The only thing that sucks about this is I'm going to have a sweet looking DMD and my cabinet still isn't painted laugh.gif

Where is the best place to order the ribbon cable that connects the did to this board.
I have the same dmd as h4ch3r.

The last thing i want to do is blow up this $300 dmd

Ribbon cable or Power cable?

Ribbon cable comes with the board... Power cable, PM me, I am building one for me, I can build you one too.

He's including the ribbon cable with the board. I don't think you can blow out the board putting the ribbon cable in wrong, if you can even do that. I have put ribbon cables in backwards before on regular DMDs without any problems. Now the power connector, that you should be concerned about getting right.

you may not be looking forward to that batch but, we are tongue.gif

have you already commissioned them for the next batch. I assume you were waiting to make sure this batch worked properly first? How long can we expect till the next batch. This one took 4 weeks right?

Allright, mail received and payment sent, congrats russ, can't wait to test it drinks.gif

I'm wondering, I have receive two invitations to pay, does that mean somebody else can be added to the first batch instead?

Also, I only count 28 names to this list, is this normal?
