Hi again @DDH69! 😊

I’m still struggling to get my RGB buttons working with DOFLinx for VPX and MAME. I followed this guide, but no luck. 😕

So now I have wiped the .ini file and started over. Here is how my setup looks.

• KL25Z board (for nudging) → Configured as Pinscape ID 1 and LEDWiz Unit 1
• Ultimarc Ultimate I/O → Flashed with IPAC_ULTIMATE_ID2_155c.ufw     (Started with the IPAC_ULTIMATE_156.ufw firmware but it caused DOFLinx to crash, possibly due to an ID conflict with KL25Z when both had ID 1?)

When starting with the basic .ini in Debug mode, I tried the function "Test Device by Port" to figure out which outputs that match my RGB buttons but none of them lit up. So either i don´t understand how it works or there might be some issues between Ultimate IO and DOFLinx.

Here is the .ini and .log files

Would really appreciate any insights on what might be wrong.

Grab v8.23 , there was a fix for Ultimate IO in that version.  From the log you posted we can see that that the Ultimate IO board is not being found.

[sic79]

It works!. I had to flash the Ultimate IO with "IPAC_ULTIMATE_156.ufw" firmware again to get it to work with DOFLinx 8.23, since i got the same error on "IPAC_ULTIMATE_ID2_155c.ufw" .. Thank you @DDH69

Good to hear.  Now onto those RGB buttons!

[sic79]

Hi @DDH69 I have some more questions for you that I hope you can help clarify.

1. When reading the manual, it says: "BUT_B1 -- BUT_B8 = Arcade buttons". I have a 2-player cabinet with 6 buttons per player. Does this mean that I only can use 4 buttons for each player?

2. I have two coin buttons. How can I light them both at the same time? The manual mentions "BUT_CN", but I don’t see a second one listed.

3. With my current configuration (see below), only P1, P2, and Exit are lit when launching a MAME game. Do I need to manually configure each player's buttons with "Button_Lit", or does it work like LedBlinky, where the buttons automatically lit up based on the MAME game configuration?

1.  Thanks for reading the guide!  Sadly in this case I didn't update it when B9-B16 were added in v8.15 (Nov 2024).  The guide is now correct, there are 16 buttons.

2.  You can define multiples of the same button.  So just add more repetitions to the end of your LINK_BUT_CN= line.  One of my arcade machines has multiple coin buttons, here is my definition as can be seen in one of the sample INI files
LINK_BUT_CN=1016,MONO,36,000,MONO,35

3.  I don't know how LEDBlinky works, so cannot comment on that.  DOFLinx allows you to define what buttons you want to turn on and where.  So it can be setup to have buttons for lighting set in a few places:

a) In DOFLinx.INI, this would make the buttons be on all the time.  Handy if, like me, you have lit buttons that you want on even for the front-end menu, ie the ones you use for navigation.

b) in All_Post.MAME - this is where the Coin, Exit, Reset, P1 and P2 are setup in the default All_Post.MAME.  I don't have B1 - Bx in there as different games use a different number of buttons and I was planning to only light the buttons needed for the specific game (see next)

c) in the individual game.MAME file.  This allos the specific buttons for a game to be lit.  My first arcade cabinet had a few RGB buttons where as the current one I'm still finishing has 20 RGB buttons.  Its single player with B1-B6 for P1.  I have not yet got around to setting up adding the lighting of the buttons per game, but it will happen.  Most happy to work through this with you for a few games to try it out.  In fact, once we test a couple you can even edit the game.MAME on GItHub and help contribute 

 

Galaga has become my defacto "master" game as it has the capacity to display all of the DOFLinx MAME functions.  Happy to start there.  The modification to the game.MAME file is simple.  Add a line to [STARTUP] and [SHUTDOWN]

 

[STARTUP]

.

.

.

BUTTONS_LIT_ADDED=BUT_B1,BUT_B2     <<<----  The buttons used in the game

 

[SHUTDOWN]

.

BUTTONS_LIT_DELETED_BUT_B1,BUT_B2    <<<---- Same as those added

 

 

A key thing will be to define for people how to number their buttons, P1

B1 - B2 - B3 - B4

B5 - B6 - B7 - B8

 

P2

B9 - B10 - B11 - B12

B13 - B14 - B15 - B16

 

So if you only have a 6 button setup for P1 like me, its

B1 - B2 - B3

B4 - B5 - B6

 

This will ensure that the default will work for the most people.

 

BTW - I noticed "DOF2DMD=YES" in your INI file.  That is a command line argument, not an INI parameter.  It will not hurt anything, but will do nothing other than error in the INI file.  May as well remove it at some stage.

[sic79]

Thanks you for answering all my questions!

Will do some more configuring/testing this weekend .

 

Would be really nice if it would be possible to use LEdBlinkys button mappings somehow, since very many(most?) games are already mapped for MAME. Wonder how it works......

Here´s a link if you wanna check out what it is   https://forum.arcade...ic,73905.0.html

 

Have a great weekend!

[sic79]

@DDH69 Now I've been doing some testing, but I still can't get everything to work as expected.

I have configured my DOFLinx.ini to include all my buttons (except flipper buttons), and they light up correctly when tested via "test device by port"—both the buttons and colors match what they should be. However, when I use "Fake Emulation" mode, some of the buttons that should be lit don’t turn on, and some appear with incorrect colors.

Below, I’ve included my DOFLinx.ini and log file.

Any ideas on what could be wrong or what I do wrong? Thanks in advance for any help!

 

[DDH69]

Let me start with I discount nothing until we know the answer.  So, it could be my crap code, or it could be your wiring or setup, we just need to find the issues(s).

 

Now, given I recently blew up my main output board in my arcade cabinet with player RGB buttons I can't test this as easily as I want.  I've now got to finish my Pinscape Pico build before I'll have that again.  I do still have my other arcade cabinet with Start, Pause, Exit, P1, P2 all RGB, so can test all of that.  Also B9 - 16 were working before I blew that board up.

 

My first suspicion is your mapping of the output ports.  I mapped yours into a speadsheet and I see one thing that must be wrong, but another couple of things that look odd.  The map I made is below.

 

The thing that looks wrong is that B14 overlaps P1, remembering for RGB we map the RED port and the next two ports will not be mapped to anything.

The things that look odd are output 3022 has a gap of 4 not 3 between RGB devices as does 3029.

I suspect you may not have all buttons mapped to their RED port.  Can you please check this.  The easiest way is to "Test Device by Port" from DOFLinx's right-click menu.  This will let you turn on one output port at a time.  Test the R then G then B, ensure you get Red, Green and Blue then use the Red port as the mapping.

 

For example, I wouldn't be surprised to find that your Start button is actually 3022 not 3023.  This would explain you getting Blue show when you have set Green.  I think you might just have a couple wrong.  Ideally test every port and ensure that you get the Red, Green or Blue for the button you expect.  It sounds a bit tedious, but I can tell you from experience its well worth while.

 

Once we know everything is mapped correctly, test with "Fake Emulation" again.  If there are still mismatches we will look further.  I will eyeball the code in the interim.

 

I am away for a couple of days from tomorrow, so I may be a little delayed in responding.

Hello @DDH69!

 

Yes, you are absolutely right about mapping to the RED port, I actually missed this vital part, so sorry for that, I actually mapped blue to blue output....... So I fixed that but still some buttons show wrong colours .

So started to dig into my Ledblinky config since I know that  it works on my buttons and found something intresting. The colour order changes on the Ultimate IO board after output 48.

Output 1 - 48 uses RGB order and 49 -  96 uses BGR order, can that be the issue here since the buttons that don´t show the right colors are connected to the BGR side of the board?

 

Check the outputs on the board here:

 

 

 

Here is my old ledblinky config:

 

 

Here is a video when Daniel Spies configure LEDblinky RGB order with the configtool if you are intrested how it works  https://www.youtube....h?v=m4rLw32lbuE

 

And here comes the ini and log file for DOFLinx:

Yes, not being RGB will be the issue.  It's not the board that changes its your wiring.  Not sure why a mixture of setups would ever be applied to one cabinet setup.  I haven't ever struck this before. If they were all one way or all the other then you have options.

Yes, it´s not the board. Problem here is that the buttons comes prewired so you can only put them in one direction since there is a yellow + wire. I assume that´s why LedBlinky goes through the outputs when configuring. Why the Ultimate IO has choose to use both RGB and BRG is a mystery . The buttons and the board is bought here Ultimarc

 

Here is how the button looks when they are prewired: 

 

 

I hope you will consider to support this in future release of DOFLinx, this will affect affect people using Ultimate IO with around 20 buttons that is bought from etc Ultimarc. 

A suggestion would be if user has a Ultimate IO board and uses port 49-96 the user is forced to manually map the BGR outputs either through the .ini file or map with a function like "Test Device by Port". Please also consider to watch the youtube link i posted earlier that show how ledblinky maps the RGB order if you missed that.

Oh, don't panic just yet!  I pride myself on the fact that DOFLinx can do more then any other middleware for pinball and arcade machines.  If you are prepared to test, then I will add support for other than RGB devices.  I had a couple of wines and went for a walk today while away for a couple of days and have an idea.  We can sort this over the next week if you are prepared for the test time 

 

If you are, then ma all of your LEDs to the first output port, ie Red for RBG, Blue for BRG, Green for GRB, etc.  I will add the ability to define a device RGB order.

[digitalarts]

? I can't See a problem with the Pins at this Board.
One Side is +RGB, so plug your Button-connector to it: yellow-red-green-blue
ON other Side is BGR+, so Turn your Button-connector and Plug to it:blue-green-red-yellow

Haha, ok. Wine and walk solves many problems, so Ive heard .

Ok, do I really need to rewire? Cant the test be done on current setup? Its a ratsnest under the control panel and plenty of hotglue to hold the wires.

That takes care of the physical wiring with standard harnesses, but if it leaves you with RGB for incrementing port numbers on part of the board and BGR for incrementing port numbers on the other part then you've got a driving software issue.  So defining a RGB LED on one side has say port 1 = R, 2 = G, 3 = B  whereas on the other side you have 70 = B, 71 = G, 72 = R, so the base port is not always red.

 

Ok, do I really need to rewire? Cant the test be done on current setup? Its a ratsnest under the control panel and plenty of hotglue to hold the wires.

 

 

Don't rewire.  Instead of mapping the red port, map the first port for each RGB, so on the first side it will be the red port, but on the second side it will be blue (if I'm not mistaken)

[sic79]

@DDH69 Ok, so just remap the BGR side then .. Will do this first thing when I get home from work.

Edited by sic79, 18 March 2025 - 07:35 AM.

[DDH69]

OK, testing time!

 

Here is a beta with the ability to spin the RGB to anything you need.

 

Add a combined line, or a line per button to switch the ones that are NOT RGB.

 

LED_COLOUR_ORDER=BUT_ST,BGR,BUT_P9,GRB,BUT_P10,RBG , etc

or

LED_COLOUR_ORDER=BUT_ST,BGR

LED_COLOUR_ORDER=BUT_P9,GRB

LED_COLOUR_ORDER=BUT_P10,RBG

 

I remind you that my main arcade machine with lots of RGB buttons has no output board at present so I've briefly tested this on the arcade machine with only 6 RGB buttons.

 

Let me know how you go.  Being a beta there will be lots of logging.  Interested to see the LOG if you have issues.  Remember map the first port for the LED, regardless of its colour.  Also, remember to spell COLOUR correctly

I also saw something interesting with the "MixColour" function, when testing one button 2 were lit.

 

 

I hope the above helps to trace whats going on

Based on your port mappings I would expect any button >49 to have its LED wired as BGR.  As such I would expect your DOFLinx.INI would look more like this

Regarding the "Mix Colour" function, that works on raw port numbers, not defined devices (ie, BUT_RF, etc) so it is RGB not BGR.  For anything over port 49 you would need to work on "Red" being "Blue and "Blue being "Red".
