Hello

This is my first build, so I have limited experience. Today I hooked up my panels and STM-board.

I made a direct connection by cutting one end of Panels HUB75, and connect wires to STM-board.

By misstake I first connected the panels to 12V instead of 5V!! Thought they died, but I fixed the connection and tried again.

Without STM-board running, the panels are completely black, When turning on the STM, I get color on the displays.

But I don't get the Pin2DMD logo. Is this due to fried panels or somthing with the wires?

Regards,

I ordered two new LED-panels, and now it's working. I use the same STM.
So don't connect 12V to these panels ;)

 

 Yikes.   Not a cheap mistake. At least you're up and running now.  Where did you get your panels from ? I used AliExpress, but they shipped via DHL so it cost me another $CAD 25 for brokerage fees etc :-(

Not cheap mistake at all. I bought from Aliexpress too. The first panels caused import taxes, and so did the second ones :(

Still, the show must go on ;)
