Currently I am getting a DOFLinx critical error - Error in configuration for LINK_ item #3 trying to set device to 1 needs to be in the range of 1-0.  I have 2 devices a pinone from CSD and a wemos on the pinmos board.  Now when i comment out the DIRECTOUTPUTGLOBAL=C:\DirectOutput\GlobalConfig_b2SServer.xml line in my DOFLinx.ini i can get the solenoids and all toy working in the doflinx tester, but the LEDS do not initialize.  when i remove the comment on that global config line i get the critical error, but the leds and matrix work during launch.  I have tried changing all the devices to 2 in the ini incase it was making the wemos 1 and pinone 2 but in the debug and logs it shows the Pinone is being set as device 1

The problem is shown by these lines a few times in the first log you posted

 

23-Mar-24 19:11:56.106 - PinOne Port = 

23-Mar-24 19:11:56.110 - !!! No valid output devices for DOFLinx were found ...... sorry about that !!!

 

This happens when DOFLinx calls DOF to open the PinOne device and that fails.  DOF indicates this by no serial port number being returned to DOFLinx.  PinOne connects via a serial port rather than a native device driver which makes it connection bit more fickle compared to a LEDWiz, Pinscape, PacLED,Pincontrol or the likes.  Having said that, all should be possible and I have a PinOne here working.

 

Just wondering if you have the PinOne setup in your cabinet.xml file?  If so, when DOFLinx opens DOF for your wesmos and addressable LEDs, DOF may also be opening the link to the PinOne meaning that DOFLinx can not (only one thing can have a serial port open at a time and this would be two instances of DOF).  This would explain why when you enable / disable the global config file it works / does not work.  If the global config file is not there DOFLinx does not try to have DOF open up for addressable LEDs.

 

The wesmos does not get a device number in DOFLinx as it does not need it,  So device #1 for the PinOne is correct.  When DOFLinx can't find a PinOne there is no device #1 for DOFLinx so it errors when reading your config assuming that you've made an error in configuration.

 

I'm no expert in the DOF configuration files, so this is a theory for now.  Perhaps have a look in your DOF config and see if the PinOne is setup in there, if so try removing it.  Feel free to post your DOF files if you get stuck, happy to look.

Thanks ddh, I'm 99.9% positive my cabinet xml does not reference the pinone at all. I used tinytools to create it. Dof x64 and x86 both work perfectly in vpx.

[bwalbeck]

ok another weird thing, when i try testing the x64 version of DOFLinx, with the same INI file, same cabinet.xml, the same direct output configs, just pointing to the x64 folders in DOF it works with no error, but upon loading in debug mode and attempting to test, i get a unhandled exception warning.

Hmmm, the pot thickens!  Good detective work, good find. 

 

I agree, your cabinet.xml is not doing anything for PinOne.  Let's move on from that.

 

DOFLinx 32 and 64 bit are the identical code compiled for the different architectures.  I suspect you may have different versions of DOF between your 32 and 64 bit giving you different behaviour.  Do you need to run 32 bit or can we just concentrate on 64 bit?

 

The exception is odd, I'll need to think about that more.  Does it come up as you start DOFLinx or when you go to access the right-click menu?

[bwalbeck]

32bit the error comes up on launch. 64bit the error happens in the right click menu.
I do have that beta 5 doflinx x32 I saw you post in another post, with a similar issue as mine. I will try that executable tonight when I get out of work

[bwalbeck]

so, progress.  I have used the beta 5 version of 32 bit and I got it to launch with no errors, same everything, uncommented out the GlobalConfig line, and fired it up in debug mode.  it found both controllers, leds lit up with the doflinx test, and was able to right click and test my knocker, solenoids.  but I fired up a future pinball table, and it said failed to find a FP table running DofLinx code and establish a link.  checking other methods.  The table i ran was Star Wars Ultimate Edition.  Will test more FP tables after work.

[bwalbeck]

You wouldn't by chance have a beta version of x64 I could try?

[KurtusCFlush]

Just wondering if you ever figured this out bwalbeck, because I'm having the EXACT same problem. Question: you wouldn't happen to be using a board from Cleveland Software for your addressable LEDs would you?

[DDH69]

I'd suggest use the current release 8.03 and let me know what you are experiencing from there.

[KurtusCFlush]

I finally found a fix for this issue. DOf needs to be updated: https://github.com/p...1bW15MTZieXRlcw

So having issues with DOFLinx myself.  I keep getting (Error in configuration for LINK_item#1 trying to set device to 1 Needs to be in the range 1-0)

I have updated to the latest DOF and DOFLinx,  Also it does look like PinOne not being seen.  Anyone get that figured out? 

 

Thank you for any help.  

[DDH69]

You are correct, the PinOne code in DOF is not returning that there is a PinOne device.  This is shown by not getting a port returned from DOF for the PinOne device, from your log

 

08-Oct-24 02:04:33.053 - PinOne Port = 

 

This is a known problem with the PinOne and DOF.  DOFLinx tries to help you get around this by allowing the forcing of retries when looking for the PinOne.  Try adding PINONE_WORKAROUND=3 to your DOFLinx.INI file.  This will retry 3 times.  You can increase the number but much more than 5 is unlikely to yield results.
