Photo Booth LED Ring Service V1.5.4 available!

LED Ring Controller

I have updated both the controller firmware and the LED ring controller service.

Most light effects now feature a background color. You now may specify a second color for swoop, blinking, countdown and auto countdown.

The new controller firmware is version 1.09, the service is version 1.5.4. You have to update both controller firmware and the service!

If you purchased an LED ring from me, please contact me for an updated configuration manual.

You may download the latest software here.

Photo Booth LED Ring Service V1.5.3 is available!

LED Ring Controller

I updated the software for the PhotoBooth LED Ring Controller. It now uses .net framework version 4.7.2. The setup has been updated to install the required .net framework versions if they are not already present.

This change should ensure a proper installation on PCs where the required .net framework versions are not already installed.

The most recent version can be downloaded here.

PhotoBooth LED Ring Service Version 1.5.2 available!

LED Ring Controller

Again, I updated the software for the PhotoBooth LED Ring Controller. The service start-up is improved. It has less dependencies and allows an initial light effect on Windows restart and resume from hibernate.

The helper application CmdLauncher.exe got a new parameter -init that will set the configured initial light effect on the LED ring.

The most recent version can be downloaded here.

PhotoBooth LED Ring Service V1.5.1 now available!

LED Ring Controller

I changed the software to control the Photobooth LED ring again. The service now allows to specify an initial light effect that is set when Windows boots. In addition, a light effect is set after the installation to check functionality.

I removed setting a light effect when starting the service. It slowed down Windows startup and doesn’t work reliably on a number of Windows 10 installations. The initial effect can be configured in the service configuration file. The effect is set during system startup. It is visible before the Photobooth App is active.

The latest version is available for download.

PhotoBooth Controller Service Version 1.5.0 available!

LED Ring Controller

I updated the Photobooth Controller Service. The service now allows to configure an initial light effect that is shown on the LED ring after the services started. This allows to check the functionality as well as to set an initial light effect before the booth application is active.

The new version may be downloaded here.

Photobooth Controller Software 1.4.8 available!

LED Ring Controller

I created a new version of my Photobooth Controller software package. The service application was further stabilized.

I also extended the setup functionality. The service will now be started automatically on successful installation. If the LED Ring is connected during the installation, the connection will be tested automatically.

The new version is available here as download.

The Buzzer at Court again!

Once more, the German Ministry of Justice celebrated a further milestone in digitizing their juridical workflows. The Minister of Justice, Herbert Mertin himself launched the new system in Bad Kreuznach by pushing a Bluetooth Buzzer.

More information on the event (in German only) is available on the website of the Ministery of Justice in Rheinland-Pfalz, Germany.

Photobooth Controller Software Version 1.4.7 available!

I created a new version of my Photobooth Controller software package. The service application was further stabilized. It is now able to automatically determine the LED ring interface port. This prevents problems caused by frequently changing COM port assignments on some Surface models.

I also extended the setup functionality. The administrative user required to run the service can now be created automatically by the setup process. The service will now be started automatically on successful installation. These changes should neutralize the traps during installation experienced by some users.

The new version is available here as download.
