I just picked up an LED OCD board for my Spiderman. The guy I bought the SM from put in standard CT 2 SMD bulbs in the whole game and many of them ghosted badly. I love how the board has eliminated the ghosting.

I am having an issue that I can't seem to figure out. All the bulbs are the same standard bulbs. A lot of the inserts have a nice ramp and look like traditional bulbs. However, other inserts flash at double the speed they should and don't have the nice ramp. I've messed around with the delay and ramping pattern and nothing seems to change the fact that they go through the ramp procedure twice as fast. The worst offenders are the red and white spider inserts under Doc Ock, the Extra Ball insert, the H-E-R-O inserts, and all of the center hero/villian mode inserts. Anyone have any ideas?

Quoted from herg:

Have you tried the procedure at the bottom of this page?
http://ledocd.com/usage_led.html

Yep, I tried that. Overall the light is just brighter at the beginning of the ramp, as you'd expect. The lamp still runs through the ramp cycle twice as fast as the others.

Edit: I played around with the settings some more, then set them back to default. Now the game operates as it should while playing a game. I put in the ramp pattern you recommended for the white spider inserts and the villians and it took care of the strobing.

However, my original issue is still present only during attract mode. It isn't a huge deal but it does look kind of funny.

My settings are all on the default level 7 except for the villain inserts and the white spiders, which are on the custom ramp you have posted on your website. If I use the stern menu lamp tests, all lamps behave normally. They also behave normally during gameplay. It's only attract mode. Since I feel you might ask, it didn't act like this before I installed the LED OCD board.

If this becomes too much of a hassle I'll just let it ride as-is. I appreciate your assistance and am very happy overall with the purchase of the board.

It appears that the ramp up/ ramp down cycle on these lights is running twice as fast as it should. I get two flashes of peak brightness on some inserts during attract mode for every one hit of peak on the majority of inserts. They ramp up and ramp down, but at twice the speed. Again, this is only during attract mode and not during gameplay.

Most of my lights are: 7 LED 85% 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 85 2
I have changed the villians and white spiders to: 40 48 48 60 75 75 90 100 3

Quoted from herg:

Rather than continue to tie up this thread, I'm going to send you a PM. Basically, I'm not sure what you're seeing at the moment, and the questions I'm asking are an attempt to narrow the problem down.

To wrap up my issue, after watching some video of other SMs in attract mode, those lights just flash twice as fast as other insert lights. This was not an issue with the LED OCD board. Thanks for the support, Herg!
