Service Mode on Targeted Display

[Brian Smith]

I have a multi-display system with two displays on MPF v56 branch

In config.yaml I have:

displays:

display_red:

width: 1024

height: 600

display_blue:

width: 1024

height: 600

display_both:

width: 2048

height: 600

default: true

and:

slides:

base_slide:

widgets:

- type: display

source_display: display_red

width: 1024

height: 600

x: left

anchor_x: left

- type: display

source_display: display_blue

width: 1024

height: 600

x: right

anchor_x: right

I have service in the modes list and the widget_styles defined as:

# additionally you need to define some slide styles which are used in the mode

widget_styles:

medium:

font_name: Arial

font_size: 40 # for LCDs you need to increase this to 30-40. also change the font above

adjust_top: 1

adjust_bottom: 1

small:

font_name: Arial

font_size: 32 # for LCDs you need to increase this to 30-40. also change the font above

adjust_top: 2

adjust_bottom: 3

I need to get the service mode to show up on the display_red target, right now when service mode loads it is just showing a blank screen with no text on it what-so-ever.

Any thoughts?  Appreciate the help.

I am not sure if widgets are the same. But for displays, you can use:

Target: display_red

To target slide you just add this under slide player. Can likely do it under widget player as well.

This works great for all the slides that I have created. But the service mode slides in particular aren’t showing.  I am not sure where those are generated from and the best way to override or set their target.

Still stuck on this issue, willing to offer a bug bounty if someone has multiple screens and was able to get service mode to work on the 56x ish branch

It should allow you to overwrite the stuff that you need. I would reference the following example for High Scores and then apply this same logic:  High Scores - The Mission Pinball Framework If you search for _overwrite in that file you will see how under each section you want to change you can add that to "_overwrite: true" and use your stuff instead.

So that you don't have to recreate everything from scratch, you should be able to copy from this file:   https://github.com/missionpinball/mpf/blob/0.56.x/mpf/modes/service_dmd/config/service_dmd.yaml That will give you the basics that you should have to get started. From there you will just need to add the target under the slide_player section to go to your specific display.

Hope that helps (and works!)
