hi

I would like to dump the images directly onto my pinball
the pin2dmd i bought mounted works on the pinball machine
on the other hand when I connect my pin2dmd display, my pc does not find it

I installed stm32 and when I click on connect, the same is not recognized
I am on windows 8.1
I read a lot of tutorials but couldn't find anything.
Can someone help me
THANKS

First of all which PIN2DMD hardware do you have ?  https://pin2dmd.com/hardware/

 

Does anything show up in the windows device manager when you connect the pin2dmd ?

What does show up ?

What do you mean with stm32 ? The ST-Link utility ? 

To make a dump you need the pin2dmd.exe tool from my github https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/tree/master/tools

Do you connect to the USB next to the network port on the Nucleo ?

Did you try a different cable or a different USB port on your PC ?

thank you for your help

 

 

Did you enable "list all devices" in options ?

No need to connect the other USB socket on the Nucleo. It is only used for programming.

Did you change the USB port on the PC ? Did you try a different PC ? 

Could you make a screenshot of the Windows "Device Manager" ?

Does the device manager refresh when you disconnect and connect the pin2dmd ?

hi

I tested the display on another computer but it's the same: when you plug or unplug the display, nothing happens on the device manager

thank you

Strange thing is that I have a group called USB-Controller which you also have named "Controleurs de bus USB" but additionally I have 

a group called "USB-Devices" with the same USB plug symbol which is missing in your list.  Did you install the USB drivers for your motherboard from the manufacturer ?

Salut

J'ai testé l'écran sur un autre ordinateur mais c'est pareil : quand on branche ou débranche l'écran, rien ne se passe sur le gestionnaire de périphériques

merci

I haven't installed anything, these are probably updates
I did new tests on my pinball machine and now when I plug in the pin2dmd, my computer rings (test 2), nothing happens during test 1
What must I do now?
THANKS

1er Test is the correct connection You need to power your pin2dmd with 5V from a external power supply to use it. 

The controller is NOT powered through USB . The LED panels draw too much current !

hi

Thanks to you all for your help
by plugging in as you told me, I was able to update

however, I still have a problem: when I run pin2dmd.exe, I get the message

That´s a communication problem. Is the device activated ?

If yes maybe downgrade the winusb driver using zadig utility and/or change the cable.

Posted

that's it, I managed to install the zadig driver
now i can change the light intensity of the display
to do a dump, I connect the display to the flipper, launch color prism2dmd, select bally/williams, select create dump file and choose the folder
after a few seconds, I have a first message:

then a few seconds later I have a second message

I tried on my no good gofers and on my creature from the black lagoon and it's the same thing
do you have any idea what i am doing wrong

 

thank you

that's it, it works I installed the 32-bit version, but this one worked less well than the 64-bit version
suddenly, I put the 64 bits back and despite a few stops, I manage to make dumps
I start or at least try to colorize my pinball machines and will put the results on the site
thank you for your help... willy
