HI,

 

When running DOFLinx and Pinball FX3, the Outer Left RGB flasher turns green and stays green except when either flipper is pressed.

 

This issue has been happening since updating to DOFLinx 7.45 and the latest version of Pinball FX3. It was not an issue with an older version of DOFLinx.

 

I can replicate the error just in DOFLinx by itself using the Test Trigger Actions menu. Either flipper off turns on the outer left LED green. I have also tested that the outer left LED is connected correctly and can be mixed in DOFLinx to be any color.

 

Any ideas? See log below, and config below that.

 

Thanks!

Dangit, sorry, wrong subforum.

If its just started happening then you must have made a config change as its doing what you are telling it to do     NO drama at all with this, with lots of flexibility comes lots of ways to make strange stuff happen!

 

So, in your INI you have;

 

LINK_FLOL=101

you also have

LINK_BUT_LF=102,MONO,A0

LINK_BUT_RF=102,MONO,A1

 

The last two lines are telling DOFLinx to turn on output 102 when either the L-Shift or R-Shift (flipper buttons) are pressed.  Output 102 is the G of the RGB setup at output 101 for LINK_FLOL.  Comment out the LINK_BUT_LF and LINK_BUT_RF lines I listed above, that should stop the issue.  If you are trying to achieve something else with those two lines let me know what it is and we'll figure it out.

​Huh! I don't know what I was thinking when I set that up! I might have been testing out the possibility of triggering some smaller LEDs in the TOTAN genie or CV ringmaster toys I have yet to rig up. Thanks for your help, I'll go comment those out now.

[MonsieurBon]

That fixed it! Sent you a little token of appreciation.
