DMDMK66 price 185 €
preconfigured SD card +9€
Amber Filter +19€
freight cost 26€.

thats what i payed a month ago

sold my old PIN2DMD for 165€ + shipping .....

Be nice to see the feed back in 3 and 6 months time after all the original components have been placed under some stress for long period of time.

what stress?

Stress of 12288 leds drawing upto 4amps from 5v/12v rails that are not really designed to have that sort of current drawn from them on some system's

not my problem....got a 450W PC PSU for Pinsound/DMDMK66 and misc LED stuff....

do you have all the LEDs on at brightest output all the time or just occasonally?

Probably is a good idea to have a separate PSU for the 192x64 ones. Highly doubt the 192x32 and 192x16 will pose a problem though.

Not necessary, it's not a problem to begin with. Zero evidence of issues. Russ people are tuning you and other non-buyers out because of the non-stop rumor-based negativity with an agenda.

No, it's because the technical community has looked at this prior and didn't do it. It's not "magic" as someone would make you believe.. it's potentially very shortsighted.

Right it's not magic, it's just something Luis devised to solve a problem. And respectfully he keeps it close to his chest.

There is no mystery. He's already said it can work without the high voltage lines, which means he's using the 12V that is on the cable. It's that or boost from the 5V supply.. and that's less likely since he needs the 12V and we didn't get all these rounds of "I had a new idea..." prototyping. He likely just decided to take the 12V right on that cable.. which other experienced designs have opt'd not to do. It's not some new discovery of a 12V source

Again be our guest, buy one, and upload a video of it causing issues with voltage. Oh wait, you wouldn't buy one anyway. Prove it or it's fake news, I'm leaving it there.

You wouldn't happen to believe the earth is flat do you? Your logic is about the same...

...because nobody has proven the earth isn't flat? Your logic is nonexistent. Your bias is evident though, isn't there another thread you can have this argument with yourself in?

I will say that while most likely have their DMDMK66's in a home use environment - mine is in a MSF on location - and has been for the last 3 weekends - thus it has been on many, many hours so far - and....no problems....

Downvote me all you want, you don't see anybody jumping up and down about statements like this:

No speculation about the issues this might cause, no nothing. Just a constant stream of garbage.

The load ColorDMD puts on the existing supplies... and potential issue when a game is loaded up with other power hungry mods is not new, nor any secret. ColorDMD even mentions the 12V supply on their support website - http://www.colordmd.com/support_troubleshoot.html#flipper

No one is 'jumping up and down' because everyone already knows these facts and its been this way from the start. Maybe you're just late to the party?

The difference is this mod is claiming 'magic' and doing things no one else can/has done. The "magic" board has his same variable input regulator he's cited multiple times in the thread as he's moved from an external PS, to the 5A regulator, and now a 10A rated regulator. It looks like he's loaded up on capacitors since then as well.. probably trying to soften the peaks that the LED panel will draw as it's load will vary significantly and to try to avoid causing issues with the game supply.

No one is commenting on Randy's comments because it's nothing new nor has it proven to be a radical statement or even risky for most. Those with tons of mods resort to an extra powersupply for their own needs. The topic here is this design, and it's claims.

Im just waiting to see 5 colors on screen at the same time from this. All Ive seen is color palette changes.

I think everyone is.

Hey Luis , when can we expect the latest firmware (v1.8) for the big DMD?

Enable overclocking?

What's the latest on the update Luis?

The custom hex color codes are a big step! Awesome!

Now let's get v1.8 released for the 192x64 please so that's one less thing Lucky1 can troll about....

MSPaint also works for more precision, just convert the RGB decimal values to hex using a converter site (Google it).

sure thing...send away...I'll test it...you still have my email I believe..

Hey Luis what is status of 128x16 Colour DMD?

I find it mildly "coincidental" that when this DMDMK66 gets down to the most important task -- frame-by-frame coloring -- it is abandoned for other FAR less lucrative projects. There are literally tens of thousands (maybe hundreds) of DMD-based pinballs that would benefit from full color displays. There are a fractional number of CFTBLs in need of a hologram mod (which technically not even a hologram).

Considering we haven't seen even one single 128x32 or other example in full color, perhaps the competitors and naysayers were right all along. Maybe the thought of a single solution, cost effective, community collaborated DMD coloring effort is a pipe dream? Who knows, but my excitement and patience for this project is wearing to the point where I'm almost ready to concede.

I think you're wrong about less lucrative. CftBL holo-mod will be far more lucrative, hence why it's prioritised. The price these kits are being sold at, there isn't much profit margin.

The holo-mod should be expensive enough that he can get a decent nominal profit margin. Also, there's zero competition from others there, unless you count Mike's, which is no longer in production and using several years old tech. These DMDs, there's a lot of competition. There's PIN2DMD (of which there are 3 suppliers including Luis, plus DIY), DIY SmartDMD, ColorDMD, and finally FAST are supposedly about to launch their DMD stuff soon.

I can't help but wonder if it really was a good idea to rebuild everything from scratch on your own. It is a pity that we didn't manage to agree on a common approach ... at least make the file formats interchangeable (for colorization).
So sad ...

v1.84 is up and running in Frank...everything looks good...will get video....

Yep...AP works and the additional colors are working....that's an ugly pink ...LOL.....

From the looks of that photo the filter you include seems to do a great job at blurring the RGB LEDs together to a single color dot. Any comparison photos with and without the filter?
