This looks realy cool! I dont know if i can use it in the future, but greate work @alexp !

Demo video:

@THRobinson ahhahaha, I also got new parts for mine, and are also in a box :D

@elbirk thanks !!

Hello, we recently identified a bug in the ControlBlock driver. I am very sorry for that!
Your observations see to match the symptoms caused by that. We released an update yesterday and that should also fix your problems.

Has anyone figured out how to use LEDspicer with MAME to automate which buttons are used per ROM? I have LEDspicer running but can not for the life of me figure this out.

@SigmaX what OS are you running in the Pi3 ?

@cyperghost Excellent ! And thanks, I'll try it :)

@douga as @tba mentioned, the scientific term is PEBKAC.

Finally got the switch yesterday and installed. eBay listing said it was a latching switch but it ended up being a momentary. I wasn't able to put the switch on the side like I wanted since it was too long and wide and would interfere with the GPIO pins.

This was really the only place I could put it.

I have the led ring setup to be on when the pi is on and off when power is off.

For anyone installing an led on their Pi 3+, I found that pin 8 (GPIO 14) used for power is set to low(power off) by default on newer versions of the OS, I'm on Linux 9 stretch from the image I got with 4.4.1. To enable it you need to add the following line to /boot/config.txt

enable_uart=1

Ok, thank you @barrymossel

@nowun said in <SOLVED!> Retropie with C4 labs galaxy LED case mod.:

@clyde Thank you! That worked perfectly. I added "sudo python /home/pi/caseled/galaxy.py &" in before emulationstation and it boots up like a charm pre loaded with the settings I edited the script for the LED's.

If the script doesn't need administrative rights, you can omit the sudo before the command. It adds a tiny yet easily done bit of security to your system.

I'm using a Pac-Drive from Ultimarc for my LED buttons. @savetheclocktowr made a controller software for some nice sequencing effects. It's not needed for permanent lighting, the Pac-Drive will do that out-of-the-box in Retropie.

@meideolian Hello! This is forum for the support of Retropie - is this LED in a build? An arcade box? What problems are you having with your retropie build? Are you controlling the LEDs with the Pi?
