This is the guide I used when i first set mine up - https://www.vpforums...showtopic=36156
I believe this is what I did to the Teensy

Dang, I was hoping to wake up and find this working for TableSpane

 

I think the problem may be in your online configuration.  Did you create a second device for the Teensy?  Mine is call a WS2811-1.  This is not to be confused with the LEDWhiz which is my first device in the configuration tool.  

 

The WS2811-1 on your present setup should have two things listed.  Each of the two  occupy three lines each in the configuration tool.  All are "MX" items.  It should be 

 

Device : WS2811-1

Port 1, 2 & 3 should be PF Left Side Effects

Port 4,5 & 6 should be PF Right Side Effects

 

On your Teensy you should be using Orange and Orange/White and Blue/Blue White on plug one.  We already know you have the power correct because your blinky test is working.

Does anyone have any other ideas?  im stumped on this problem,.  would get the direction of the led's make them not work?   i was not overly 100% sure which direction i should specify ?  TopDownLeftRight etc

[Outhere]

My wires are hooked to the strip down by the flipper end of the cabinet so I use this - BottomUpLeftRight
If you're wires are hooked at the back of the cabinet then use this - TopDownLeftRight

Make sure whatever files you have in your config folder they are not in the direct output folder and vice aversa

Interesting, I'm having same/ similar problem, now Aug/Sept 2022 (newbie first build).

 

Did this ever get sorted?

 

I have: 3.2.Teensy on Octo2811, 2x 144 strips, 2x 24 speaker rings only, speaker rings are not connected while trying to get L&R strips operational in tables (do they need to be removed from cab file if not connected?).

How important is the top/ bottom up / down left / right statement in the cabinet file for the data flow when you only have strips and they are NOT daisy chained together.?

 

leds work in test mode sketch, (Teensy software flashed in as per Major Frenchy YouTube), I even get a nice colour show at very first power up, they just do not work in any games.

B2S is ok, Dof is working: solenoids, shaker and knocker no problems with sainsmart boards.

Win 10 acknowledges usb connect/ disconnect (audible), slow blink working.

Teensy is showing in COM3 in device manager.

DofLinx start up log comes up clean (no errors), fake emulator log also comes up clean.

My Cabinet.xml file is same/similar to TableSpane's example at top of this forum.

GlobalConfig appears to be the same as every example I've seen & registered successfully.

???     suggestions,

Hi Outhere, thanks for replying.

before posting files as you requested, I wanted to make sure (double, triple check) that I had not missed anything one last time.

I found 2x typo's in the cabinet.xml ( a spelling mistake in data movement for the 1st strip (bottom only has one "m") and a back slash missing from a command line)

and for some reason 90% of directoutput.ini was missing. (I'm guessing an old copy before updating toys in Dof Config Tool).

Repair,  restart --- now led's work in VPx, tested a few known tables with led effects - all good.

 

Now, (has always been) no Dof (solenoids or lights) at all in FP or FX3.

I'll check a few more things before I start asking newbie dumb questions again... apolgies up front for when I need to ask...

Moving on to DofLinx.ini and friends....
