Dof Stops Working

[Spektre]

Eh, when it rains it pours...

 

I grabbed a new .ini file from the config tool and DOF stopped working.

 

So I went back to my old .ini file and it still didn't work. db2S is working fine and has Activate Plugins checked.

 

So at this point I decided to do a new DOF install..  I deleted my old c:\DirectOutput folder, grabbed the DOF v2 download from VPU and unzipped it.  I created a config folder within that  and placed my .ini file within in.  (I tested the .ini file with the LED tester and it passes).  For completeness sake I went and deleted my plugins folder in my Table directory and recreated it and added a shortcut to the c:/DirectOutput folder.

 

I'm getting no LEDs, contactors, nothing.

 

This had worked well on first install, so I'm at a bit of a loss as to how to trouble shoot this.  Any ideas?

 

Is there anyway to see of dB2S is finding and loading DOF?

[Spektre]

Just for giggles I redownloaded b2s and reinstalled.  No change.  db2s works fine but I'm getting nothing out of DOF.

 

I check the LEDWiz with its resident software and it is working fine.

Only way your DOF would stop working after a new config was downloaded is if you changed your setup on the tool site. Other than that maybe do a restore if you think it's your pc

[Spektre]

Understood, but what is there to change?  The files just soirt of sit in directories and you register a couple dll

 

My config on the site did change.  I added the chimes output to pins as well as the beacon.

 

Are there any debugging steps to see what db2s sees in the way of plugins, or if DOF is run?

[Spektre]

Hmmm, I do notice the new. ini file is not passing the LED tester included with DOF, but that would not explain why the old one also does not work.

[Spektre]

I guess this will remain a mystery for now.  Plugging in the old .ini file works.  Trying the newly minted ini file doesn't.

Every so often when I make changes to my config on the config tool site and I save and download the file .... when I run the table that I am adjusting it seem to be no change ... I go back to the site and look at my changes again ... sometimes I mess up but most of the time everything is fine so I just download again ... and that works. Something gets lost in the interweb along the way I guess.

On of the things that bugs me a about the tool is trying to scroll with the mouse wheel .... if you have something highlighted and try to scroll it will change that setting.

Double check the site and your settings .... make sure you are not using the legacy setting or the night mode config as both of those will render the LedWiz silent.

In your account settings, is the Ledwiz Framework set to DirectOutput?

 

If you do a text compare of the working ini to the non-working ini file, can you make sense of the change between the 2?

[Spektre]

Yes to the Direct Output setting, the only difference made to my site config was the addition of Chime and Beacon Outputs.

 

The online tool however has had many revision and the LED test tool says there are lines not formatted right.  I'll run it again and give the report back when I get back down to the cabinet.

if you have an error message with the bad mapping i can find the fault on the configs and fix it, check the dof logs, you can turn them on in the globalconfig.xml
