PedroFilipe Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 good, I may have to pay customs fee in relation to what I pay for the soldered 128x32 pin2dmd pcb ? how does it work with customs duties? will i have to pay customs fees? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fly Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 depending on the country, there are different duty rates, how do we know how it is in your country ?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PedroFilipe Posted February 14, 2020 Share Posted February 14, 2020 I don't really know what Portugal is like in my country. I think they apply 23% to the purchase price of the order and I think you still pay a fee of 12 euros. I'm not sure. I would appreciate help. any way to not have to pay the customs duty?

For your first installation you can download all files here https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/archive/master.zip and extract them in a local folder. 3) Power the controller board using a external power supply 4) Set controller into DFU boot mode with the following procedure: – EVO board hold DFU button – press/release the reset button – release DFU button. 5) Connect the controller board to the PC using a mini-USB cable. 6) Flash firmware using DfuSEDemo choose/upgrade function 7) Set controller into run mode and powercycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenHur Posted April 15, 2020 Share Posted April 15, 2020 Hello, I made my second order on pcbway. I just received my pcb and none work. The only difference in welding between my first order and my second is the L3 which is not in the same direction. This bacth doesn't work (new batch) This old batch works, I don't know if the way of L3 is important. Is there an impact? The power LED does not light up when I connect the 12v to x1.

Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 15, 2020 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 15, 2020 The component shown is a inductor which does not have a polorization. Check the components in that area for proper solder connections and the orientation of the diodes D4,D2 etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenHur Posted April 16, 2020 Share Posted April 16, 2020 Hello, Thanks lucky1 for your help. I just check all the orientation of the diodes and all are in good way. Do you have other tips to help me. May from Pcbway asks me to check the components, but I'm not and expert and I don't know where starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 16, 2020 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 16, 2020 You could try a external 5V 4A powersupply and attach it to the SAM connector. This would bypass the DC-DC converter circuit. I also asked you to check the components in that area for proper solder connections. Maybe with a Multimeter. Did you do that ? Did you check the polarization and the supply voltage of the power supply you use for testing ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you say me what I need to test , to confirm that! Now that i have been able to implant the pin2dmd bios, it starts up, i can configure it, but the screen flickers. I tried display which does not flicker on other functional pin2dmd and it flickers too, so there is another problem. Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 17, 2020 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 17, 2020 The flickering is caused by a supply voltage which is too high. 4.8V is recommended. Depending on the panels it starts to flicker at 5V. Could you make a closeup picture of the DC-DC converter circuit ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BenHur Posted April 18, 2020 Share Posted April 18, 2020 Hello, Problems on this batch never stop... ? Today, I try my 5 new pin2dmd on my Indiana Johns. 3 works perfectly (for the color, not 12vpower ?) 2 doesn’t have the good color, they are too green or too white, impossible to adjust them even by restoring the parameters of pin2dmd. Do I need to reload the bios? I already try to format the sdcard and re download files but nothing change.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted April 18, 2020 Author Content Provider Share Posted April 18, 2020 Sounds like a bad connection / solder joint at the downside panel connector. Do you have a picture of the too white and too green panel ? I would also resolder all connection on the DC-DC converter circuit and see if that solves the problem there. Start with the 5 pins of the XL4015 and see what happens. The bad assembly quality must be due delay and stress of the covid lockdown. I have never experienced anything like that.
