Just solder the power connectors to the pads, and screw the panels to the pcb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzorbas Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 I order my parts from Digikey but I'm in Canada. I'm sure they will ship worldwide. I like Lucky1's cables but this is what I've been building. And no, you probably don't need the 3rd wire between the Z connector and the J116 connector as long as you use J116 in the back box . You can use J117 in the back back as well and that 3rd wire cares 5v. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dzorbas Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 The J116/J138 connector is an MTA-156 IDC connector and the pin2dmd power connector is VHR-4N. The question is how are you constructing the circled part below? That looks like 2 pieces combined or maybe I'm mistaken. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveNZ Posted June 8, 2020 Share Posted June 8, 2020 Thanks I found the MTA-156 series at Digikey, they have male and female versions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Normally you would use a z-connector, but those are hard to get. https://www.marcospecialties.com/pinball-parts/5791-12235-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think Stern uses them in their games but they must have someone manufacturing them as a special order. There was one company that used to make them but I think they went out of business. Pinball Life sells them as well. In the end, that's why I'm just soldering and heat shrinking the wires to the connector. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolNielsen Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Hi All, Just trying to get my Evo board running and not having any luck, its just not displaying anything. I tried a couple of power supplied 12 v 2A to start with, then read it needs more amps, so found a 5v 10A one. Both power supplies light the yellow light on the pcb and when running my finger over the top 3 coloured lights they were dim but lit. Both LCD panels had just under 5v going in and I pressed all the buttons along the top of the pcb without any result. I have tried putting the firmware onto a usb and pressing the DFU and Reset button on power up but still nothing. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

dzorbas Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Did you install the firmware via your PC to begin with? I don't believe you can do this any other way the first time. Subsequent updates can be done by putting the firmware on the microSD card and rebooting the board but the initial load can't be done this way.

WolNielsen Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 I have just done the update via the DfuSeDemo app and power cycled, still nothing on the display Opened DfuSeDemo Powered Evo Board Plugged into PC Pressed Dfu and Reset, let go of Rest then Dfu Device listed in DfuSe app Clicked on Choose.. in Upgrade or Verify Action Selected File PIN2DMD.dfu Clicked Upgrade Waiting for it to complete Clicked Leave DFU mode Power cycled Evo board Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider lucky1 Posted October 27, 2020 Author Content Provider Share Posted October 27, 2020 The connection to the green color is bad either from the board to the panel or from the cpu to the panel connector. Maybe a bad solder joint or panel not properly seated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WolNielsen Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Reseated the panel same issue, placed panel into another EVO board works correctly, so back to bad EVO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
