Content Provider nickbuol Posted January 12, 2018 Content Provider Posted January 12, 2018 UncleSash hooked me up with an awesome Pin2DMD, however I have some questions around the power. This will be going into a virtual pinball cabinet. I plan to just provide the Pin2DMD with its own dedicated power supply since they are relatively inexpensive. He recommended a 24V power supply. I'm not saying that is wrong, but I am reading elsewhere that people are using smaller than that. I really don't care if it is 12V or 24V, just looking for best options. I found a 24V 1A 24Watt power supply, and a 24V 1A 48Watt power supply for around $10 each new. Is that enough amperage? Should I be looking at something completely different? Sorry for the noob questions. I see where everything goes based off of the photos that were sent to me of my unit, but just need to iron out this power question. I just want to do it right the first time. Thanks all.
Content Provider lucky1 Posted January 12, 2018 Content Provider Posted January 12, 2018 I use the 5V from my VPIn-PC power supply without the DC-DC converter.
Content Provider nickbuol Posted January 12, 2018 Author Content Provider Posted January 12, 2018 Yeah, I bought the DC-DC converter option because I didn't know if I needed it. Is it valuable to have, or should I just remove it and use 5V from the computer power supply like you mentioned?
