Im new, but Im definitely learning. Thanks for the help thus far. 

 

I have a KLz with an expansion board. It appears when I run DOFlinx it sees only 32 ports, while I believe the expansion board takes it to 49 ports. I used the built in tool to make my DOFlinx.ini file and although when I put the ports in and tested for my lights (coin, launch, start,etc) they all worked when tested. When I created the ini file, those ports did not go into the ini file (they were all above port 32). 

DOFlinx works, my lightbar works (sorta), solenoids fire, shaker, knocker. Theyre all below port 32. When I launch DOFlinx with debug, right click and test ports, I can put a port number in higher then 32 and it TESTS just fine. Since the built in ini creator didnt put in those items over port 32, I manually put them in but they still wont work (syntax on them is correct)

 

I dont know what info you need from my debug to help me out, but below I will put my log file (just launched doflinx without a game), my port assignments, and Ill somehow attach a screenshot of the doflinx debug screen that comes up. The last line is suspect. 

I beg of you dont ask me to rewire lol. Im surprised I got it as far as I did. Im really hoping there is a way to get doflinx to see the expansion board properly instead of trying to rewire (Id still be short ports)

I noticed that the formatting changed from what I had and makes the port assignments difficult to read, and I attempted to attach a snip of what DOFlinx shows when it starts up but was unable to.

We're all here to learn, the smarter ones admit it!

 

Anyway, seems you've attached 2 x DirectOutput logs and 0 x DOFLinx LOG.  Remember DOFLinx uses DOF, they are two different things.

 

When you say KL25Z, yes, I presume running PinScape. I have PinScapes with >100 outputs, all good.

 

In the Pinsape setup (sorry can't grab a shot at the moment as I'm not near the cabinet, but below is a DOFLInx.LOG snippet from someone else I was helping today, it shows both devices), you need to enable the Pinscape to be seen as a Pinscape and not just LEDWiz equivalents.  LEDWiz's are limited to 32 ports each..  I suspect this is your issue.  DOFLinx wants to use it in native (Pinscape) mode, DOF will happily use either.  Once you do this, at startup DOFLinx will "see" both your Pinscape with all outputs and a LEDWiz with 32 outputs and numbers them as output #1 and output #2.  For your toys use output#1 only, ie the real Pinscape, not then emulated LEDWiz.

 

Hope this gets you on your way.

I understand wat you re saying, but Im confused as to how to get it done - to acknowledge the ports over 32, even if I set it as a device #2. My output log clearly shows doflinx in thinking that there is a second device, but how do I tell it that device is not supposed to be seen as a ledwiz. I tried along the lines of (example for my statrt button) LINK_ST=244 to point it to the second device, but it throws an error stating that port assignment for that device needs to be 1-32. In the DOF config tool, I only have 1 device listed there, as you mentioned is fine for DOF. I looked at sample doflinx ini files, and in the guide, but I am still confused with this point. I can see what needs to be done in my head, and understand why, just not how to do it! frustrating to say the least. 

I sincerely appreciate your helping me to understand.

So, I need to have it see the "second" device as a pinscape device. I hopped over to the config tool, and added a second device. It now shows up in the dropdown for me to choose (currently blank). Do I set up a 2nd device in the config tool using the ports above 32 only? Wouldnt that give me 2 config files? And would I just add a line in DOFlinz ini pointing to another directoutputconfig? I might be COMPLETELY wrong on this, but thats how confuse I currently am lol. Im hoping Im at least poking in the right direction.

 

Current doflinx output when I start it up.

Its this bit in the Pinscape setup utility.  I think you've gone to the DOF setup utility.  The Pinscape utility runs locally on your PC and is where you would have setup your buttons and outputs on the Pinscape.

Eureka. That little thumbnail was all I needed. Much obliged for your direction! Now that I got it seeing everything it needs to see, I can move on with making it do the things I want it to do! And by the way, it makes sense now. Well, much more sense than it did before. I set this up almost 2 years ago already, and it was working fine but I decided it was time I relearned what I did, if you know what I mean. With the addition of Pinball FX, and all the 64bit updates, I figgred now was the time.

Thank you much again!

Great news, thanks for letting me know.
