BENETNATH Posted September 7, 2019 Share Posted September 7, 2019 Hello, I've three shields from Germangaming . They were working well in vpin but now, I want to set them in two whitestar TSPP and LOTR. on both machines, with each cards, I've got the same issue, displays works but with a lot of vertical glitches See here : i've tried with enhancer off or on, same. The only difference against the shield layout was that I had no bridge resistor, so I put three resistors respectively in pin 1-2 , 3-4 and 5-6 for each BR slot. Any idea to solve that ?

Content Provider lucky1 Posted September 8, 2019 Content Provider Share Posted September 8, 2019 Maybe the supply power is too high. Set it to 4.8V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENETNATH Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 Thanks for your reply. I've already tried the tweaking screw on the power . No luck. I will measure the output. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted September 8, 2019 Content Provider Share Posted September 8, 2019 Which firmware version are you running ? I recommend testing 2.58, 2.68 and 3.04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENETNATH Posted September 8, 2019 Author Share Posted September 8, 2019 2.60 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted September 9, 2019 Content Provider Share Posted September 9, 2019 Please try 3.04 before we investigate further. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENETNATH Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 Hi, I've tried 3.04, no change, always the same parasites. Voltage is set at 4.73 When i turn off the pinball, image stays fix. I took some pictures of one shield. I don't know if that can impact, but the 220v feeding the 5V power unit is not coming from the pinball by itself, but from a different plug.

Content Provider lucky1 Posted September 9, 2019 Content Provider Share Posted September 9, 2019 You have a LS123 installed and the Jumper on 1-2 which is wrong. Set the jumper to 2-3 with the LS123 installed. Enhancer then needs to be set to ON. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENETNATH Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 I've also tried on 2-3 with Enhancer on, same thing. But i'll give another try to confirm Thanks for the assistance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rappelbox Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Please also check cable seating from the game display controller board. Whenever you make changes to the settings of the pin2dmd make sure you also save them! Like lucky1 already suggested:Set enhancer mode to “on”, and set the jumper to 2-3Kind regardsDom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENETNATH Posted September 10, 2019 Author Share Posted September 10, 2019 I've just tried with or without enhancer, jumper in each position, same issue. I've also tried on a Shadow Bally, same issue, to eliminate a cable seating issue. So same artefacts on 1 bally and 2 different whitestar. Now, I've just plugged the same setup (power+shield+ST card+panels) to my PC, no parasite at all in VPX, runs perfectly fine So there is something weird here.

Content Provider lucky1 Posted September 11, 2019 Content Provider Share Posted September 11, 2019 Your shield is only for discovery. V4 shield is for Nucleo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BENETNATH Posted September 12, 2019 Author Share Posted September 12, 2019 AND that was it. My three chinese ST32FM were perfect for pincab, but not in real pinball. I've just tried with a brand new genuine, flasedh the ST update (otherwise, i had no power in the ST card), and It's perfect without any glitch. Bottom of the line : chinese cheaper cards are troublesome Sad news, my 3 activation codes are useless, as linked to three cards that i will not use Thanks @lucky1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
