Dof Config Tool Request: Set Ledwiz Unit Numbers Explicitly

It would be nice to be able to tell the DOF config tool the unit numbers assigned to the LedWiz devices in the system.  Right now, if you tell the tool you have one LedWiz, it assumes it's unit #1.  If you tell it you have two, it assumes they're units #1 and #2.  DOF itself doesn't make this assumption - if your devices identify themselves as units #2 and #8, DOF is happy to deal with them at those addresses as long as you name the .ini files correctly (with "2" and "8" suffixes).  

 

I can manually rename the files, but it would be nice to eliminate the manual step by letting me enter the unit numbers into the tool, so that it generates the files with the correct names to start with.

you have a ledwiz #2 and #8??

i aligned with requirements of dof and how it is most logical, but if it is not enough i think you can override the assignment with the cabinet.xml to say dof.ini2 = ledwiz8

Okay, I'll give that a try.  It definitely works to name the .ini files according to the unit numbers, though..

i know, but the solution is the cabinet.xml, i won't change configtool for something that is feasible there ;)

I guess the easiest solution if you use a setup with "missing" ledwiz number (e.g. just ledwiz 2 and 8) would be to define 8 ledwizunits in the config tool and only to configure toys for units 2 and 8. When you generate the ini files dof will build 8 ini files (6 of them without any effect configs). Since DOF finds only the existing ledwiz units, it wont do anything with the other 6 files.

 

Probably not the prettiest possible solution, but it should work without any problem and wont have any negative impact on performance.

a controller without anything mapped to it don't generate ini files, so there's absolutely no issue, fill #2 and #8 and you will have ini2 and ini8 only
