Does LED Blinky work with this version of Hyperspin?

[Charles4400]

I just got the CP built in my first cab so I may be doing things wrong, but is there a trick to get LED blinky working with the current version of Hyperspin?

I enabled LED blinky in HQ and set the path to LED blinky (as well as setup led blinky on its own end) but for the life of me there is no interaction with LED BLINKY and Hyperspin?

Any help is much appreciated....

For now trying putting ledblinky in a path that has no spaces, I fixed this in the next release, this might be your problem.

[Charles4400]

Still no luck, LED Blinky still wont run...

You were right the path in HQ was reading underscores as spaces, so I changed the name of the LED blinky folder by taking ot the undrscores and redirected the path in HQ to reflect the change but still no response of any kind.

edit you settings.ini file and scroll down to the end of file. There should be a section for ledblinky.

Cut and paste whats in your file.

[BadBoyBill]

Check the backslash on the end of the path

[Charles4400]

This is the exact path on my comp where 'LEDBlinky.exe' is located:
F:\Emulators\Programs\LEDBlinky373\LEDBlinky


This is what is in settings.ini of Hyperspin:

[LEDBlinky]
Active=true
Path=F:\Emulators\Programs\LEDBlinky373\LEDBlinky

I tried adding a backslash at the end and leaving it the way it is now....still no luck.

Here is the settings.ini I have from LedBlinky:

You problem is you dont have a backslash at end of path. It should look like this

Path=F:\Emulators\Programs\LEDBlinky373\LEDBlinky\

Edit your settings.ini file and add the backslash.

[Charles4400]

I added in the backslash but still no go...it currently loks like this:
[LEDBlinky]
Active=true
Path=F:\Emulators\Programs\LEDBlinky373\LEDBlinky\

I also double checked and copied and pasted where the actual location of ledblinky.exe was and it is definately:

F:\Emulators\Programs\LEDBlinky373\LEDBlinky

I used copy and paste to enter it into settings.ini and did not type in anything by hand other than the backslash....

Any other ideas?
