All,
I am sure this is on my end but I can’t figure out why I am getting strange patterns using the addressable LEDs. I used attack from mars as an example since Terry showed a video of his working. I am attaching a video of it working along with my cabinet config xml any help would be much appreciated. All Leds work I have confirm using a Arduino test pattern.

First of all your matrix build looks very nice!
I would guess you either didnt setup the number of led’s in config file for dof or if you did perhaps you didnt set them up correctly? double check the configuration of leds in your dof configuration file

Cant take credit for any of it….was purchased from Zeb…He does great work however

Is the configuration more than the cabinet.xml file and dof web files?

I’m guessing this is your problem…
<LedStripArrangement>BottomUpAlternateRightLeft</LedStripArrangement>
You probably have to select a different arrangement for how your have yours setup.

So these are LED panels is there a test to know which arrangement to use?

BottomUpAlternateRightLeft
Not “test”…. so you need to figure out which one you need. Did Zeb provide you with a cabinet.xml or a reference to use for configuring it?
The only other method would be to try each setting I linked until you find one that works.

Yeah I’m sure zeb could provide the configuration for this if he provided the hardware. Just send him a email and ask or just count the leds note direction they are wired up and set up in config it yourself but zeb should have the info

<p style=”padding-left: 30px;”>Well he did but i don’t think he was entirely sure how the xml is read by DOF I will plug and chug hopefully I find a match</p>

So I have tried every combo on the DOF site. Unfortunately none of them look exactly right are there other things that can be changed?

Should Any of the following be changed in DOF

I believe the problem your having is related to a cabinet.xml configuration problem. In that xml file you need to setup your total led’s, and direction they run.

So by my count the matrix is 8 Pixels High and 56 Across I have tried inserting all 16 LED Enumeration Values (i.e.BottomUpAlternateRightLeft) None of the value seems to make the correct pattern are there any other values I can change on the cabinet xml?

I do not know how your leds are wired but looking at your video it looks like you are telling the cabinet.xml that the matrix is actually right side or left side and effects your seeing are for side martian lights (single row) so it displays on matrix completely wrong. are you installing side addressable led’s? very important to know how its made, wired, order and direction and then you can set it up in cabinet.xml

I am installing side addressable leds those seem to be working correct based on the fact when the Pinball is parked in the shooter lane the lights flash back and forth at the end but the matrix is definitely goofy, but I am not quite sure what to change if none of those 16 values fix it

Ok so both sides work thats great! so your matrix is wired how? right to left down to up in the 8 rows then continue to left side?
From video it looks like your matrix is wired up down right to left but im guessing. if left and right sides are working then its simply the direction for matrix you have not setup right in xml
