Hey there,

 

So I've got my setup done, tested, and confirmed working on pretty much everything but Ultradmd - i have a PinDMDv3, which I read uses the Teensy board somehow, and I also have a standalone Teensy/Octo Ws2811 board installed. I've confirmed both work, and when using rom-based VPX tables, everything loads fine. When I try to load a table that uses UltraDMD, it generates a "Pindmd not found" error. I assume there is something in the Ultradmd that is set to autodetect - is there a setting anyone knows of that can be changed so it just looks at the port I want it to and nothing else? 

 

Any help would be awesome, been looking forward to getting my table set with "100% compatibility" and this is one of the last things that needs to be done :)

From what i've seen. "Pindmd not found" is usually in reference to a set of pinDMD config files that is missing for that table. 

 

The UltraDMD tables include a folder that goes into the Tables folder along with the .vpx and .directb2s files.  The popular Goldorak table includes a folder called Goldorak.UltraDMD.

 

Id check that first, may have nothing to do with your teensy.

In the setup file for UltraDMD change the com port assignment away from the physical one being used by the teensy.  You're probably trying to load 2 devices to the same serial port.
