So far I only save setup data on the SD Card (which display, active palette).

Currently it is not needed in PinMame Mode but who knows what will come.

I added it because it is cheap and working

1st round is ALL gone... some new are in plan... just read my post on page 11!

 

small update:

 

I ordered 20 pcs 2 Layer PCBs for arround 80 USD in Shenzhen, China.

Size 3x3.5 inch = 75x89 mm

 

Hopefully they be here in week 47.

So I can ship the boards in week 48. (last week in November)

 

Lucky1´s 1 Layer is to expensive because of the size.

Size: 3.35x4.85 inch = 84.5x123 mm

20 pcs would be for arround 90 USD.

 

After delivery and test, 18 pieces are then available for sale.

 

 

Update: 11-02-2015

PCB Boards are produced, just have to wait for shipping.

See attachement for Details!

It´s allready fixed in my layout and comes on the PCB in rev 1.2... (next order).

Sign me up for 1 pcb withe the solder work done. Thanks for offering this.

To complete this for pinmame use, it looks like we would need the 2 led modules, ST board, and 16 pin idc (and maybe the SD card reader)

I orderd 5 pcs SPI Micro SD Card reader.

 

I can sell them for $1.50.

Only with the PCB, no single shipping!

But i have NO microSD Cards aviable.

 

here is the link where i ordered, so everybody knows what kind of sd card reader is needed (6 PIN SPI microSD)

(don´t be suprised that my offer cost more, i ordered 5pcs + 1.98 ePacket with Tracking)

 I just placed my order for panels, now at US $55 shipped. So, price is still going up.

 

http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Factory-direct-sales-P2-5-indoor-1-32-scan-SMD-full-color-160mm-80mm-64-32/32367147914.html?spm=2114.031010208.3.2.wngE5N&ws_ab_test=searchweb201556_7_71_72_73_74_75,searchweb201527_4,searchweb201560_9

 

This one still appears to be two 64x32 modules put together in one frame. 

 

In the gtxjoe link above, the picture in the listing looks like they may now be selling a single 64x64 module which would not be quite as useful for our application. Kind of hard to tell, the listing still says that the product is 64x32 px. People, if the standard is moving to 64x64 modules you may want to jump on the ones that are 64x32 while they are still available.

Please give me a note if they are able to split it.

Thank you.

So Lucky1, is there a way to send still frames or movies to this setup?  

 

If not, if it is something that would be relatively straight forward to add, I could give it a try but I would need some sort of starting point :)

This could definitly be done, but I do not understand what this is good for?

First firmware version that is capable to capture DMD output from a real pinball machine (Dr.Who in this case) and created a colored image in real time on the rgb led panel:

 

see

 

but still work to do ....

Its made for both, feeding frames via usb from pin mame, but also feeding frames from a real pinball machine via the common dmd interface used by nearly all DMD displays like vishay, led from stern, xpin and the like.

Nice Steve.

 

The custom animations could be used for anything, maybe something like this when you are not playing pinball or even non pinball projects similar to this61Kvnw4EoVL._SL1024_.jpg

I believe there many solutions out there for this kind of application, even already ready to buy controllers on alibaba. So this a not major goal for this project. Its more focused on pinballs.
