Supermodel Forum

Hi all,

Is anyone using mamehooker? I have it working with over emulators but not SM3.

I'm using r779 release and starting it with "supermodel.exe -outputs=win Roms\dayto2pe.zip -res=1024,768" with no joy. I'm sure I had it working some time ago.

supermodel.exe is set to run as admin the same as mamehooker

Hi,
I don't use Mamehooker, but my own software to read outputs from supermodel and mame.

supermodel outputs are working normally (-outputs=win). tested on rev803 and an arduino

Confirmed working 803 thanks

Hi,

I will try to use Ardulino Mega for lighting (VR, etc ..) lighting

I use the Program (Sumo.exe) Spindizzi is the creator - Thanks

So far we work, only one game (outruners) MAME
And it works badly, only the internal diode (TX) still flashes for all outputs from this game.

I uploaded this program to Ardulin, the only thing I found on the internet,
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(1, OUTPUT);
pinMode(2, OUTPUT);
pinMode(3, OUTPUT);
pinMode(4, OUTPUT);
pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
pinMode(6, OUTPUT);
pinMode(7, OUTPUT);
pinMode(8, OUTPUT);
pinMode(9, OUTPUT);
pinMode(10, OUTPUT);
pinMode(11, OUTPUT);
pinMode(54, INPUT);
pinMode(55, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
while (Serial.available() > 0) {
int pin = Serial.parseInt();
int value = Serial.parseInt();
if (Serial.read() == 'x') {
digitalWrite(pin, value);
Serial.println();
}
}
}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
Please can anyone advise how to adjust it to work properly.

I have Ardulino for 3 days and I'm just learning ..

hi,
I use 115200bauds (hardcoded) so you need to init arduino with
Serial.begin(115200);

after, just follow the pseudo code in the read me

loop until receive '='
if next character 'L' read 3 other characters (state and lamp number)
process data
output the processed data
return to main loop
if next character 'D' read 4 other characters (digit number and value)
process data
output the processed data
return to main loop

Well thank you Spindizzi

I have to create my own pseudocode to Ardulino according to the instructions in readme.txt

To make Ardulino work properly .

very simple sketch to use

you have just to use the defined variables to suit your needs (output data y to out number x)

Code: Select all

int digits=0,leds=0,leds_state=0,digit_number=0;

int ReceivedChar;


void setup()
{
Serial.begin(115200);
}


void loop()
{
if (Serial.available())
  {
  ReceivedChar = getChar();
  //delay(100);
  if (ReceivedChar == '=')
    {
    traitement_trame();
    }
  }
}


char getChar()
{
  while(Serial.available() == 0);
  return((char)Serial.read());
}

void traitement_trame()
{
  String str_leds,str_leds_state,str_digits,str_digit_number;
 
  ReceivedChar = getChar();
  switch (ReceivedChar)
  {
  case 'L':
    {
    str_leds="";
    str_leds_state="";
    str_leds_state+=getChar();
    str_leds+=getChar();
    str_leds+=getChar();
    leds=str_leds.toInt();
    leds=leds-1;
    leds_state=str_leds_state.toInt();

    // do what you want with the datas
    // leds : value 0 to 99 represents the led number
    // leds_state : state of the led (0 -> off, 1 -> on)

    break;
    }
   
  case 'D':
  {
    str_digits="";
    str_digit_number="";
    str_digit_number+=getChar();
    str_digits+=getChar();
    str_digits+=getChar();
    str_digits+=getChar();
    digits=str_digits.toInt();
    digit_number=str_digit_number.toInt();
   
    // do what you want with the datas
    // digits : value 0 to 255 (if bits=1 -> on, if bits=0 -> off)
    // digit_number : the number of the digit to use
     
    break;
    }
  }
}



Well thank you Spindizzi

Great, it works,

Thank you, for the pseudocode, it works perfectly ..

Great work, the outputs work wonderfully

VR lights move from left to right and then vice versa, exactly copying the game.

Race Loaders flashes great, I have to use stronger lights

Thanks for that Spindizzi
