Hello folks. I have acquired one of the Chinese built virtual pinball machines and although it works well in general, I would like to improve it, mainly graphically. The pc that is in it is totally locked out. I am going to build a new pc to replace the one that is in it and am worried about figuring out all the LED's, solenoids,rumble motor,etc. Basically all the dof type items that are already installed and working fine at the moment. How do I figure out all the different port conections etc. When they are already installed? is it possible?
Thanks for any help that you can provide.

Once you figure out what hardware is used to control the DOF toys, you should be able to manually activate each pin and see what DOF toy turns on. The you can create a new DOF Configtool account and enter the pin out information to setup DOF


For example, I have LEDwiz setup and I can use SimpleLEDtester.exe to walk through pins 1 through 32 on my setup of LEDs, flashers, beacon, undercab, solenoid

I have a LEDwiz with 32 port conections on it with 12 of the connections going to a sainsmart relay board.so I should be able to use the LEDtester.exe that you mention to test each port to see what it is activating yes?
Thank you very much for replying by the way.
