I’ll try that in the morning. Thank you

[bjschneider93]

My wiring was hooked up correctly. I was able to verify by running the Arduino led strand test. The teensy, OctoWS2811 and led strips work fine so Im guessing I must have doc set up incorrectly. Any advice?

[bjschneider93]

still doesn't work.  I feel like I must be missing a file or something.  Where are the .ini files located and what should I bee looking for there?

[Outhere]

Are you sure Com port 3 is the right Com port

Edited by Outhere, 01 October 2017 - 07:45 PM.

[bjschneider93]

When I unplug the teensy COM3 disappears in device manager and returns when I plug it back in

[Outhere]

Sounds right

 

Did You updated and download the new files from the dof config tool website?

[bjschneider93]

I am trying to figure out right now if everything has been updated  I got the R3 beta from v pinball  but i'm not sure if i'm using the config tool correctly

[Outhere]

Without the correct files from that web page it will probably not work.... you have to set up that webpage with the hardware you have then save the configuration download the files put them in Directoutput\config folder

Do you have other dof Hardware or just the addressable LEDs?

Edited by Outhere, 01 October 2017 - 08:00 PM.

[bjschneider93]

I did a search of my computers files and I don't have a directoutputconfig.ini or ledcontrol.ini file any where  Could this be the problem?

[Outhere]

Set up that web page with the correct Hardware save the configuration download the file, Unzip it put those files in your config folder there will be more than one file after it is unziped

[bjschneider93]

only leds, the rest is PMD

[Outhere]

PMD?

[bjschneider93]

Still no luck, I feel like I am missing something  I wish the was an "Idiots Guide to LED Strips" that would take me through it step by step

Poor Mans DOF (audio tactile feedback)

[Outhere]

What is PMD

[bjschneider93]

Do you think I should start over?  

[Outhere]

No

After you start a game did you right click the back glass and at the bottom of the new window that says plugins that has to be checked

Yes, I've checked that

This is what I have in my direct output folder
