smartone1971 Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 SOLVED : not sure what i did, removed everything that had to do with the addressable leds reinstalled it right down to the teensy firmware and bam it worked!! Hello guys I am hoping someone can help me with this. I have a cab with led buttons that are working just fine with the Ledwiz. I also have a teensy3.2with octo board hooked to sw2812b leds wired to the orange wire for data and white for ground. with pins 15 and 16 soldiered together. the 144 leds have 62 on the right side and 62 on left side of play field. I have configured the teensy with all three of the TeensyStripController firmware's at different times on com 3 which is where the teensy is connected. I have tried 3 different usb ports and 2 different cables. when I test it DOF configuration tester all the leds turn on red. I even bought new leds in the last week hoping they where bad but no luck. I have followed mame in a boxes addressable led video and read just about every post on the forums about this and I cant figure it out. I have been trying to get these to work for about 6 months now. please ,please. please can someone give me some suggestions. I am attaching my cabinet, config file and dof report here also. thank you in advance. GolbalConfig.xml DirectOutput.log Cabinet.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wil change the cabinet.xml file to match and see if that helps. oh, I also used a different browser and redid my setup in DOF config tool and tried the new .ini files and no joy. Im at my wits end on this. any help from you or anyone else is greatly appreciated!!

smartone1971 Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 oh and I also tried different usb ports. I also read the usb hubs sometimes cause problems and remove the one I had installed and no change. sorry just tried to think of everything I did so far before it gets asked.

outhere Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 The Cabinet file that you posted, The amount of lights and starting number don't make any sense What hardware are you all using for DOF? Whatever hardware you have set up on the DOF config tool website are the files you should download and use Other files from the net Won't exactly match your set up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smartone1971 Posted February 5, 2020 Author Share Posted February 5, 2020 yeah sorry posted the wrong file. I get that im grasping at strays here just trying to get it figured out. I removed everything in the DOF config tool and reset it up with my Ledwiz and my addressable leds right PF and left PF put those files in the config folder. tonight I changed the leds to the blue pair on the cat5 and reconfigured the cab file. still no luck. the led wiz works fine so I know DOF is working. last night I reinstalled DOF and DOFlinx . to make sure they where the newest ones.Cabinet.xml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outhere Posted February 5, 2020 Share Posted February 5, 2020 For the hell of it - Post a picture of your DirectOutputdirect output folder and config folder This is what used when I first set mine up ---- https://www.vpforums.org/index.php?showtopic=36156 I believe this is the one I am using -- TeensyStripController Firmware Beta V1.02 2.1.16 13:51 You tried both sides of the OCTO2811 board? The light on the teensy board does it blink real fast when it should be doing something or is it pretty much a slow blink Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have not try the other side of the octo board yet but I will tonight. when I run the directoutputconfigtester the light flashes very fast. but blinks slow when I try to run a table.
