Hi All

I'm hoping the answer is yes as this is exactly what I need for my bartop.

I believe I've installed everything correctly but am having issues getting things to run.

If I run ledspicerd -d or ledspicerd -v all is good.

If I run ledspicerd -e I get the options to select the elements I want to light. The strange bit is they don't actually light until I've done q to exit.

I can go in and pick a few elements, press q and exit and they all light up fine. If I go back in a select r then q they all turn off. However, none of them light up in real time, only when I q to exit.

Other than that I can't get any of the lights to work. I've created a nes.xml with 2 buttons lit. I've tried typing emitter LoadProfile nes but nothing happens.

I've tried with the service running as root and also by manually starting the daemon. Nothing I do will get the lights to light up. I've tried installing the Attractmode plugin to see if I can trigger it that way but no joy.

Hopefully someone can provide some help. I dismantled my PC driven arcade (using LEDBlinky) thinking I could recreate it with a Pi 4 but I can't get past this at the moment.

As stated, I'm running a Pi 4, RetroPie 4.8 with Attractmode as the front end. I'm using an UltimarcUltimate I/O.

Oh and if I try and view the logs I don't get any useful info, it says something like binary file match and that's it.

If someone is monitoring this, any help would greatfully apprecited. I'm going to post on the Facebook page a well in the hope someone sees this, apologies if you think I'm harrassing you.
