Hi Russ

Not sure if you put me on the list. Would like to try one and if it works out I will buy a second one for my second machine.

Let me know

5 Volt Vishay Part number - LEE128G032B000E90
Crap video I am afraid buy the board works a treat.
Very easy to install and no need to even rotate the DMD to the right direction anymore!
Brilliant work russdx. Recommend this board HIGHLY!

Thanks for the verification maxxsinner, I just ordered my Vishay display online!

Todd.

Hi Todd,

I live in Whitby, Ontario and I was wondering where you got the Vishay screen from. I also wanted to know if you are still attending the church of pinball in mississauga. I was there once and they mentioned that one of the guys was into making digital pinball machines. I mentioned my projects and they said that the person lived on the east end of the city.

Anyways, nice to see that this hobby is taking off in Canada.

Let me know if you can.

All the best.

( PS if you are attending an event, I would like to meet you to discuss the Digital Pinball stuff as I have done lighting on my machine with a three monitor setup. )

I ordered mine from the Newark / element14 website. They shipped it via UPS World Ease Saver and I got it the next day.
They are low on stock and probably in shock as to why the sudden surge in orders has occured:
element14 - Vishay LED DMD

Here's the place to check IF there will be COTSB pinball faith night:
COTSB - Pinball Faith

and sometimes I update this thread:
COTSB current events

If you see there is a pinball faith, just shoot me a PM to see if I'm going or not.


Best Regards,
Todd.
p.s. I'm about 45 minutes west of Whitby, in Markham.

Could someone post/repost the video with the segmented numerical display? I can't seem to find it. Unless one never was made in the first place? Thanks!

[njamont]

Maybe i looked over it

But how much in total with shipping to holland?

And can i drive the dmd with 5v coming from my pc power supply?

[maxxsinner]

For those that wanted to see how to connect the 5 volt Vishay DMD to a PC power supply. Use the red wire from a hard drive molex plug for the 5 volts and connect it to the DMD via a 1.5 amp fast blow fuse. Then connect the ground directly to the dmd as show.

If your using the 12 volt plasma, obviously just use the 12 volt yellow wire and adjacent ground and use a 4 amp fuse.
Make sure your power supply can handle the extra load.

If you using the multi voltage plasma... your on your own
But please share your results if you get it going....

.....can i drive the dmd with 5v coming from my pc power supply?

I think I saw this mentioned in an earlier post; if so, the answer is Yes. It might not hurt to consider the wattage demand of the DMD, but most cabinets have pretty beefy power supplies, so it sounds good to me.

[njamont]

I should plan with some folks in holland to buy these like 5 at a time much cheaper then...

lowest price i have seen was 220 euros

That's perfect! What about the data (ribbon cable) though? is that included russdx? or will we have to make one? Thanks!

[maxxsinner]

The ribbon cable is keyed so you cannot get it wrong.

OK c00L, any idea where we get the cable from? What's the maximum length?

[russdx]

i bought loads of idc cables and will throw these in with the boards !!!!


while im waiting for the boards to be assembled i will make a little site explaining what the board does, what comes with it, how to use it and how to order it!!


is this the video you was after?

Edited by russdx, 09 February 2012 - 01:51 PM.

[njamont]

How much are the boards plus shipping to NL?

[russdx]

board is $80
shipping $8 (recorded delivery)

[kruge99]

good news about the idc cable! That means I won't have to make one myself.

As for the youtube link, it says embedding has been disabled and redirects to the youtube page to watch it, but at youtube it says the video has been marked private?
