Hi All,

Has anyone installed an external 12 volt power supply to a Sigma color dmd?
If you've created your own, Id love to know how to do it.
Or if you know someone who is selling such a thing, please let me know.

Thanks!

Thanks all! I just wanted to mention that I love my Color DMDs ( I have three), they are awesome!

Im grasping at straws to come up with a fix for my TAF resetting problems, this is what Ive tried so far-

Ive replaced the varisistor. I have a color dmd on my TAF and I have resetting issues from time to time. Ive been told that a resetting issue could be caused by a bad bridge rectifier and capacitor on the WPC driver board. I sent the board into a professional board repair person and was told that my board was fine.

I have my TAF and three other machines plugged into a power conditioner, TAF has always had resetting issues and the others have not.

I also purchased a daughterboard from Kahr daugherboard for resetting issues (http://www.kahr.us/daughterboard.html). I have the daughterboard plugged into all of my machines and they work just fine. When I plug the daughterboard into the TAF, only half the lights work and the dmd either does not work or looks all garbled up. I contacted Kahr and described the symptoms and he told me to check the board in the other machines, it works just fine, so he suspects that I have a bad bridge rectifier and capacitor on my driver board.

Should I just have the driver board re-tested ? My driver board is a Rottendog, the CPU is an original, I just had it tested also, CPU was replaced due to battery acid leak.

UGH.
