nairolf Posted November 9, 2017 Posted November 9, 2017 Hi, I have a problem to finish my configuration. My pin2DMD is working but don't show the dmd animation of my TFTC. He stay on PIN2DMD strat screen. The blue led never link but PIN2DMD was creat on the sd card I do all I think to do: - Check the cable - redstrand need to be near the option and configure button - Configure the PIN2DMD in DATA EAST mode n - Configure enhancer option to on and off - Copy again the .key on sd card to be sure it not corrupt Any other idea... Thanks for your help Florian
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 10, 2017 Content Provider Posted November 10, 2017 You ribbon cable my be reversed on the Data East controller side. Check that the red wire is on pin1 there.
nairolf Posted November 10, 2017 Author Posted November 10, 2017 Yes the red wire in on pin1 on Data east DMD controller.... I 'll post picture this evening...
nairolf Posted November 10, 2017 Author Posted November 10, 2017 I put some pictures.. hope this can help to find what is wrong... Thanks a lot.
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 10, 2017 Content Provider Posted November 10, 2017 DMD cable looks correct. You can try with enhancer jumper in the other position. Maybe @UncleSash can help further with this shield version.
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 11, 2017 Content Provider Posted November 11, 2017 You can see it on your fourth picture in the left middle.
nairolf Posted November 11, 2017 Author Posted November 11, 2017 Thanks.. I'll do it without any success... I've test again with 2 other micro sd... same problem I've test with another shield board.... same problem I've test with my old stabdard DMD to be sur my DMD card is ok... It's working I really don't know what I need to do... Sure pin2DMD is working with DATA EAST?
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 11, 2017 Content Provider Posted November 11, 2017 Yes working without a problem in any data east machine so far. As far as I remember there was a problem with the first batch of 3.x shields from Dom. Please check this posthttps://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/stolen-pin2dmd-color-rgb-controller-from-pinballspcom/page/14#post-3556151
nairolf Posted November 11, 2017 Author Posted November 11, 2017 Thanks a lot... I'll test. So the problem will be on the shield board...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 11, 2017 Content Provider Posted November 11, 2017 As long as you don´t get a flickering red or blue led there is a problem with signal data (DMD_SD) or signal clock (DMD_SCLK) Please check against the schematics https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/blob/master/hardware/V3 STM32F4 DISCOVERY/PIN2DMD-v3.0.pdf

Has absolutly nothing to do with your problem and is, gently speaking, very very experimental
nairolf Posted November 11, 2017 Author Posted November 11, 2017 ok I don't do that, thanks for warning me. Do you think I need to do both of modification (creat à new connection under the card and jumping the pin)?
nairolf Posted November 12, 2017 Author Posted November 12, 2017 I do exactly same like picture (new conectionunder the shield card and jumping pin without any success... I also try with ehancer mode (with jumper) active and not... no sucess I really don't understand what's wrong... i'll take new pictures. I've put one on my pincab without any problem but I'm really surprise how hard it is to put a pin2DMD on a real pinball... And I buy 3 of them to change my dmd

And I buy 3 of them to change my dmd Normally it is absolutely no problem to make it work in a real pinball. There must be some other problem. Did you measure if the connection you now added as a wire to the circuit was already in place to test if it one of the problematic boards ? You could also test Whitestar mode. Maybe you have a replaced display controller in your TFTC. Do you have another pinball machine / discovery board to test with ?
nairolf Posted November 12, 2017 Author Posted November 12, 2017 Well I test whitestar mode without success and I test continuity of my new cable and it ok... Do I need to test the connection I added with another way than continuity? Just another information. I used 5v direct to the cable of the DMD so I not installed the DC -Dc converter... I've got around 4,89 V on the boards. Do you think that could be the probleme?
nairolf Posted November 12, 2017 Author Posted November 12, 2017 I've test my board shield and what is strange is, for me, the pin1 is conect to pin 1 of my LS123. (on picture pin 1 is conected on pin 2 on LS123)... and pin1 of the LS123 is connect to the other side pin 3 (on picture Pin2 to other side pin 4) I'm completly lost of what to do....
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 12, 2017 Content Provider Posted November 12, 2017 Do you have a sceond discovery board you could test with, just to be sure it is not defective ? I contacted Rappelbox to join this thread ...
nairolf Posted November 12, 2017 Author Posted November 12, 2017 Yes, I have three of them and have test all... same issus...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 12, 2017 Content Provider Posted November 12, 2017 2 hours ago, nairolf said: Yes, I have three of them and have test all... same issus... O.K. then the problem must be on the shield. Do you have a multimeter which can measure ohms ?
