Hi

I have checked with medieval madness… my version doesn’t really work so i´ll stick with Indiana Jones and some others for now.

Running PinballX until Ill get that to work.

i made a few videos and took some photos… all my four LED strips are connected from one end only and not in a continuously line. Playfield L and R are connected from plunger side to backbox.

Thanks for your help

Attached a sketch on my setup and also a short movie when I play Indiana jones…
small events on left side more on the right side and nothing on the speakers…

The two strobes and the five flashers are controlled by the Pinscape via the mainboard that the Pinscape KL25-Z is situated on…

Does this sketch help? Please let me know Otherwise I’ll send more info.

Did not get to the project tonight… tomorrow we will test again.

Coming form the Teensy 3.2 board you’re using one channel for each set of lights?

If you stroll through the games right or left do the speakers light up.. (I believe Both should light up no matter which direction you go)

I’m assuming you’re using a front and like pinballx

What do the Adressable lights do when you run it straight from VP?

Like <span style=”color: #ff0000;”>Medieval Madness</span> When you shoot the ball, Do the lights on the right (144 Led’s) light up all the way down the playfield?

When you’re in a game like <span style=”color: #ff0000;”>Indiana Jones</span> the <span style=”color: #0000ff;”>speaker lights</span> should be lit up the whole time you’re in a game

Yes one channel for each light set. 1 Pfleft, 1 pfright, 1 spleft, 1 spright .

Yes I’m running from PinballX  now when testing the addressable, plan is to use pinup when it works…

When I change game with right flipper the right speaker flashes once for each press but only right side nothing when I press left button.

Have not tried direct from VP,

Blinking lights next to plunger and then the lights (144) lights up on the right side when released…

Half of the left playfield constant lit up. during gameplay

The speakers is not lit up at all during gameplay.

I will do more testing  when I get back home

Thanks

Good morning here are my files.

I have got the leds to work on playfield left and right… and the right speaker lights up when I’m navigating in the game list… like when I press a flipper button to jump to the next game it flashes in the right speaker…But during gameplay nothing.
I have tested in Indiana jones and a few others…
I think that im not using the config tool in the right way. Both playfield and speakers have addressable leds as explained above.
In the assingments page I have speakers assigned to flipper MX… Feels like Im almost there
Thanks for your time Outhere!

I’we just thought of something for my addressable leds and the setup…
When using one channel and connecting the led strips in a row you have the Connection like this…
1——PF Right——144 145—–PF Back—–289 290—–PF Left—–414    (If we assume that all three ledstrips and matrix is 144 LED strips arrangments)
It we use one channel for each that would be
Ch1, 1—-PF Right—-144
Ch2, 1—-PF Back—-144
Ch3, 1—-PF Left—-144

Or what do you guys think?
Should it not be like this?

 

Hi

I tried this (See post above ) one channel and specifying the amount of LEDs like this 1-xxx on each channel…

not in an incrementing row like this  1-2 3-4 5-6 and so on… well it did not work.

Im still trying to find my solution with config tool and combine toys…

I don’t have a PF back (I have 5 flashers and two strobes) so to have this in the first RGB line should not be necessary… that is what I have found.

I will try today to have my combo in the first line for the playfield Left combo with Beacon and strobes.

Does this sound right to any one?

Question for addressable LEDs for my speakers…

I have in my cabinet setup 1 playfield strip L and R working now…

But I also want LEDs for the Speakers… (Left and Right )

For my speakers to light up in the color of the game how would I do that?  Direct output tool seems the way to go but how?

I have the playfield on channel 1 and 2, the speakers on channel 3 and 4.  Im using a teensy 3.2 and an Octo board.

Just talked to TerryRed (Thanks TerryRed)

Future DMD is only for Future Pinball

DMDext.exe is for Pinball FX3

DMDdvice.dll is for VPX

They all have nothing to do with each other.

DMDext / Freezy 1.7.1 is for Pinup Player

For installation…

https://www.nailbuster.com/wikipinup/doku.php?id=install_guide

stick to 1.71 32 bit (x86) files for freezy…newer version has problems….but you will need 1.72 of dmdext.exe only for fx3

…install the1.71 files…but only install the dmdext.exe (which is only used for FX3) from 1.7.2.

This explained a lot for me.

Hi

interesting indeed… will test this tomorrow

Im having trubbel to set the joystick buttons in the VPX Settings page… the popup that asks for a button press when i want to change dissapers directly…

I was thinking that it might be something like this Pinscape joystick input or keyboard input…

maybee a kind Pinscape owner can post a few image of the settings on this that works for them.

I only have a Pinscape with main board and a power board.
