Just curious for the people who got there plasma DMD's running. What type of wire did you use for everything?
I am trying to troubleshoot my DMD problem and wonder if my 18 gauge normal copper strand wire was the wrong choice.
@Zeb how long do you think it would take to get one of your DMD HV boards to Anchorage, AK, USA?

The Estimates from Canada Post are :
$23.00CAN for 7 day delivery
$40.00CAN for 3 day delivery
In reality...all depends on customs and how busy they are.

Scanned back to the beginning of the thread and found this.

The funny thing is, I recognize that circuit. LMAO. It's a 555 timer circuit, and it will result in a blinking LED. I couldn't tell you if it's wired up right, or what the period of the blinking is.

Rocco,
If you do another batch I will take at least 2 possible 3
OK, cool. I know there are a few others interested as well, so I'll start putting together another order with the manufacturer and will update this thread when I have more info. If anyone else is interested in getting their hands on one, please let me know so I can make sure to order enough of them.

Hy Rocco, could you order also a version for German voltages (230v, 50Hz), if it i possible that your manufacturer produce it, I will take one.

I'm in for a transformer and Zeb's Super Awesome Power Board (Does it have an official name yet?) when they are available.
I think that is all I will need. I've already got the pindmd2 and the vishay dmd.
Back to the garage to blow some fleck into the cabinet paint job. ![]()

Hi guys,
on the first post there is a sentence saying : 7) Vishay Plasma DMD (around $160.00, but UNAVAILABLE NOW): http://www.pinballli...=product&id=164, but when I follow the link it looks like I can order one, where is the truth ? ![]()

@antropus : thx for your update, while you're in editing :
in 1) Power Supply Board : the first 2 links do not work anymore. I think the right link for zeb power board is : http://zebsboards.co...es/dmdnh-detail
in 7) the second link doesn't work too, as the vendor has nothing to sell it should be safe to remove it completely and maybe to add this one : http://mad-amusement...?id_product=236

I think it was me that nabbed the last DMD Piggy at Pinball Life. At least, I haven't seen another one offered on the website since last summer.
XPin sells a daughter board or bridge that looks like requires the original WPC DMD driver board. It doesn't look like an option.
There are a couple of options based on Stern systems, but they require different input voltages than what is described in this thread.
As far as I can see that leaves Zebulon as the only game in town. He could sell these boards to the pinball aftermarket.
It's that or pay twice the price for a replacement DMD driver board.
