On my DW im getting a little ghosting on the second chance insert and doctor #1 in the speaker panel.

Ramping up and down of the flashing inserts during attract mode is exceptional.

Its not terrible.

The LEDs are lightyears ahead of what they were without the ledocd. Its impressive!

What adjustments should i make?

Or should i just put in non ghosting bulbs in those locations?

Im already running the doctor who preset from the website.

I might have to get the giocd to enable gi dimming. But so far i dont miss it and basically have never used it.

Quoted from herg:

The CSV files on the website do not contain any settings. They are only for mapping insert names to lamp locations so you can easily tell which lamp is which in the software.
Assuming you didn't make any changes to the settings manually, you will be running the defaults as defined in the PC software. Those defaults work well with normal LEDs, and you shouldn't need non-ghosting. Setting the brightness too high on a lamp can cause ghosting on the adjacent lamp column. Having incandescent bulbs can also sometimes cause ghosting within the same row or column.
If you don't have any incandescent bulbs in the lamp matrix (the start button is a common one that gets missed), try turning down the brightness. If that doesn't fix it, you likely have a problem that is not typical ghosting. A short or other problem can look like ghosting, but the LED OCD settings cannot do anything to correct those kinds of errors.

its a minor issue.

no incandescents in the entire game.
I like the brightness where its at.
no shorts, complete new high end restore. complete wiring and connector rebuild, ohmed and tested.

Ill look at the settings and tweak it a bit.

Thanks herg for the advice!

Rough flickering ramping-up while a lamp is fading in looks like ghosting, its not, lol.

On Doctor Who, setting profile 7 which is the default to 80 percent brightness and delay of 2 seems to be much better.

I tried lots of combinations including adjusting individual lamps.

But the default with a tiny adjustment is quite good.

Something about the 2smd bulbs and the over-all flash rate of the game makes a few of the lamps ramp up a little rough.
I tried delays of 4 or 5 or 6. A setting of 2 smoothed out the roughness.

At 85% brightness a couple lamps ghost slightly but lowering the over-all brightness to 78-80 fixes it pretty good.

So for now Im even more pleased with the result.

Quoted from Rdoyle1978:

Crap, I did not realize setting brightness too high can cause ghosting! That is a MAJOR tip!

Yep.

I played with it for a couple hours.

Its kinda fun!

Probably more can be done on doctor who.

If i find some better settings ill post them.

But for now its really close.

Probably close enough lol.

If you find some better settings please post them.

One thing i found out is that the doctor numbers on the playfield are tied exactly to the doctors on the speaker panel. They are the same setting.

I couldn't find the ball save led in the mix but it wasn't a priority.

Quoted from Pinball_Eddie:

Greetings everyone, hope everyone is doing great and staying safe.
New to the OCD boards, got an LED AND GI ordered and haven’t gone through this entire thread yet so apologies if this is already documented somewhere, but if the Dropbox is still open that houses the config\profiles, could someone add me?
I sent a message to Matt but see by his activity that he hasn’t been here since April so I figured I’d ask since everybody added should be an admin?
Just send me a message and I’ll provide my Dropbox email.
Thanks

The profiles give names to the settings, they do not adjust the game, but they are really spot on in general without any adjustments needed.

However there are a couple adjustments to the settings one can make on the OCD board, something like enabling all 5 strings.

here are the profiles:

Quoted from Pinball_Eddie:

Thanks so much, I really appreciate the help and the feedback in my other thread. All that’s left is placing my order at Comet oh yeah and finishing my restore LOL

Youre welcome.

I installed the LEDOCD board in my Funhouse, its awsome!

I do think the red bundled cable set to the driver board could be a half to 1" longer.

Its a very tight fit.

My advice, wire it up before bolting the board down.

Properly mounted so that the backbox bolts are still accessible, and you can get a drill to install the screws in, the red cable will be slightly taught. A little too taught, but workable.

Quoted from MydknyteStyrm:

Installed a LEDOCD on my Data East Crypt, and I’m getting feedback like a busy bee buzzing as the inserts light up. I installed an alternate power supply for the usual DE hum problem. I was wondering if I attached the two ground wires from the LEDOCD into my alternate power would that solve the buzz?

Maybe add a ground loop isolator the the sound system?
