breikers Posted June 29, 2020 Share Posted June 29, 2020 Hi, I have been using a PIN2DMD display in a Virtual Pinball. I would like to use this PIN2DMD in my real pinball Machine. Stern whitestar system. Is there a tutorial available for connecting this to power etc ? I can't seem to find it. Any help is appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ninjamp3 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 Hello! I'm continuing reading and dealing with the instlaation. I have updated the board, I put the key on the SD the files of the colored display of the Street fighter II Gottlieb and configured the options with gottlieb V2 and enhancer on. When I plug the pin2dmd on the machine I only can see the Gottlieb V2 and nothing else. I don't know what I'm doing wrong or I f a need another files on the sd. With the pin2dmd.exe I selected the same option. I already tested with Gotlieb V3 with the same result. I really apprecite your help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted July 11, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted July 11, 2020 If your display is stuck on the splash screen it means that my software is not getting valid data. Most likely a hardware problem. Please run the input test as described on pin2dmd.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjamp3 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 pin 9 and pin 13 are open. ? for sure they will be important and there isn't a cheap solution ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted July 11, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted July 11, 2020 Did you read "It displays which of the input pins 1,3,5,7,11 (and 13 for Nucleo and EVO boards) " ?? If it is a discovery based shield that is o.k. Which hardware do you have ? Could it be it is a PinballSP DMDST32 board ?PinballSP did not populate all necessary circuits to save some money. Please make a picture. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider lucky1 Posted July 12, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted July 12, 2020 I bet it should work if you add the missing resistor R2 1KOhm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjamp3 Posted July 12, 2020 Share Posted July 12, 2020 Yeah! I just solded the resistence form the old Shield and worked ? I thought I will never see it working!. IN-CRE-DI-BLE!! I still have to fix the plunger becuasue it looks its small and the ball never exit the ramp. But this is another story. I can see the scores. Thanks for the support! ?
