DMilo Posted February 12, 2016 Share Posted February 12, 2016 I just tried the board on a Stern Terminator 3 and the display seems to be shifted one pixel down and one pixel to the right. It seems to be wrapping the bottom row to the top and the right column to the left. Is this a known issue? I tried it on my FishTales on it worked fine. I'm assuming it's because the WhiteStar drivers are still in beta? Terminator 3 Here is Fish Tales: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 12, 2016 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 12, 2016 Yippiee, our first Whitestar user. I will have a look at the routine and check how to fix the offset. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

opcode Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I updated my pindmd board to the latest firmware and got the latest pin2dmd.exe and all the files checked in with pin2dmd.exe. Now when I run pin2dmd.exe it crashes right away and always says it crashes in libusb-1.0.dll, this is on a Windows 7 x64 machine which runs my pincab. What's funny is if I run the same pin2dmd.exe on my Windows 10 machine (not hooked to my pincab) it works (but says can't find pindmd). It appears its not driver related (or at least I think so), I tried using the zadig tool to change drivers and doesn't seem to matter what I pick (I did get it to blue screen win 7 several times though picking libusb driver and then launching pin2dmd.exe, reboot and it just crashes pin2dmd.exe). Anyone else get the latest pin2dmd to work on windows 7? On a related note, why can I not see history for (https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD) more than 16 days back, is this some issue with github or the pin2md project on github? I would like to roll back to an older pin2md.exe but I don't think I can roll back anywhere past 1.22 (16 days ago). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 15, 2016 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 15, 2016 Could you check if there is another libusb-1.0.dll on your system. Maybe in the windows directory.. The one that is currently officially ditributed as a binary has a bug using bulk transfer, which we do. See https://github.com/libusb/libusb/issues/139 The DLL we have on github is a fixed version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Dazz Posted February 16, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 16, 2016 Hey guys... it looks like the STM32F4 Discovery has been discontinued. Both Mouser and Digikey are saying they have been discontinued. Are there any other boards that can be used? Looks like Digikey is listing the STM32F407G-DISC1 as a direct replacement. Would this one work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 16, 2016 There are still hundreds of copies available on e.g. eBay or AliExpress. I think that digikey is also selling those. From the data sheet they seem to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider UncleSash Posted February 16, 2016 Content Provider Share Posted February 16, 2016 There are still hundreds available on e.g. eBay or AliExpress. well... the "disc1" looking good. I order some of them. But then the price for the sets go up a couple dollars. - Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I searched my C:\ drive for libusb-1.0.dll, not found. It's definitely crashing in there. The version in the folder I run pin2dmd.exe from is that same dll version: I copied the new pindmd stuff over my old folder, maybe that is the issue?

Administrators Dazz Posted February 16, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 16, 2016 Sash do you know if the STM32F407G-DISC1 is a direct replacement? According to Digikey this is the new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

According to Digikey this is the new one. I think so. I saw the same on the ST site! I looked just now to the tech specs. And it looks the same for me. So i´m going to Order a few from digi-key and test them and write a feedback here (I think on the upcoming weekend) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider UncleSash Posted February 16, 2016 Content Provider Share Posted February 16, 2016 I ordered 4 Stm boards from digikey. When they working, i try to get a better bulk price to keep the old set price. More information when the test is completed! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 16, 2016 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 16, 2016 I copied the new pindmd stuff over my old folder, maybe that is the issue? Try to use a clean copy of github and see if it works then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
opcode Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Try to use a clean copy of github and see if it works then Finally got around to trying this. Wiped my folder and ran a clean copy of it exactly as from github. Still crashes pin2dmd.exe in libusb-1.0.dll. I wish I had made a backup of things before I copied this over. Is there anyone who has the pin2dmd folder before it was switched to libusb? I have some friends coming over and was hoping to have the color dmd going.

The libusb driver was there from the beginning on. But I still have an old Backup from GitHub. How many weeks did you want to go back? I think with Windows 7, the driver from the beginning must work. Anyways, I will send you an Dropbox link with serval versions. When this is not working, I can support your system over a remote desktop to help you to find the problem. Just in case.

Before I upgraded I was using the version before we switched to libusb-1.0, say about January 10-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mat tray to delete / replace the specific libUSB*.dll files in the Windows 7 folders. I looked it up for you. When you use Windows 7 64Bit,it must be in the same folders. System-Folders with libusb*.dll : C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\pin2dmd.inf_amd64_neutral_96acedffbbd33af8 C:\Windows\System32 C:\Windows\SysWOW64 (only for 64 Bit Systems) This may looks different in the 32 bit Version: "C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository" must be the same, and this is almost the same "pin2dmd.inf_amd64_neutral_96acedffbbd33af8". I have no 32Bit system anymore, so just try it and look for a Folder named with "pin2dmd.inf" in the beginning, when it is not the same name. I suggest you to delete this complete Folder: C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository\ pin2dmd.inf_amd64_neutral_96acedffbbd33af8 regards Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted February 17, 2016 Author Content Provider Share Posted February 17, 2016 This can only be a temporary solution, since new features, like new upload routine of pictures and videos etc, will need the new version of pin2dmd.exe .

opcode Posted February 17, 2016 Share Posted February 17, 2016 Thanks UncleSash the 12-15-15 was the first version that didn't use the new libusb, so I tried that one (PIN2DMD-master_RGB_12-15-2015). When I wiped my latest pin2dmd folder off my machine and copied the 12-15-15 it works first try (with the latest firmware on the board). Not sure if this means its the driver or the driver interface dll (libusb-1.0), but anyway it works again, hopefully we can track down why it crashes with the latest stuff on Windows 7. I have access to Visual Studio (right now I only have VS2015 installed) but when I tried to compile the managed C++ version of pin2dmd it acted like I didn't have support for managed C++, I have a version directly from Microsoft's MSDN (I have an account through work), never dealt with managed C++ but know C++ and C# very well. In theory I can remote debug to my pinball machine if I can get this compiled anyway. It may be a while before I can get to that though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still use the old driver on my system. All the new stuff works out with it. The latest FW and the latest Pin2DMD.exe Tool. But I am happy that you fixed your system! Keep the old GitHub zips (FW files ). - Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I´m really curious what the problem is. Would be great if you could track this down by debugging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
