psmmacker Posted July 27, 2019 Posted July 27, 2019 Hi i got 1 p2.5 and 1 p3 set of rgb panels and pin2dmd works great But when i using p4 and p5 sets im getting flicking issues on some games flintstones austin powers i tried shooter idc rgb 16 pin ribbon cable between controller and panals and had no luck power packs as well no change or could this be a issue with the pin2dmd firmware as it was only meant to be written for 2.5 and 3 p panels and it cant seem to handle p4 and p5 at higher resolution as the scan setting may be different Regards Paul
Content Provider lucky1 Posted July 27, 2019 Content Provider Posted July 27, 2019 I don´t think that it is a firmware problem but it never experimented with larger panels. I can´t help you with that. Sorry.
psmmacker Posted July 27, 2019 Author Posted July 27, 2019 Ok it can also be a driver chip timing issus on the panels them self i also tried duel display option same result p3 and p2.5 works together p3 with p4 p5 same issues both has a power patch each set

Content Provider lucky1 Posted July 28, 2019 Content Provider Posted July 28, 2019 @latenite04 posted this picture on pinside. I think he used P5 like these https://de.aliexpress.com/item/32760855293.html with pin2dmd firmware.
latenite04 Posted July 28, 2019 Posted July 28, 2019 Those are the panels I used. I had it hooked up to street fighter with it's own shield direct mounted and a dedicated power supply and I didn't notice any flickering. On South Park I have it running off of the hub extension for the pin2dmd I have in the machine, so both displays are running at the same time and on the same power supply, and I did notice a bit of flickering when the screen was mostly black. I figured it had to do with the 3 foot 16 pin cable I was using and hadn't had time to look into it. South Park: Street Fighter, the odd split screen was due to the firmware on the shield at the time once I updated that it went away.:
psmmacker Posted August 1, 2019 Author Posted August 1, 2019 What firmware version you using as i was using a old version and it could be a issue that it is out of date and i using the free one beta firmware that was released before for u needed to buy a activsion key to use the firmware that uncal sash gave me Regards Paul

The 1.x firmware you use had a lot of timing problems and your issues are most likely caused by that. I would say "case closed"
