Pinballservicedenekamp 0 Posted Wednesday at 08:18 PM Hi guys, My pin2dmd just arrived, and I've plugged it in to my roadshow, unfortunately it just stays on this screen. I've activated the license key en copied the key to the sd card in my DMD. Who could help me out? Regards, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky1 789 Posted Wednesday at 10:12 PM A little more information of what you did and maybe pictures how you connected it would be helpful. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mageek 10 Posted Thursday at 07:13 PM Is the blue data light flashing? Make sure the data cable is properly oriented Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinballservicedenekamp 0 Posted Thursday at 07:46 PM @magneek Thank you, i have a green LED who's lighting up at the back side of the display, I've tried the ribbon cable, but that is in the right position Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinballservicedenekamp 0 Posted Thursday at 07:48 PM Here a picture of the back side, I didn't build it myself, I ordered it at pinball.center I've got the power from j118. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinballservicedenekamp 0 Posted Thursday at 07:53 PM When I'm opening test input on my dmd itself it says pin 11 & 17 closed, is that correct? And when I'm opening test Rs232 it says loop error. Could this be a link with my problem? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The correct usage of the input test is described here https://pin2dmd.com/#3 The onscreen menu is also descibed there. Did you try to reset the settings to default in the onscreen menu ?

Pinballservicedenekamp 0 Posted Thursday at 09:33 PM I'll check the pins tomorrow, Yes I've tried to reset the settings to default, but that didn't do anything. When I'm starting a gameplay, the display still stays on the pin2dmd start screen. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinballservicedenekamp 0 Posted Friday at 06:08 PM @lucky1 I just Checked all my inputs, and they are correct. What is the next thing I can check? Regards, Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinballservicedenekamp 0 Posted Friday at 06:10 PM Also with a external use of power and without a flat cable connected does the loop error stay, could that be a clue for this error? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The loop error is from the RS232 test because TX and RX from the RS232 interface is not bridged. That is not the cause of your problem. Does a plasma work ?

Pinballservicedenekamp 0 Posted Friday at 08:58 PM Yes, I've used a plasma DMD in my roadshow, and that was fully functional Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lucky1 789 Posted Friday at 09:06 PM Do you have another machine you can test with ? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pinballservicedenekamp 0 Posted Friday at 09:14 PM Yes, i tried the pin2dmd in my CFTBL, and had the same error Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinballservicedenekamp 0 Posted Friday at 09:46 PM That's no good news, is there a way to check if i activated the key in the right way? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pinballservicedenekamp 0 Posted yesterday at 10:44 PM What are the functions of these 3 LEDS? They aren’t burning, and I saw one blue led burning on a pin2dmd from a friend of me Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
