Well I spent a few hours on the addressable strips Sunday and wasn’t able to get it working. I ended up with just two strips to start with, one down each playfield side with 122 leds per strip. I have right side strip being fed with power as well as the data/gnd connections, then a cable connects +, -, and data from strip one to strip two. Power is also injected again at the front of strip two.
The data line and gnd are connected to the orange/orange-white (pair 1) of the ethernet cable and that is connected to the left ethernet port on the teensy adapter as in the photo. I’ve updated the cabinet.xml including the com port, number of leds, etc.. Also updated the DOF files to R3 and unblocked. Strips do nothing. I also added the WS2811 in DOF config tool with PF Right Flashers MX on port 1 and PF Left Flashers MX on port 4.
Any ideas? I also attached my cab and global xml files. Not sure what else to try. One thought is, do my strips even work? They came straight from china….
