[RESOLVED] PinballX does not load DOF Led adressable

[Guest]

Hi,

I am not able to get led strips effect for each table on pinballx.
Leds works for basic actions like switching table or navigate into menu but when i wait on a table i do not get the effects from the dof.
Every things work fine when i play...

i have a 2 screens set up with adressable leds via wemos. 
I use dof and vpx
i have thé last  version of pbx 
 

Please find my files on attachment  and a video of my problem  

 

thank you

Did you setup the dof config tool correctly ? 

I thought for table 'pinballx' the mxeffects should be set to allrgb.

I noticed last week that the setting was gone for me. Adding it showed the animations.

I will grab some screenshots in an hour

Don't see anything weird in your config (well noticed something on your video, but will mention it later).

This is my setup in dof config tool for pinballx :

I changed some colours in the menu, so that's why they are blue highlighted
My 'PF Back PBX MX' was empty last week (default is @allrgb@) and I didn't have anything displayed as well

I assume you have setup a combined toys as well, to have multiple effects combined to 1 toy (and thats your led matrix), ?

I have created multiple, but I'm using Combo3 (I already have flashers in my cab, zo I skipped those, but up to you) 
Please note that you need PF Back PBX MX setup as a toy !

What I also noticed is that your side leds are not fully used. Is that on purpose ?
When scrolling up/down in the menu I noticed that 3/4 of your leds are highlighted instead of all the leds. Is your cabinet.xml configured correctly ?
See my video :

And if I can give you one suggestion ... Your side leds are faced up, so the leds are facing to you. I should recommend to place them side wards.
If you have a table with a lof of leds during the game, it will get annoyed if you let them face up (I also had the same with the matrix. I had it under my flashers, but made it external and with dimmed plexiglass. See my building rig post )
I hope this helps you

So, looks like nothing wrong with PBX, but more your config that needs to be checked

Hi Mike,

thank you for your answer. 
 

Good to know every is good in pbx. Should be something in the dof. I did not change anything in the dof config tool for pinballx. Maybe it is the problème. I will check tonight. I do not know if my question was clear but i am looking for the effects you got in your topper (My Led back board) when you are waiting on a game. Those are different for each game. Is it the Line PF Back PBX MX?

 

yes i use combo for my led effects.

i did not notice that only 3/4 of the sides were used... it is not from my cabinet file because it work fully during a game.

Yes it was clear. Thats why I pointed you to I the PF Back PBX MX line. Try to add it and put that new config on the cab.

There is a smal script that can download and extract the dof config. I use it on my cab and runs at startup, so always have the latest config.

Ok. It was just something I noticed from your video. I have 144 LEDs on each site and within PBX all the leds are working.

I only created a pbx_cabinet.xml, but should also work with your cabinet.xml. 

Let me know if it is working and check also the pinballX table in dof

Hey Mike it worked!!

The Line PF BACK PBX MX was filled but not set as a toy. 
 

Some table does not show effects so i need to find why. I am sure tables like ACDC or tales of arrabian nights have it so maybe a problem with the name and pinballX can t find the dof. 
 

thank you again, those led effects are great!!

 

[Mike_da_Spike]

Not all tables has an effect.

not sure how this is triggered, but if you got it working, thats awesome !

I hope your texts are showing fine as well and you don't have the 'shadows' leds that will screw up (see post only building rig)

have fun with your leds and remember my advice
