Hi again folks. Thanks so much for the help so far. This time I think I’m stumped.
Using Teensy 3.2, cat5 cables, and four Addressable RGB strips. Left PF, Right PF, both at 59 LEDS each. The third and fourth are 32 LED rings that are in the speaker grills.
These two, I connected to the second CAT5 cable Orange and Blue. So my Teensy has two CAT5 cables, the top one Orange and Blue controlling the Playfield, and the bottom one controlling the two speakers (reason being I had a long CAT5).
Playfield strips work perfectly. In the DOF Config Tool I assigned the speakers to use all the Back setups (Strobe, Effects, Beacon and Flash) in a Combo3. I also assigned them to different ports.
So during all tests I get the Playfield working but nothing on the speaker lights. Power supply is good at 5v and all trace wire tests are good. Cant figure out if its a port assignment, or something I’m missing.
Attached is my Cabinet.xml and an image of my DOF Config
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!-- This config file will set up two addressable LED strips orange on the left and blue on the right. Each is 59 long and have the distal LED as the first in the array -->

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?

Yes there is some sort of test program but I have no idea what it is, I have never used it..
I’m assuming you wired the speakers the same as the strips..
Did you double check to make sure you have voltage at the speaker lights?

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 perfectly. A new one is being shipped. Thanks so much for your help.
