Any suggestions? Is it necessary to activate for something to come out in the matrix? Maybe it would help somebody - I got the same result (two illuminated lines but on EVO 128) with one of my SD cards (that works perfectly with a card reader on PC). Replacing the SD card, in my case, works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoby78 Posted November 30, 2021 Share Posted November 30, 2021 Hi Lucky, Apologies to ask but do you have a gerber file you can share for the 256x64. I have looked at the PCBWay shared project site, and they only list the centroid and BOM. The gerber just automatically loads when you add to cart. I have had quite a few quality control issues with PCBway in the past and have found elecrow to be more reliable, hence needing a copy of the gerber. many thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider lucky1 Posted November 30, 2021 Author Content Provider Share Posted November 30, 2021 You can generate the gerber from the eagle files published on github yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFool Posted December 1, 2021 Share Posted December 1, 2021 Thank you Lucky and legolas24 for sharing this. I received the same panels as legolas24 from the link on the first page as well. I have been a bit nervous and wasn't sure if they would work. I wouldn't even know where to start, I am still learning and really appreciate all the time and work being done on this. The pictures are really helping me as well. Thanks again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If there are things not clear or missing, please ask me/tell me. I have included the Eagle files, the gerber files for manufacturing, the partlist, a .DXF for a laser cut panel (copied the board outline from the EVO HD PCB file), a picture of the .DXF file when opened and a picture of how I imagined the shield to be placed on the RGB panels. Shield PCB dimensions: ~120x120cm. -René PIN2DMD_HD_Shield.zipFetching info... thank you for doing this, I tried to order some PCBs but did not add the correct dimensions, I added 100x100 similar to the standard DMD size V4 version shield. the cost for those boards was ; (X5) boards for $4.90 + shipping the price for X5 Boards @ 120x120mm is $25.39 + shipping they told me that if this PCB dimensions are changed to 100x100. The cost will go down to $4.90 for the 5 boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I make my PCB's at JLCPCB and have good experience with them. This 120x120m PCB would cost $10 without shipping at JLCPCB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legolas24 Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 Hello, I finally have my pin2dmd working, but I have a problem with FX3. It doesn't look good and when I get out of it it says the following "communication error check cabelling and firmware version" leaving me the pin2dmd inoperative until I restart it. Any suggestion?

Content Provider lucky1 Posted December 30, 2021 Author Content Provider Share Posted December 30, 2021 I´m not up to date with my vpin installation but isn´t FX3 using Freezy to display its content and which currently does not support 64 colors or HD ? I don´t know of any dmddevice.dll interface for FX3 which can directly use my DLL but maybe I´m wrong. Which pin2dmd firmware version are you running ?

I update to 4.30 and I use PUPDMDCONTROL with script from nailbuster for pin2dmd. I have not tried with dmdext / freezy 1.9, I do not know the script, but I suspect that it may not work with HD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dom69 Posted January 11, 2022 Share Posted January 11, 2022 (edited) hi everyone, i have upgraded the firmware to dfu 4.30 no worries. on the other hand if I want to put it back, impossible dfu reset does nothing. Do you think the ICND2153AP works? Edited January 12, 2022 by dom69 I went back to reading, dfu and power it's ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legolas24 Posted January 15, 2022 Share Posted January 15, 2022 As I have not been able to get FX3 to go with pin2dmd HD, I decided to leave the dmd on the lcd and thought of loading a logo on pin2dmd. The problem is that I use the command "pin2dmd /i image.ppm" but it does not put any image, I have tried all the examples on github but nothing. However, if I use the command "pin2dmd /r", it resets the pin2dmd without problems. that eliminates the fact that there is no communication for usb, I don't know if some special type of ppm is needed as it is HD, Someone has tried?

Based on the PIN2DMD for < $135, I ordered mine from Elecrow PCB I paid $17 for X5 of the V4 shields, I think shipping has increased since I ordered this I paid $26 for X5 (but got 6) for the 120X120m HD shields. Paid for them on Dec-10 got hem on Dec-23 only problem I have now; is that the panels I ordered are different from the ones posted by Lucky1. the panels Lucky1 used have 2 connectors, mine only has one. The panels I got have the JXI5123GP display driver. https://www.dropbox.com/s/rontui83im7oy9x/IMG_20220122_121504335.jpg?dl=0 I asked the manufacture about this and said they are the same panels . I tried my 5V 5A power supply from my V4 shield and was told I needed a 5V 40A power supply for this panels. @lucky1 Lucky1, I downloaded the latest master pack from the github, but noticed that the firmware for the Evo board has a different versions for each panel size: Data East 128X16, Standard 128X32, HD and XL. But the Nucleo only has 2, One for the Standard 128x32 and the XL. What firmware version do I use for the HD 256X64 if any one is intreated, Once they are fully tested, I will have 3 V4 versions for sale and 3 HD versions for sale and an extra DYI version. https://www.dropbox.com/s/qpwkdhd5mb6imo0/IMG_20220123_102710060.jpg?dl=0 @Rene368: you might want to set up your Beer me. a donation will come your way once I get rid of my extra shields Edited January 23, 2022 by Pinballuser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider Rene368 Posted March 1, 2022 Content Provider Share Posted March 1, 2022 We are several months further since my pictures of the nucleo HD board. @Rappelbox has had a prototype made of version 1.0 and this resulted in a few points for improvement. V1.1 is now ready for release. I'm happy to share the files with the community. !!! NOTE: The chinese LED panels can have the magnets/screw holes in another position than desired. Becasue of this, the position of the magnets/screw holes should always be checked if they will not touch any electical components on the PCB. If this is the case, you can simply put a piece of tape over this area. !!! PIN2DMD_NUCLEO_HD_BOARD_V11.zip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
