Full update!

Its been a few days since I posted because long nights of wiring, coffee and playing have kept me from taking pictures. Here goes….

The rats nest for play buttons. I didn’t tidy this yet because I’m using microswitches temporarily until my leaf switches come in.

Removed the strobe control box that came with the lights and directly hooked it up to Sainsmart relay. The chattering is still there, but I notice it when the light has to “strobe” and not “flash”. I assume this is just the relay firing on and off rapidly to create the strobe. So it all sounds good =)

Update. Figured out that the Combo option on the DOF Config tool was the issue. I was attempting to put all four PF Back options on the two speaker lights, causing nothing to happen. I set it to PF Back Flashers and boom it works. Only problem was that the right speaker was completely defective and only lit two lights, the left one works…[Read more]

Okay I found the culprit for the chatter. The Sainsmart is making the noise when my strobe goes off. The strobe I got from autozone and it has a connector box that dials up the speed of the flash and the style. Two little strobes are attached to this box. I assume don’t connect the box and go straight to the lights?

Thanks for the suggestion but that didnt work. Is there a test program I can use to light the LEDs just to make sure theyre hooked up right?

Got it working. Took a minute but finally got some great effects. Didn’t realize had to jump pins 15 & 16 on the Teensy.

Testing confirms intensity makes the fan go now. Still getting a bit of chattering which I discovered is not from the contactor per se, but rather the Sainsmart board.

TerryRed I have diodes on all mechanical parts with all the stripes going in the positive direction as per the Pinscape guide.

I’m going to try a different relay to see if i…[Read more]

That did the trick. I bumped it up to 130% and boom we got game.

It happens on all tables, and the instructions on Zeb’s site say not to calibrate in Windows.

I downloaded DOF R3++ msi installer.

I didn’t even think of that. I was following mjr’s tutorial on DOF setup and just did the basics. Will test out and confirm. Thanks!
