flipper_cradle not working

[David Gamboa]

Flipper cradle isn't working for me in MPF/GMC using a keyboard. Monitor shows the keys being held down but flipper_cradle event never posts. i can manually post the event flipper_cradle by setting it to a keyboard key and that works to pause the attract mode. Im new to MPF/GMC and have been following the tutorial but this has been the only issue so far. Any advice?

I should also mention im on Dev9

heres the code in the gmc config

[keyboard]

1=["switch", "s_trough_ball_1", "active"]

2=["switch", "s_trough_ball_2", "active"]

3=["switch", "s_trough_ball_3", "active"]

4=["switch", "s_trough_ball_4"]

5=["switch", "s_trough_ball_5"]

6=["switch", "s_trough_ball_6"]

enter=["switch", "s_start"]

a=["switch", "s_left_flipper"]

d=["switch", "s_right_flipper"]

b=["event", "flipper_cradle"]

m=["event", "flipper_cradle_release"]

and the code from switch config

switches:

  s_right_flipper:

    number:

    tags: flipper_right

  s_left_flipper:

    number:

    tags: flipper_left

  s_start:

    number:

    tags: start

[Anthony van Winkle]

The built in flipper events reference the tags "left_flipper" and "right_flipper", while your tags are "flipper_left" and "flipper_right". Correcting the tags should set you straight!
