LED Light Strips

Having issues with wiring up the strips that came with the V-core 4 kit. Granted I am using solid core Cat6. But that should mater for testing. Plus I don't have the proper wire on hand. Any thoughts? Ground is going to ground and hot is going to hot. I'm not missing something stupid where theres a toggle for turning the lights on?

Maybe check the "Miscellaneous" section of the dashboard? I added my Caselight manually, might be something there in vc4 automagically

## Chamber Lighting - HE1 Connector (24V)
[output_pin caselight]
pin: PA3
pwm:true
shutdown_value: 0
value:0.25 #the brightness at startup (0-1)
cycle_time: 0.01

Did you plug the lights in the same spot as the guide? Just trying to figure out what pins I need to check.

If it comes with the vcore4, I'd re-check the docs yeah
