Which device mode does it show ? You need to set it to Gottlieb V2 if I remember correctly.

Which version do you run. (also shown during startup)

Please make a picture of the shield with the controller board removed.

The most common problems are enhancer jumper not set to 2-3, usage of the wrong resistor array (separate resistors isolated not bussed) or missing parts on the shield

I placed the jumper between the pins and still is only showing the PIN2DMD display letters. There's a another way to test it?  There's no missing files on the SD,  appart from the 3 I have?

 

Thanks.

You can run the input test in the onscreen menu as described on pin2dmd.com and shown in this video

That is o.k. Pin 13 only shows on the Nucleo boards and PIN9 runs through the LS123 and can´t be tested that way. 

With Jumper on 2-3 , enhancer needs to be set to ON in the onscreen menu.

You can also test with jumper in position 1-2 and enhancer set to OFF in the onscreen menu which bypasses the LS123 circuit.

Yes it's working ? I'm crying of happines.  Thanks really much!!

Now The only issue I have to solve is how to wire the shield with the ledboard, I'm testing with a P3 board and the shield fits well, but for the pinball it's too big I bought a P2.5 and cannot fit the shield. The HUB75 wire doesn't show anything if I extend the hub75 with the color wires to change the gender. The pins are changed on the hub75? Is there a special wire to that purpose?

Thanks again and for the eternity!

The pin2dmd V3 shield bottom connector was designed for the P2.5 panels sold 2 years ago. However you can connect the latest panels using the ribbon cable which comes with the panels connected to the topside connector.

All right! I didn't know that the topside was for that pourpose. Anyway, trying to connect de small power converter I plug it as in the website of the Pin2dmd in the gottlieb v3 and I started to see some smaoke. I  think the ST has beed burned. ?‍♂️

I will have to buy a new one! ? And let's hope not only the ST has been damaged.

You need to adjust the DC-DC converter to +4.8V before you use it.

Thanks, I have tested the componetns, the shield shows a green light, the memory card can be read. But the nucleo board is completely dead. ?

I must wait to until I buy a new one :(

Finally the new card arrived, but now the pannels doesn't show anyhting. The shield should be damaged as well ?
