DirectOutput framework for virtual pinball cabinets WIP
|
Go to: Overview |
The LedWiz is a easy to use outputcontroller with 32 outputs which all support 49 pwm levels with a PWM frequency of approx. 50hz. The LedWiz is able to drive leds and smaller loads directly, but will require some kind of booster for power hungery gadgets like big contactors or motors. More...
Public Member Functions | |
| override void | Update () |
| Updates all outputs of the LedWiz output controller. Signals the workerthread that all pending updates for the ledwiz should be sent to the physical LedWiz unit. More... | |
| override void | Init (Cabinet Cabinet) |
| Initializes the LedWiz object. This method does also start the workerthread which does the actual update work when Update() is called. This method should only be called once. Subsequent calls have no effect. More... | |
| override void | Finish () |
| Finishes the LedWiz object. Finish does also terminate the workerthread for updates. More... | |
| void | Dispose () |
| Disposes the LedWiz object. More... | |
| LedWiz () | |
| Initializes a new instance of the LedWiz class. More... | |
| LedWiz (int Number) | |
| Initializes a new instance of the LedWiz class. More... | |
Static Public Member Functions | |
| static List< int > | GetLedwizNumbers () |
| Gets the numbers of the LedWiz controllers which are connected to the system. More... | |
Protected Member Functions | |
| override void | OnOutputValueChanged (IOutput Output) |
| This method is called whenever the value of a output in the Outputs property changes its value. Updates the internal arrays holding the states of the LedWiz outputs. More... | |
| virtual void | Dispose (bool disposing) |
| Releases unmanaged and - optionally - managed resources. More... | |
 Protected Member Functions inherited from DirectOutput.General.Generic.NamedItemBase | |
| virtual void | AfterNameChange (string OldName, string NewName) |
| virtual void | BeforeNameChange (string OldName, string NewName) |
| virtual void | OnPropertyChanged (string propertyName) |
| virtual void | OnPropertyChanging (string propertyName) |
Properties | |
| int | Number [get, set] |
| Gets or sets the number of the LedWiz. The number of the LedWiz must be unique. Setting changes the Name property, if it is blank or if the Name coresponds to LedWiz {Number}. More... | |
| int | MinCommandIntervalMs [get, set] |
| Gets or sets the mininimal interval between command in miliseconds (Default: 1ms). Depending on the mainboard, usb hardware on the board, usb drivers and other factors the LedWiz does sometime tend to loose or misunderstand commands received if the are sent in to short intervals. The settings allows to increase the default minmal interval between commands from 1ms to a higher value. Higher values will make problems less likely, but decreases the number of possible updates of the ledwiz outputs in a given time frame. It is recommended to use the default interval of 1 ms and only to increase this interval if problems occur (Toys which are sometimes not reacting, random knocks of replay knocker or solenoids).

| Properties inherited from DirectOutput.Cab.Out.OutputControllerBase | |
| virtual OutputList | Outputs [get, set] |
| Contains the OutputList object for the outputs of the output controller. More... | |
| Properties inherited from DirectOutput.General.Generic.NamedItemBase | |
| string | Name [get, set] |
| Name of the named item. Triggers BeforeNameChange before a new Name is set. Triggers AfterNameChanged after a new name has been set. More... | |
| Properties inherited from DirectOutput.General.Generic.INamedItem | |
| string | Name [get, set] |
| Gets or sets the name of the item. Must fire the BeforeNameChange and AfterNameChange events when the value of the property is changed. More... | |
| Properties inherited from DirectOutput.Cab.Out.IOutputController | |
| new string | Name [get, set] |
| Name of the IOutputController. This property is fully implemented in the abstract OutputControllerBase class. More... | |
| OutputList | Outputs [get, set] |
| OutputList containing the IOutput objects for a IOutputController. More... | |

The LedWiz is a easy to use outputcontroller with 32 outputs which all support 49 pwm levels with a PWM frequency of approx. 50hz. The LedWiz is able to drive leds and smaller loads directly, but will require some kind of booster for power hungery gadgets like big contactors or motors.
The DirectOutput framework does fully support the LedWiz and can control up to 16 LedWiz units.
The framework can automatically detect connected LedWiz units and configure them for use with the framework.
The LedWiz is made by GroovyGameGear and can by ordered directly on GroovyGamegears website, but also from some other vendors.
This unit was the first output controller which was widely used in the virtual pinball community and was the unit for which the legacy vbscript solution was developed. The DirectOutput framework replaces the vbscript solution, but can reuse the ini files which were used for the configuration of the tables. Please read ledcontrolfiles for more information.
The current implementation of the LedWiz driver uses a separate thread for every ledwiz connected to the system to ensure max. performance.
