I understand we can generate them ourselves but for a brand new project I would feel much more confident if they were produced like the previous ones you have done. If not that is ok, I'm keen to get a batch done asap and just want to make sure everything is correct. Thank you!

Does the current processor have enough power to colorize 64 color and upscale? Wow that looks amazing!! Would love to see it installed in a game running full colorizarion!@ It uses STM32H7 @ 400Mhz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toibs Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 @lucky1 Awesome work !!! Just to understand here... Very interested in knocking one of these up for one of my real pinballs...... I get they will need a custom speaker panel... However this makes the CGC-style larger panels a real posability for a reasonable price... Soo.. Having never done one of these before.. as far as i can tell i need : 2 x https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001803946216.html 1 x populated controller from PCBWay.... 1 x Software licence Is this correct? Question - any rough idea on how much the Populated controller costs from PCBway (just so i know the approx costs) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Because so far I have only ordered the unpopulated PCB for my prototypes. Here is a video that show how you get a quote . You can skip the github download part.

stumblor Posted June 20, 2021 Share Posted June 20, 2021 20 hours ago, lucky1 said: It uses STM32H7 @ 400Mhz Regarding that processor, seems like it's out of stock at most places - the fabricator I use has no stock, and neither does any of the major suppliers, mouser, digikey, farnell etc. I don't know about PCBWay, but they usually order most of their parts in anyway, so I imagine they'd have the same issue. Ali has some, but these could be sketchy ripoffs. Seems like the one used on the 128x32 (STM32F427VIT6) is a bit better, is this definitely too under powered for the upscaling?

Additionally it uses a STM32H7 @400Mhz great job lucky their is a folder for the Nucleo board in the link to the project https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/tree/beta/hardware/V4 NUCLEO-144 can we use the Nucleo board with this panels. I was in the process of building some shields for the regular size panels, and almost ordered the Sega 2X sized RGB panels. but decided not to. can you post a pictures on how the scaling looks for this tittles on this style of RGB panels.

BrewNinja Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I just got a quote back from PCBWay. Yikes. There are a lot of things it appears they are overpaying for because they are hard to source and you got to pay what you got to pay to get them. Anyways, currently, 5 boards are $600 assembled in case anyone is wondering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder how hard it may be to make the bezel from wood or plexi or sacrifice bezel. Edited June 22, 2021 by trueno92 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zigzagzag Posted June 23, 2021 Share Posted June 23, 2021 I cannot seem to find the Centroid file ... could someone point me in the right direction ? If I choose "Add to cart" on PCBWay, only the Gerber file seems to come through. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pinballuser Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) the thing is that most of us only want one. we can't or don't plan to spend over $500 ordering EVO boards in bulk and then trying to sell what we don't plan to keep. I don't mind ordering Nucleo based PCBs in bulk and then building them given that the total cost for them is not that big. I just spent $16 on 5 PCBs ($5 on the PCBs and $10 for shipping) https://www.elecrow.com/pcb-manufacturing.html less then $20 on components for 5 VP only shields I had the LEDs, Male Header Pins and IDC socket a Nucleo based option is better for us DIYers Edited July 25, 2021 by Pinballuser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you are DIYers why not make one yourself. The schematics fo the EVO are on github, You just need to copy them to a Nucleo design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why should it not work ? I used the H743 Nucleo-144 to test the design. Btw the first shields were designed by members of the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinballuser Posted July 25, 2021 Share Posted July 25, 2021 (edited) a few posts back I asked if we could use the Nucleo board with this panels and you said no. I guess I should of been more clear, I should of asked if we could use the Nucleo Board with an updated Shield to work with this panels.
