( SOLVED) I was off by one number in my cabinet file for the port assingement..

I got my flipper to light but not my magna save leds. am i to have my dof ini file script to turn them on like the flippers? 

 

here is part of my ini where the flipper are.

 

# Which DOF Controller output for the flipper solenoids / contactors

#L_FLIPPER_OUTPUT=2017

#R_FLIPPER_OUTPUT=2025

# The keyboard hex code for the key that is used for each flipper from https://msdn.microso...1(v=vs.85).aspx

 Left Shift = A0, Right Shift = A1

 L_FLIPPER_KEY=A0

 R_FLIPPER_KEY=A1

 

Am i missing something here to light the magna save leds like my flipper. they all flash when i start up my board from CSD. and the flippers light up in popper.

And i did make the dof config tool to do the Magna save right MX . Magna Save left MX and the flippers, Flippers Button MX

Sorry, I don't know the answer.

 

But I was wondering (while we wait for a more knowledgeable person to post) if I could ask you a question ...

 

I recently got the list of Tables that have a Magna-Save feature (or something like it). I also just got DOF setup and working.

 

So, if I installed LED-Lighted Magna-Save buttons, could I configure VPX somehow so that they are only lit-up for a VPX-Table that supports this feature? 

 

Like you could tell players that if they ever see them lit, you can try to use them to "catch the ball". Otherwise, don't bother.

@Tesla yes works since this is usually programmed in the DOF settings for those tables. So if you look in the DOF config tool for example Black Knight you will see that the flipper buttons and Magna save buttons are all lit up red. Or Starship Troopers, the flipper buttons are blue and only the right hand Magna save button is lit red.
For tables without Magna or other function these fields would normally not be set, so the buttons are not lit. (not a guarantee though that it's 100% consistent for all tables, but you could always edit the settings to your liking.)
