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
Nope. how'd you add the Caselight?
added this section to my printer.cfg:
Did you plug the lights in the same spot as the guide? Just trying to figure out what pins I need to check.
no, i used one of the heater pins iirc. This is on my VC3.1, not sure how the VC4 lights are wired sorry
All good i'm sure i can find something online.
If it comes with the vcore4, I'd re-check the docs yeah
I recently installed them and this is my config section:
[output_pin caselight]
pin: PE5 #your control board pin number
pwm: true #enable pwm control for the led brightness
shutdown_value: 0.0 #brightness on printer error
value: 0.3 #value when printer turns on
cycle_time: 0.0025 #fast-ish cycle time
I have a Idex printer with the rat pack and this port is unused. I personally didn't find documentation about the installation, but figured it out myself.
