Ciceronic Posted February 25, 2017 Share Posted February 25, 2017 Hello This is my first build, so I have limited experience. Today I hooked up my panels and STM-board. I made a direct connection by cutting one end of Panels HUB75, and connect wires to STM-board. By misstake I first connected the panels to 12V instead of 5V!! Thought they died, but I fixed the connection and tried again. Without STM-board running, the panels are completely black, When turning on the STM, I get color on the displays. But I don't get the Pin2DMD logo. Is this due to fried panels or somthing with the wires? Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KiwiBri Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Is your STM working ? Ie. are you able to connect to it using the STM update etc? Might be worth trying a different STM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciceronic Posted March 11, 2017 Author Share Posted March 11, 2017 I ordered two new LED-panels, and now it's working. I use the same STM. So don't connect 12V to these panels Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I used AliExpress, but they shipped via DHL so it cost me another $CAD 25 for brokerage fees etc :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ciceronic Posted March 14, 2017 Author Share Posted March 14, 2017 Not cheap mistake at all. I bought from Aliexpress too. The first panels caused import taxes, and so did the second ones Still, the show must go on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
