PIN2DMD-XL only booting after hitting RESET Button


Recommended Posts

Well, the headline describes it basically...

I have a PIN2DMD-XL Evolution board that is only booting if I hit the reset button... single press is enough but without it, no picture.

Has anyone experienced this before?

I had the same problem with mine (same model of Pin2DMD) - initially, I dropped two wires off the card and shorted them out at the start of play - ended up hooking the reset of the DMD onto the rest of the driver card via a zener and a resistor (the driver card runs at 5V, the DMD at 3v3). regarding the above post, you've got to be pretty hot at soldering to change the CPU.   I did try changing the capacitors in the reset circuit etc but, to no avail.

Hello, I had this at the beginning with mine, it was a boot timing issue with the sd card that was fixed by Joerg with a new firmware, around 3.18. What's your fw version?
