        Ok, I tried medieval madness and did not have a thing. The teensy was flashing fast. The matrix cleared out from masters of the universe and not a thing just my dof toys.

          outhere. Now that I turned on the log would that show anything interesting to help this. we must be close.  I tried the other teensy strip controller Hex files 1.01 and ended back with the newest. That did not change anything.

            I know some other people had problems when they only used one data wire – they ended up switching

            And using a separate data wire for each set of lights so in your case you would use a total of 3 data Wires

            You will need to change this part of the cabinet file

            <NumberOfLedsStrip1>140</NumberOfLedsStrip1>
            <NumberOfLedsStrip2>588</NumberOfLedsStrip2>
            <NumberOfLedsStrip3>140</NumberOfLedsStrip3>
            <NumberOfLedsStrip4>0</NumberOfLedsStrip4>
            <NumberOfLedsStrip5>0</NumberOfLedsStrip5>
            <NumberOfLedsStrip6>0</NumberOfLedsStrip6>
            <NumberOfLedsStrip7>0</NumberOfLedsStrip7>
            <NumberOfLedsStrip8>0</NumberOfLedsStrip8>

              Do you know off the top of your head what colors I would use for the cat cable for the next two led strips. I believe I have orange now.  Woud I have to change anything else in my xml or dof config. I can try this. I might try cutting my jumper cable first to see if this is an issue. I can always solder another on.  Thanks again so much for your help. I could not have got this far without you. I had this all messed up.  Hope I can get this squared away so I can think about putting it all together.  Thanks Nathan

                  Thank you so much outhere!! You were right. Too many leds for 1 data line. It works and is beutiful. I have to clean up the wireing. Just hooked it up to see. Will post some videos in my cabinet build when I get back. Thanks again for the patience. I did learn something!  It looks great and I dont have the jumper on.
