Gil Posted March 1, 2020 Share Posted March 1, 2020 I trying to build my own pin2dmd but something doesn't work as expected. I purchased all the components and soldered them to the board. I assembled and wired everything; board nucleo board, screens, cables. Turned the power on, plugged it to the PC and I uploaded the firmware using the ST-LINK utility. Screen is totally blank. not a single pixel is light on. Both screens are connected to the power supply, but still nothing... How do I proceed from here? Your help is appreciated...

Content Provider lucky1 Posted March 1, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted March 1, 2020 Just to close this case, as you can see from the picture Gil ordered the wrong Nucleo (F746) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gil Posted March 8, 2020 Author Share Posted March 8, 2020 Thanks @lucky1, You are always fast to response. I received the right Nucleo this time and it looks like everything looks fine so far. However, I still needs help I can't find instructions to setup the board to work with real pinball machine. I have a DE Star Wars machine. What should I do next before I connect the pin2dmd to it? I looks that some members shared their coloring projects. What file should I use and where to place them? You help is appreciated.

Content Provider lucky1 Posted March 8, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted March 8, 2020 If you use the latest firmware your device should detect the device mode (Data East) automatically if it is in default device mode (VIRTUAL PINBALL). You can also set it in the onscreen menu https://pin2dmd.com/#3 The colorization needs to exported for real pins either by yourself or by the author https://pin2dmd.com/editor/#2.1.3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
