Pinballservicedenekamp Posted January 13, 2021 Share Posted January 13, 2021 Hi guys, My pin2dmd just arrived, and I've plugged it in to my roadshow, unfortunately it just stays on this screen. I've activated the license key en copied the key to the sd card in my DMD. Who could help me out? Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted January 13, 2021 Content Provider Share Posted January 13, 2021 A little more information of what you did and maybe pictures how you connected it would be helpful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mageek Posted January 14, 2021 Share Posted January 14, 2021 Is the blue data light flashing? Make sure the data cable is properly oriented Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinballservicedenekamp Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 @magneek Thank you, i have a green LED who's lighting up at the back side of the display, I've tried the ribbon cable, but that is in the right position Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinballservicedenekamp Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 Here a picture of the back side, I didn't build it myself, I ordered it at pinball.center I've got the power from j118. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinballservicedenekamp Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 When I'm opening test input on my dmd itself it says pin 11 & 17 closed, is that correct? And when I'm opening test Rs232 it says loop error. Could this be a link with my problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The correct usage of the input test is described here https://pin2dmd.com/#3 The onscreen menu is also descibed there. Did you try to reset the settings to default in the onscreen menu ?

Pinballservicedenekamp Posted January 14, 2021 Author Share Posted January 14, 2021 I'll check the pins tomorrow, Yes I've tried to reset the settings to default, but that didn't do anything. When I'm starting a gameplay, the display still stays on the pin2dmd start screen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinballservicedenekamp Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 @lucky1 I just Checked all my inputs, and they are correct. What is the next thing I can check? Regards, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinballservicedenekamp Posted January 15, 2021 Author Share Posted January 15, 2021 Also with a external use of power and without a flat cable connected does the loop error stay, could that be a clue for this error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loop error is from the RS232 test because TX and RX from the RS232 interface is not bridged. That is not the cause of your problem. Does a plasma work ?
