My Flashers dont look like a wired mess anymore and this is how i configured them. 
Every cabinet is diffrent so please make sure you configure it matching your setup. 


Explanation how MX LED Effects work by TerryRed. 
For MX Flasher the section "PF Back Flashers MX: used to emulate a real 5 RGB Flasher bar on the Back MXRGB 5 Flasher "emulation" vs Custom Animated Effects" 
is most Important. There are compromises that have to been made when using MX Flasher instead of regular RGB Flashers. 
Read this and keep it in mind.

Tha Matrix

When you got the MX Flashers from Arnoz you will have a matrix 4 pixel high and 20 pixel width. 
Connect as mention on his website maybe test with his chaser programm (can found on his discord). 


Cabinet.xml
Insert width, high, DofOutputPort an the LEDArrangment. 
All 5 Flashers = 1 Toy

ATTENTION when using the Output D4 make sure to reflash your WEMOS and tun off the Actuvity LED.


DOF ConfigTool configuration

1. Set Toy PF Back Flashers MX to your previous declred port. In my case its Port 22. 


2. Define areas on the right side. In my case it looke like this. 


Explanation what these letters are meaning can be found in the PinScape Guide and in the DOF documentation.
This is a short overview about this section in excel. For clearance the colors matching with the colors in the matrix above. 
 

Test
You cant turn each color on each flasher on and off like you can with regular RGB LEDs via PinScape Configtool. 
But TOTAN and SEGA Godzilla lit up every Flasher in a seperate color after finishing a game so theese tables are god for testing to see if there are overlapping areas.
