VBobrusev is running 5.0 I upgraded to 5.0 before I installed the pin2dmd. The problem is if you select Stern Whitestar it will NOT work. The issues I was having which was that the stern whitestar setting were not the right setting for my stern whitestar machine! When I put the unit into my sega South Park(father company of stern also with whitestar boards) i put the settings to Data East Sega setting and it worked. As South Park was sega branded whitestar board machine is why I changed it to the Data East Sega option. and I also knew that the display controller boards are exactly the same in the Stern TSPP and the Sega SP so I put the board back into my TSPP using the Sega settings and up it came. I wonder what dmd controller the Stern Whitestar setting supports then as Stern's next iteration i believe was the SAM system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 7, 2017 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 7, 2017 The Whitestar input was first tested on a Lord of the Rings. It was also confirmed to be working on a T3 and many others. AFAIK Vbobrusev uses also Whitestar on his TSPP. The data structure is only slightly different between those two machine types. Maybe you use a older display controller board ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you use a older display controller board ? It is possible as the board was replaced with a rottendog. But what is the difference the output is the same and it does not matter to an original plasma screen. they are all interchangeable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 9, 2017 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 9, 2017 We don´t just display the data coming from a machine like a plasma does. We analyze and colorize it, That is a very big difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It uses the same rom in the dmd contolller, its just a different version of hardware but it must adhere to some standard as its uses the same firmware which is what controls it?

FunkyFreshWalrus Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 I am having an issue using Pin2DMD in my Sega Twister. I have Nucleo build with Pin2DMD firmware 2.58. When I set it to Dataeast/Sega mode, or Stern Whitestar I get nothing but the Pin2DMD logo. I tried it in Capcom mode and it works, sort of. Only some of the shades seem to show, and the display is offset with a little bit of the left hand side cut off, and appearing on the other end of the DMD. See in the image attached that it says "Hoot Disc For 30 Million" with the "S" just stuck to the right hand side. p.s. I have it set to orange in the attached photo.

Content Provider lucky1 Posted October 6, 2018 Author Content Provider Share Posted October 6, 2018 DataEast mode should work for you. Maybe reset your device to default in the onscreen menu and try to change the enhancer setting helps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FunkyFreshWalrus Posted October 6, 2018 Share Posted October 6, 2018 That did it. Took a few resets and messing with those two settings, but it is now working in Dataeast mode. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinballuser Posted November 23, 2018 Share Posted November 23, 2018 an easy solution for you is to duplicate the default pallet give it a new name, and assign the default (duplicate) pallet for the scenes that are not switching back to the default pallet.

SpaceGambler Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hi I have a problem with a few newer discovery boards Using the usb connection and pin2dmd.exe while the display in the real pinball I can change the input machine type to get the signal correct and I can change the monochrome colour of the display to any of the standard colours. What the display will not do is allow me to change the colours in the VGA palette, I change the colours with pin2dmd.exe but they do not change on the display they remain on the standard colours. I have tried the latest firmware version to V2.J33.M25 and also the pin2dmd software to V2.66 and it still doesn't work. If I install an older discovery board that I have, the colours can be changed like normal. Has anyone got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo27 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Same issue.Using STM 32F407G-DISC1 discovery boards.First batch purchased from Mouser, zero issues, all work. Board batch numbers ranging from 1629 thru 1715.Second batch of discovery boards, purchased once again from Mouser will not allow colour change. All boards have a batch of 1744Laptop connected to pinball machine for live colour changes. Screen will flash as you select a colour , but immediately reverts back to default colour profile.Does anyone else have any of this batch? Have you have issues ?Appreciate any feedback Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 13, 2019 I don´t think that this problem is hardware related. I´ll have a look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turbo27 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Thank you. Yes I think I agree.If I test a fully working setup, and swap out the discovery board, problem occurs.Remove the 1744 discovery and put the other back, bingo, setup works perfectly again.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 13, 2019 Could it be that the new boards are not activated ? Some functions only work with a valid key. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The new boards are activated Just to check I reloaded the pin2dmd firmware and deliberately didn't install the sdcard when starting the pinball and it came up with the activation splash screen Interestingly though trying out different pin2dmd firmware's got a slightly different activation code. With version 2.39 the code was all numbers but with version 2.66 there was a D at the start of the code (all the numbers were still the same). With version 2.66 installed, I installed the sdcard with the key file and reset the discovery board and no further activation splash screen. BTW: the code provided to get the activation key file was originally just the numbers no letters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 13, 2019 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 13, 2019 Send me a PM with the Number on the screen that I can check the license. Old keyfile for numbers starting with # need to be renamed to pin2dmd.key. New keyfiles start with a letter. That is all described here https://pin2dmd.com/installation/ under 3.2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dede214 Posted April 13, 2019 Share Posted April 13, 2019 Hello I have this adapter card, but it does not work with my STM32, the card reader is not going, I am obliged to connect it via Dupond cables directly to the STM32 When I do that the red LED goes off well on the STM, but as soon as I plug the cable DMD of the pinball the blue led does not work I saw in the post precedent that you have a 74LS and a max232 me no is this?

Thank you sorry for my English You don't need the signal enhancer for all pinball machines, so far I have only seen the need for it on Data East/Sega games, so you can jumper it out. The black jumper next to the 74LS123 socket is for this. Try moving the jumper across, this may get it working, otherwise you will need to install a 74LS123 into the socket. Also, what's going on with your sdcard socket? Is is missing or is it installed underneath the board? Pin 1 is ground, this should be labelled on your socket.
