Subject: 5.01 Error power control LPT1 [Fixed in v5.02] 22/11/2009, 19:26
In 5.01, Lane power control via LPT1 doesn't work on start of race. Lanes are never turned on unless you manually turn on the lanes by pressing the large "Power On" button in the bottom right corner. Start light outputs are ok on start. Invert is not an issue. Checkboxes show lanes are on.
When pausing or stopping a race, the red stop light never comes on (green light stays on). These are only issues with LPT1 control. Phidgets on our other track do not show these issues using the 0/0/4. All these bugs just showed up when upgrading from 4.7ish to 5.01.

I'll test again later today.... We have a race today so I can't break it!
Keep in mind... LPT1 for power and signals, Phidgets 0/16/16 for light bridge
Watching the LPT monitor, the commands are never sent to LPT1, but I can click on a pin and it will fire.
Again, no hardware or other software changes between versions. Install directory is a little odd on this machine: c:\program files\gl\pc lap counter our other machine, the install directory is c:\pc lap counter

I fixed the bug, it happend only when you use PIN 9 and probably that's why Zwiebelring and myself didn't had the problem, i will post the link to the update soon
