Content Provider UncleSash Posted December 10, 2015 Content Provider Share Posted December 10, 2015 Some people are having trouble to execute the Pin2DMD Tool. Here is a small hint, that could you help out. Use the Pin2DMD in this Folder: "tools/VC++/binary" it is the latest version. UNBLOCK all of the DLL files and the Pin2DMD excutable for Windows in the "VC++/binary" Folder 1. Right click on the file, and click on Properties.2. Under the General tab, click/ on the Unblock button, and click/tap on OK. (see screenshot below)NOTE: If you do not see an Unblock button, then the file has already been unblocked. reference is from here: (option 1) http://www.sevenforu...block-file.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xfactor Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I'm ready to give my Pin2DMD a whirl, started following the instructions and I've got stuck on the firmware installation, not very much progress when the first few steps where just downloading everything! I can't find the PIN2DMD.coproj file anywhere in the github source files so not sure how I'm meant to build it? Searched the forums and can't see anything related so the process is either changed or I'm being a numpty? Can anyone point in in the direction of the file or new instructions. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted January 30, 2016 Author Content Provider Share Posted January 30, 2016 There was a problem in the gitignore file. You can try again, but I would recommend that you use the binary file from the repository instead of building from source. The binary is tested better to be working. We are currently reworking the routines needed by the Pin2DMD Editor for better performance. To just upload the binary to the device you should use the ST Link Utility from here http://www.st.com/web/en/catalog/tools/PF258168 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baselope Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 So I have located the source code for version 2.86 provided by Lucky1 Here:https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/releases/tag/v2.68 , But unfortunately, I cannot find any information on how to make that into a BIN file to put on my Pin2dmd. I currently have version 3.05 on it, which works with Luckys .dll, but not with the Freezy .dll. Can anyone provide me with either a 2.67 or 2.68 BIN or .UPD file? Thank you. I just opened the zip file and found the .UPD file in side... so Nevermind... Thanks anyway Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dnaman72 Posted December 14, 2019 Share Posted December 14, 2019 Where can i find the latest version of the pin2dmd.exe tool (to support the latest firmware) and is this what I use with a laptop (connected via USB) to grab screen dumps in real-time for colouring? I want to grab some uncoloured screens for the author or TSPP who doesn't currently have a real TSPP to grab them from himself. Thanks in advance.

Content Provider lucky1 Posted December 15, 2019 Author Content Provider Share Posted December 15, 2019 The tools can be found here https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/tree/master/tools. I just added a version for Win64 and OSX. Best results can be achieved with no colorization installed on the device and the tool running on OSX. Windows ist not the best choice for realtime applications with the need for high timer precision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baselope Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Having the darndest problem. I Previously had a PinDMD v2 connected. all my games worked fine with Freezy. I removed the PinDMD v2 and added in the Pin2DMD. Now whenever I try a VP game, I get an error PinDMD v2 not found. If I clear the error , then the game will start and the PIN2DMD will operate. I have been over my DMDDevice.ini file and made the other display types False for enabled, leaving only the Pin2DMD as enabled = true. I have also tried substituting the .dll from Lucky for pinmame. I have tried uninstalling Visual Pinball, and reinstalling it. No luck. Can anyone point me in the right direction please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have my PIN2DMD and I'm just trying to get familiar with it. I downloaded the Hardware Tutorial PDF to get myself familiar with the hardware, but the PDF appears to be corrupted. I'm not able to open the file. Is there another document that will tell me what specific LEDs do on the back of the PCB, what the different buttons do, how the hardware should look on the back when it is booting, etc? I am also having issues with the OSX version of PIN2DMD.exe tool. I am running OS 10.10.5 which is not supported. Is there an older version of PIN2DMD.exe that I could use? I am on an older MacBook that cannot be upgraded any further. Thank you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
