Hollywood Posted April 22, 2017 Share Posted April 22, 2017 Anybody have a good link for a power supply that will work well with all these addressable leds? Right now I only have a small power supply for testing and I want to make sure that isn't part of the problem I am having. Thanks, Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Ok. I have used a jumped ATX power supply to ensure that I have enough power for these led strips. I have the 5 volt power going to the red wire on the led strip. The ground from the power supply is going to the white wire. The green wire is hooked up to the orange and white twisted wire from the CAT6 cable. There is a spare red and white wire on the led strip that I am not using and I assume that is to splice in extra power on the additional strips. Right now I am only testing 1 metre length. I have used thick wire and the wire is not the solid type but the threaded wire type. I have hooked up to the end of the led strip that used to have the female type plug on it until I cut it off (I believe that would be the input side). When I power up the power supply some of the leds light up in different colours. Some blink intermittently and some remain unlit. When I load up a table, my teensy starts blinking rapidly like data is being processed. However I get no results on the led strip except for the random lights. I think I have it hooked up wrong or bad power or something. Any ideas?

outhere Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Only the CAT6 orange is hooked up to the green wire The CAT6 white and orange wire is hooked to the ground The light strip is marked with arrows to show the signal flow direction Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 So no ground wire from the power supply gets connected to anything? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
outhere Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 The way you describe everything seems right but when you talked about hooking up the Cat 6 wires it sounded like you had both those little wires hook to the green Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hollywood Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Is it possible for you to post a picture of your set up so I can make sure I am doing this right? Thanks again for your help. Lance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karlson18 Posted April 24, 2017 Share Posted April 24, 2017 Hi hollywood, think your cabinet.xml is wrong your led-stripe had 144 led under ledstripecontroller section on the playfield left section your first led number is 657. Please change the numberofledsstripe1 from 144 to 801 think you have 801 led on all stripes. Your GlobalConfig_B2SServer.xml have an entry <TableconfigFilePatterns /> and a <IniFilesPath /> that seems to be wrong delete these entrys or change it to <IniFilesPath><IniFilesPath/> <TableConfigFilePatterns><TableConfigFilePatterns /> same entry in GlobalConfig_PinballX.xml Greetings karlson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
karlson18 Posted April 25, 2017 Share Posted April 25, 2017 here the wireing please check if the used cable on the the left side of the plug. On my wireing it was the green one i had to use. Greetings Karlson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider TerryRed Posted May 22, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted May 22, 2017 OK. So after I updated the config file for addressable led shapes in DOF R3, and then me pestering poor Arngrim.... DOF Config Tool now supports the use of Letter and Number "Shapes" for addressable leds in VP. Here's a very quick demo of how they are used to do a simple 5 RGB flasher replacement with letters. Examples are "TOTAN" for Tales of Arabian Nights, "MAGIC" for Theatre of Magic, "DEAD" for walking Dead. I'll have a demo for full addressable led effects that make use of this new feature. It'll be my first DOF'ing for VP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider TerryRed Posted May 23, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted May 23, 2017 I said it was coming... AC/DC LE for VPX. Such an amazing table. Gorgeous. I think it deserves something special.... how about some cool new addressable leds matrix effects, animation, letters and words that appear for almost everything throughout the table events. I present to you...my 1st ever DOF mod for a VP table. The AC/DC cabinet "FIRE" edition! I added in all the DOF for addressable leds, as well as a couple of beacon and FIRE button functions! (Arngrim already had the normal DOF stuff done) Some effects included are: - animated effects for the electric spinner, - animated effects for the bell - letters that light up (with effects) for each target (AC/DC, TNT, ROCK) and the AXE rollovers - animated effects and the word "FIRE" that show up when the cannon is ready to fire - side rail effects for each ramp - bumper and slingshot effects - side rail effects for drain - 5 flasher emulation on the side strips, positioned where they are on the playfield Here is a video demonstration a bunch of gameplay in my cabinet. You've never seen a VP table look quite like this..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambo3 Posted May 25, 2017 Share Posted May 25, 2017 Very nice yohooo, lettersupport I'm really liking these LED-strips more and more. They're absolutely overkill, and they're pure and bright. Hey, Arngrim, if you're reading this: just got Hue-support briefly working in DOF now. Had to finish some apartment stuff before going back to the pincab. Latency isn't as precise as the LED-strips (50-200ms), but it isn't that far off a SainSmart USB-device either so not bad considering it's wireless.

KiwiBri Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 Hi Guys.. so, I finally got to doing this mod. I soldered the header pins on the Teensy board and to the octo board.. (yeah, I should have ordered the one with the socket! lol! ) This was the finest level of soldering I have ever done. I had to buy a magnifine glass to check the joints yesterday! lol! Very nervous that the software config is daunting and what of I broke the hardware I wouldnt know where any fault would lie! agh! So I found some posts on VPF.. I really wish I found THIS thread first. There is MUCH more information here and it pretty much covers what I stumbled across reading the DOF framework guide, the Teensy Wiki guide etc. I have the Pinscape Expansion boards as well, as most people in the guides have other ones so that also was getting me confused. Long story short.. got one strip working at 3am this morning! Wheee heee! I pretty much stumbled through the config files and saw the first 20 or so LEDs light up on the strip when I ran the DOFTester .exe I'm not really sure what that is used for actually but then I saw the option to install the DOF plugin for PinballX, Did that and then saw my RGBs firing.. a few fixes of my Cabinet.xml file , I got the LED strip firing in the menu in PinballX ! Hooray! It feels almost like a "Rite Of Passage" in the cab building process!! Now to wire up the other strip and figure out which is Cabinet Left vs Cabinet Right and then figure out how to best mount them. Is there a decent way to do this for Cab's with TVs in routed slots? I think a few of you guys routed another channel, but I want to avoid that. Any tips or pointers or ideas appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To cut down on that and also to make it so you can't even see the led strips when they are off.... I had a custom piece of tinted plex-glass (5mm) made for the back matrix. That alone wasn't enough, so I needed to add window tint to the front of the plex-glass. I put on 20% tint. This combined with the plex-glass tint was perfect and hid the leds completely until they light up. Now I want to do the same for the sides, but I don't know if I can get plexi-glass cut that small and long. TerryRed, were you able to find something to cover up the shelf tracks?

No. They are still exactly as you see them. You can buy different types of led strip channeling (straight,angled,etc) online that have covers for the channeling that are clear or diffused. These however are more expensive than what I used. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume you put it so the LEDS face out across the cab rather than facing up? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rambo3 Posted June 2, 2017 Share Posted June 2, 2017 One recommendation; take care of your eyes. Use sunglasses, look through the camera of your phone if you have to stare or something. I'm not kidding, don't even dare staring at those. I just put a cover on top and watched the indirect light from the wall in the end, and did recordings using the phone to watch how the LEDs were lighting up.

I also put the led strips on a small strip of backboard (that's non-conductive) and then inserted that into the "metal" channels. This kept the strips from shorting out, and also from being too deep into the channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would need to trim this down. to the correct width. It also looks like I may have to trim off a few LEDs from the end of the strip to have it fit . The shelf rail wont go all the way down to the lockdown bar as the glass would get too close as I have a tight angle there. Right now, i have pulled everything off now that its set up and will re install when I and finishing up my build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider TerryRed Posted September 10, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted September 10, 2017 A day of greatness is upon us.... DOFLinx will soon support triggering "any" DOF device and command. This means that finally.... addressable leds (MX), will work with Future Pinball and Pinball FX2! Here's a coming soon "reveal" video I made.... "Let there be light!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermario0523 Posted December 11, 2017 Share Posted December 11, 2017 I for the life of me cannot figure out what is going wrong with my addressable setup. I've tried just about ever solution everybody has recommended... and the closest result I have gotten is the LEDs will all turn on full white when the table initializes (as the LED on the teensy rapidly blinks), but that's it. and they stay on even when table is exited. I've gone over my code many a time and still no luck. I can confirm I am using correct comport. I've actually bypassed the Octo board at this point and am wiring straight to the teensy... with the daughter board, I got absolutely zero feedback on the lights. Even accounting for the difference in 568A and 568B CAT5 cable. *Everything* else works, solenoids, RGB flashers, strobe, etc... just these addressables are presenting an issue. Below are Cabinet, GlobalConfig, and Log files. I appreciate any and all help and tips in advance... thank you!

Westworld Posted December 12, 2017 Share Posted December 12, 2017 Settings looks good for me - given you have only 20 LED's in the strip. Beside that mine look similar, just I don't set the timeout - I do not have <ComPortTimeOutMs>200</ComPortTimeOutMs> in my file. but this should not matter, as 200 is the default setting if not used. As the LEDs become white and then go off, maybe power supply issue? If you have only 20 LED's, you could charge them directly from the Teensy (5V pin), which get's its power via USB. That is not a solution forever of course, just for testing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermario0523 Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 I've found the solution!!!!! So in bypassing the octo board (which I never got to work at all), I neglected one operation.... Which I found commented in the code for BASICTEST in Arduino... Connect pin 15 and 16 together but not to anything else. That IMMEDIATELY solved the problem and got my LEDs working!
