Content Provider nickbuol Posted January 12, 2018 Content Provider Share Posted January 12, 2018 UncleSash hooked me up with an awesome Pin2DMD, however I have some questions around the power. This will be going into a virtual pinball cabinet. I plan to just provide the Pin2DMD with its own dedicated power supply since they are relatively inexpensive. He recommended a 24V power supply. I'm not saying that is wrong, but I am reading elsewhere that people are using smaller than that. I really don't care if it is 12V or 24V, just looking for best options. I found a 24V 1A 24Watt power supply, and a 24V 1A 48Watt power supply for around $10 each new. Is that enough amperage? Should I be looking at something completely different? Sorry for the noob questions. I see where everything goes based off of the photos that were sent to me of my unit, but just need to iron out this power question. I just want to do it right the first time. Thanks all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted January 12, 2018 Content Provider Share Posted January 12, 2018 I use the 5V from my VPIn-PC power supply without the DC-DC converter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider nickbuol Posted January 12, 2018 Author Content Provider Share Posted January 12, 2018 Yeah, I bought the DC-DC converter option because I didn't know if I needed it. Is it valuable to have, or should I just remove it and use 5V from the computer power supply like you mentioned? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
