fx3) everything via remote.
