Content Provider UncleSash Posted November 7, 2015 Content Provider Posted November 7, 2015 Hey unclesash, are you guys making a frame for the rgb dmd? And will it be available for purchase? I work with one Guy from the Forum on a very nice CNC made Frame! This one should be finsihed in the middle from the next Week. I´m not sure if he wants to sell them, but I think he will. We will notify you here in the Forum, when they are finsihed.
Content Provider UncleSash Posted November 7, 2015 Content Provider Posted November 7, 2015 For these stuff: According to the writeup and pics, it looks like the board uses microUSB port to talk to the PC (Pinmame) and still requires 5V power from the miniUSB port. Is there another way to supply 5V to the board, instead of the miniUSB port? There are 5V and Ground pins on the board, can these be used? Answer: microUSB = for Pin2DMD DATA communication (PinMame) miniUSB = supply the board with 5V DC AND to programm the Board! Ground pins = are all connected to the ground and can be used 5V Pin = can also be used to supply the board with 5V DC (but be carefull that is really 5V!!!) When you are able to use the extra PCB: The miniUSB is not needed any longer, because you can supply the STm32F4 Board with 5V from the breakout board You need only the microUSB to communicate with the PC (PinMame). When the Pin2DMD with extra PCB is used in a real CAB, you need NO USB cables at all (after Download the Firmware to the STm32F4)! I will post some pictures and instructions next week!
Content Provider gtxjoe Posted November 7, 2015 Content Provider Posted November 7, 2015 I went through the PIN2DMD driver install. That was fun... not I ended up with 2 instances of PIN2DMD device in the device manager. EDIT: I did the registry fix and now 1 PIN2DMD device and it is up and running - document updated Here are some pics of the driver manual install I had to do. Feel free to use any and all, if this is correct. Pin2DMD install 110715v2.zip
Blashyrk Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Before I forget, If you have installed teensy drivers and you get two pin2dmd detected, in my case windows installed teensy (com port)drivers for the second pin2dmd device.

Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 7, 2015 Author Content Provider Posted November 7, 2015 You can also power the STM Board though the micro USB only by making a wire bridge between PA9 and 5V Lucky1

mpad Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I love this project for the tech part and DIY aspects. great work!!! honestly I am more into single colored DMDs, but even being able to change to the original game color is awesome enough. and it comes way cheaper than what I paid for my segmented DMD.
