Conflict with DMDext when trying to configure alphanumerics (FlexDMD 1.6) #11

Closed wiesshund closed 3 years ago

wiesshund commented 3 years ago

I am not sure if it comes from the flexDMD side or the DMDext 1.8 side but it seems you can not use the external DMD extensions, without flexDMD displaying its DMD window also Which is fine for other things but not alpha numerics

You can put [table name] virtualdmd enabled = false

into dmddevice.ini, but it will not honor it the flexDMD window still appears anyways.

And this is with table with no call to flexDMD at all, so they are not loading flexDMD or anything In fact, the only way i got it to not show the flexDMD window was to have the table init flexDMD and then have the table set flexdmd show to false

The flexDMD window looks quite nice and all, but is not appropriate for a segmented LED display

i can make believe not show the fexDMD window by setting virtual dmd X and Y sizes both to 0 it is still there, but it is not visible.

So that works, but seems the wrong way to go about it

As i understand the issue you report is linked to the configuration of dmddevice. I will close for now since FlexDMD just use DMDDevice and does not interfere in anyway on its configuration.
