Ashram56 Posted October 8, 2020 Share Posted October 8, 2020 Good morning, May I know what are the conditions to get access to PIN2DMD source code ? I'm not specifically interested into building something that would mimic Pin2DMD, I'm more interested into the DMD protocol itself (from a Stern SAM/Whitestar/etc). Idea is to grab the DMD frame, generate trigger based on this (very similar to what is done in the PuP pack world on a pincab), and other activities. So I'm not necessarily interested into the whole source code, just the "frame grabber" portion Is there any limitation to access it ?

Content Provider lucky1 Posted October 8, 2020 Content Provider Share Posted October 8, 2020 That functionality does already exist in pin2dmd. You can define keyframes which generate a 3byte packet (1byte device ID (1-255), 1 byte command (1-255), Nullbyte as terminator) on the serial port. There is also a open source pinball DMD project which contains all information you want. Have a look at https://github.com/ecurtz/RGB_DMD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ashram56 Posted October 8, 2020 Author Share Posted October 8, 2020 Thanks for your response, indeed the github you are referring to is a good starting point, as my goal is to essentially deploy it on a RPI or equivalent (I know about SmartDMD, but I prefer to go the open source route, as SmartDMD being closed source I can't modify and add to it easily).
