dramaone - I'm afraid I don't use either Sainsmarts or addressables, so I don't have any direct experience here. But Sainsmarts and addressables both interface to Windows using virtual COM ports, so I'm guessing that DOF is getting confused about which COM port belongs to which device. From your symptoms it sounds like the commands for one device are getting sent to another device. I'll also note that DOF does auto-detection for the Sainsmart devices, but not for the addressables, so the big thing that's probably changed in your setup is that you had to add a cabinet config for the addressables, right? Maybe the solution is to explicitly add the Sainsmart devices to the cabinet config as well - the procedure is here:

http://mjrnet.org/pi...p?sid=sainsmart

Thanks Mjr, I had read through your guide a few times and my cabinet file matched how you advise setting up sainsmarts and so i assumed all was good.

It was only when I added a new device that my ordering was changed.

After getting in a total mess I exprted a new cabinet file via b2s,right clicking on the backglass of a table.

This cabinet file cured my problems atleast and my devices are in the correct order.

So I am now going to add the Addressable device in dofconfig but take your advice about removing autoconfig. I actually now dont know if autoconfig was

dominating my system or the cab file, maybe a bit of both since in the past i did have to swap the sainsmart serial numbers around in the cabinet file as the order had got mixed up however this approach didnt work this time.

To turn Autoconfig off, is it just a case of changing this <AutoConfigEnabled>true</AutoConfigEnabled> to false in the cabinet file?

This is the latter part of my cabinet file.

<OutputControllers>
    <Pinscape>
      <Name>Pinscape Controller 01</Name>
      <NumberOfOutputs>22</NumberOfOutputs>
      <Number>1</Number>
      <MinCommandIntervalMs>1</MinCommandIntervalMs>
    </Pinscape>
    <PacLed64>
      <Name>PacLed64 1</Name>
      <MinUpdateIntervalMs>10</MinUpdateIntervalMs>
      <FullUpdateThreshold>30</FullUpdateThreshold>
      <Id>1</Id>
    </PacLed64>
    <FT245RBitbangController>
      <Name>FT245RBitbangController 0</Name>
      <SerialNumber>A601AY6Z</SerialNumber>
      <Description>FT245R USB FIFO</Description>
      <Id>0</Id>
    </FT245RBitbangController>
    <FT245RBitbangController>
      <Name>FT245RBitbangController 1</Name>
      <SerialNumber>A601AXYN</SerialNumber>A601AXYN
      <Description>FT245R USB FIFO</Description>
      <Id>1</Id>
    </FT245RBitbangController>
</OutputControllers>
<ScheduledSettings />
<SequentialOutputSettings />
<TableOverrideSettings />
</Cabinet>

When I add the teensy manually from recommended output controller section such as;

<TeensyStripController>
<Name>LedStripController</Name>
<NumberOfLedsStrip1>592</NumberOfLedsStrip1>
<NumberOfLedsStrip2>0</NumberOfLedsStrip2>
<NumberOfLedsStrip3>0</NumberOfLedsStrip3>
<NumberOfLedsStrip4>0</NumberOfLedsStrip4>
<NumberOfLedsStrip5>0</NumberOfLedsStrip5>
<NumberOfLedsStrip6>0</NumberOfLedsStrip6>
<NumberOfLedsStrip7>0</NumberOfLedsStrip7>
<NumberOfLedsStrip8>0</NumberOfLedsStrip8>
<ComPortName>COM5</ComPortName>
</TeensyStripController>

Because I am not on autoconfig does the above need to have ID numbers like my other devices ?

Thankyou for the help
