      Hi Guys,   I am going crazy. I just cant seem to make this work. This is the last thing on my 1st time pinball build. I am a computer dummy and have looked at videos and threads. I am lost. I have 868 leds totoal.  140 leds down each play field and 588 on my led matrix 7 lines tall and 84 leds wide.  I am injecting data at led 1 and running through led 868. Power and ground on both sides of 140 on playfield lights and every 144 on matrix. I know it works as it passes the basic test. I modified a cabinet xml and used global config editor to open the cabinet xml and make a GlobalConfig.xml  and GlobalConfig_B2S.server.xml.   I created a new Direct Ouput config and ran Register Direct output.  I still cant get my leds to turn on when I open a vp table. I have 2 ledwizs and all the contactors, beacons, shaker and fan work great. what am I Doing wrong? The teensy does just a steady flash. I also soldered a jumper on pin 15 and 16.

                          ok, Something is happening now. I loaded bad cats and the teensy went  from a solid flash to a rapid flash. so fast almost solid. I don’t know what that means. Should I be cutting my jumper wire on the teensy to see what happens?

                            still no led show yet. Must be close. It is trying to send a signal.
