Just a head's up ...

 

Piggyback boards, transformers, plasma DMDs, and PinDMDs (already available) will be listed on the VIrtuaPin site in the very near future.

 

We'll also be offering a great price on a pre-wired, drop and mount setup with all the above and speaker panel.

 

Any update on when these kits will be available?

anyone had this problem? DMD has been hooked up to a real machine and has no dead pixels but when hooked up to the cab with pindmd2, piggyback board and power supply from this thread it's not fully working. I couldn't find the wire clips to attach to the molex connectors so I wonder if the wire to the molex isn't complete enough to power

I would definitely double check for your 12v, 5v, and ground connections

Double checked those. They are solid. I went straight from my PSU to the dmd piggy. I changed my wire from 12 gauge stranded to 20 gauge solid core wire. I think my problem is I didn't get the .156 trifurcon male parts. I just ordered some so I can get some better connections to the molex connectors. Hope it works

Hey guys! I am not working on a virtual pinball pinball, but I'm working on an arcade cabinet which will also feature pinball support. So I got myself a PinDMD2 a long time ago and since I now have space to build the thing, I ordered a DMD. Seems that it was plasma, and I already panicked about getting it powered. This topic has been amazing. I ordered a powering board from Zedsboards already, so I now have 1-3 months to get a transformer to get the 80v / 100v. I live in The Netherlands, (230VAC) if anybody knows a site where I can get a transformer for 80v/100v or 2 separate ones, I would be very happy

Awesome thread full of information, laugh, emotion, excitement, and drama. Best thread of 2014 for me.

 

Doing the DMD Vishay convertion like all of you

[maestro300]

Okay so I hate to "bring up the obvious" but since this thread started over a year ago-- are the same parts needed to get an authentic Vishay DMD to work?     I'm at the point where I'm ready to buy one for my virtual cabinet and just need a simple breakdown on all the parts needed for a real DMD to work.   Sorry I tried searching this thread but so many pages/info its hard to tell if technology changed to make it any easier or if you still need all the same parts listed on page 1 of this topic.

Many thanks!

[antropus]

Same parts. The transformer is being sold by VirtuaPin as well. Other than that, the other parts are all the same.

Here's a link to the 80/100v transformer sold by this very website:

Thanks!  So this is what I need "in a nutshell"

 

DMD Piggy (Is this offically gone?)   Is Zebulon the correct alternative for this?

80/100V transformer

(PC Power supply for 12v + 5v) + connectors listed

PinDMD

Plasma DMD (of course)

 

Making sure my shopping list is correct.

DMD Piggy will be on the VirtuaPin site in a few days.

 

They're on their way!

 

[maestro300]

Awesome!   Is the 80/100v transformer actually supplying both of those voltages?   Just making sure I only need one transformer instead of two separate 100v and 80v transformers.

 

DMD Piggy will be on the VirtuaPin site in a few days.

 

They're on their way!

 

[clutester]

Yes it does both. If you don't have 22 gage wire or the IDC wire installation tool or you can use a small flat head screwdriver you might want to pick those up as well.

The Piggyback boards will come with the necessary wire harnesses to run a plasma DMD on a virtual unit.

 

[vampirolatino2]

How much will be the cost of the piggyback Noah?

$39.95 for the board and two harnesses. One for power from PSU and one to DMD.

[vampirolatino2]

Nice price. Thanks for the fast answer

 

edit: brought the transformer.
