BamBam Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Excuse my ignorance, but I am still not sure what to buy. I am currently using a monitor as a DMD on my cabinet. I am looking for a complete solution to replace my monitor with a DMD display that will not kill the budget. I see references to controllers, shields etc., but that is all French to me. I require a colour DMD and a way to hook it up to my PC for Visual Pinball X, Future Pinball and Pinball FX2. Can someone off me some advice and possibly a photo of a complete all-in-one kit that does not require soldering etc? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your Question is not ignorant, It is just normal. we have a lot of Threads going on and a lot of Informations everywhere. Well, for your request is one Set 1 (all soldered and ready to use) one 5V DC (5A, 25Watt) Power Supply (or use your PC 5V, when your PC PS has enough Power) one RGB DMD LED P2.5 Display (P2.5 is the pitch and means 2.5mm distance between each LED from center to center) for a same size DMD as in a real Pinball machine one micro USB cable (for DATA from PinMame to DMD Controller) one mini USB for FW Updates on the Controller. may be one Frame to mount the DMD in your cab (or build your own stuff). Of course, one license from www.pin2dmd.com I am really sorry that I don't sell the stuff as a complete package. The Things that I sell are: Set1 (shield and Controller with preinstalled but NOT activated Pin2DMD Firmware) Frame I can assist you with my knowledge to Order these things: RGB DMD Display (on www.aliexpress.com) 5V DC Power Supply (ebay or ali) USB Cables (are you sure that you have no cables left in your man cave?!?) feel free to send me a Private Message when you need more help or when you like to Order something. regards Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted March 29, 2017 Share Posted March 29, 2017 Thanks for clarifying that. I have a 5 vdc power supply and USB cables. so all I need is your controller and two of these? https://www.aliexpress.com/item/160-80mm-64-32pixels-1-16-Scan-Indoor-SMD2121-3in1-RGB-full-color-P2-5-LED/32707934982.html?spm=2114.01010208.3.1.4i4Ppg&ws_ab_test=searchweb0_0,searchweb201602_7_10152_10065_10130_10068_10150_10139_10136_10137_10060_10138_10062_10141_203_10056_10055_10054_10059_10099_9912_129_10103_10102_10096_10052_10144_10053_10142_10107_10050_10143_10051_10525_10529_10084_10083_10080_10082_10081_10110_10111_10112_10113_10114_10516_10515_10078_10079_10073_10070_10122_10123_10124-9912,searchweb201603_1,afswitch_1,ppcSwitch_5,single_sort_0_default&btsid=b0919dbd-36ed-4fe2-a946-99f685a6bef1&algo_expid=74a253c6-b1c2-4959-9e86-0b2622b1f612-0&algo_pvid=74a253c6-b1c2-4959-9e86-0b2622b1f612 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That panel works. And yes, you need in this case 2 of them. To get your total size from 128x32 pixel (leds) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BamBam Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Beauty. Now I need to save up some more funds. I just picked up pinball legs, coin door, mechs etc. yesterday :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibjeepin Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Sacha So here is my build! Almost Done Just one question, The two resistor networks are the pin 1's opposite to eachother as printed on the pcb? The second picture shows my orientation.

Content Provider UncleSash Posted April 4, 2017 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 4, 2017 Nice job. Don't worry about the resistor network. It one resistor for every 2pins. You can solder it in how ever you like to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider UncleSash Posted April 4, 2017 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 4, 2017 Here the data sheet. We use the "Isolated Resistors (102 Circuit)". http://www.bourns.com/pdfs/4600X.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibjeepin Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Cool soldered the resistor packs in, assembled the setup and powered her up! Shazam! Up she is running, put my key file on and its now registered, So when do the mode and option buttons come into play? im pressing them and nothing. Only when I press both together to i get a "reset" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappelbox Posted April 4, 2017 Share Posted April 4, 2017 Hold the blue button and then trigger the black one next to it, hold the blue one until menu appears on the screen then use menu button to cycle through the different options and option button to cycle through the various options inside the different entries.

s3xyGerkin Posted April 18, 2017 Share Posted April 18, 2017 I received my pin2dmd few days ago. Thanks again Sascha. However, I don't know the pinout for the rs232 port. I'm trying to connect it to the TTL adapter, the adapter is labeled, but not the shield PCB. Anybody? Sascha? Knows the pinout? Am I right ? 1 TXD 2 GND 3 RXD no need for VCC? (Or connect it to the red jumper pin?) Thanks, Thomas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider UncleSash Posted April 18, 2017 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 18, 2017 That is the official PinOut. Correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You just need to connect these 3 pins to a SubD9 connector. pinout of subD9 is Pin2 - RXD Pin3 - TXD Pin5 - GND Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
itchymouse Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Can someone please advise? i cant figure this out after reading through the forums for a couple of hours Of the packages that uncleSash offers Its basically 1. controller and/or shield : 2. with or without soldering : 3. GODMD output options or not My application is to replace a 128x32 plasma DMD If i purchase the 2x (64x32) displays .. i believe there are set up in relay mode. as a result do i need the controller? Also on the soldering.. all i can find reference to is; some resistors but not sure why or where they are too be soldered to a missing 5v link on the shield board Can someone please reply with some pasted links or direct advice Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider gtxjoe Posted April 24, 2017 Content Provider Share Posted April 24, 2017 On a virtual pincab or a real pinball machine? Either way you need the controller and shield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider UncleSash Posted May 21, 2017 Author Content Provider Share Posted May 21, 2017 it was a boring day .. and so I decide to solder 2 Pin2DMD Shields, incl. ready for GO-DMD headers,....the actual rev 3.2b US Shield.... rev 3.3 US Shield... also GO-DMD ready! the new one... I just arrenged teh CAPS for the MAX232 a bit, they was a bit close to the USB port from the STM Controller and I removed the OLD DS3231 RTC, just the small one is still there, cheers Sascha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sascha Are those the dimensions of the frames I got from you? If so I can say they are not quite correct spacing for real pinballs. every one I have installed is off. the width is not wide enough. 380mm is to narrow. I bet you its 15" not 14.9606. you should change that to 381mm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
