I'm checking to see if there is enough interest to run another batch for 2019. like the previous batches, the number of clocks in the run will be limited to 24
NOTE:if you are interested in obtaining a pinball dmd or jumbo sized clock, please reach out to ddebuss (daniel debusschere) here on pinside or via email @ [email protected] (and tell him that I sent you his way)

clock description:
assembled using custom laser-cut acrylic panels, the clocks use (2) two P5 sized rgb LED panels, which are mounted side-by-side to display the 128x32 dot resolution (the same resolution and aspect ratio as pinball DMD). each clock measures approximately 28.00" (w) x 7.50" (h) x 1.50" (d)
although the clock can only display monochrome colored animations, the user has the ability to select between one of 7 colors (red, green, blue, yellow, purple (magenta), teal or white) by toggling the six dip switches accessible from the backside of the clock (see below for legend)
color selectable dip-switch settings [on - up, off - down]:

the clocks ship ready to mount on the wall (with 2 hanging holes [16" on center]) or can be placed on a shelf or desktop with only a small amount of assembly required (install the front panel using the enclosed hardware and tools
the front, transparent gray acrylic panel is shipped with the protective paper still attached on both sides to prevent any accidental scratches during transit
featuring a custom designed, laser cut acrylic front and rear panels, the front is a dark transparent grey (to neatly hide the internal components when the clock is not powered on) and the rear panel is black with material that has a glossy front side and matte back side (to help reduce/eliminate fingerprints).
custom cut-outs in the rear panel allow access to: CR2032 battery, the power cable port, a 6-pin ICSP header to facilitate updating the run-dmd pc board's firmware and the 6 toggle switch block to change the clock's display color
a microchip pickit 3 or 4 is required to update the clock's onboard firmware and a pc-based computer to update/re-image the SD card using hddraw copy software
information regarding how to adjust the many options found in the clock can be found here:

a youtube video on how to properly install the CR2032 battery can be found here:
the cost per clock is $450 plus shipping, and each clock includes the following:
- a mostly assembled run-dmd clock
- (1) CR2032 lithium coin battery (to store all user defined settings and keep time when the clock is powered off)
- (1) 5v, 10a power supply to power the clock with a 6' grounded 3-prong cable (north american standard)

NOTE:
please take the time to read the .pdf user guide linked above prior to attempting to change/adjust any of the clock settings (especially the ones under the TOOLS menu option
PLEASE READ the NOTE at the bottom of this post PRIOR attempting to modify the settings of your clock
activating the "detect DMD" option will attempt to re-detect the various compatible dmd panel types connected to your run-dmd pc board. if your panels are working correctly, you
DO NOTwant to select this option
NOTE 2:
if you turn off the clock prior to selecting a new display type, your clock will not display correctly the next time you power it up after selecting this option. if you do select this option, you need to go through the process of re-selecting the correct display type (by pressing and holding down button 3, while powering up the clock and then waiting for the display types to begin to cycle and confirming the correct display type with button 4

NOTE 3:
DO NOTattempt to read the SD card in your computer. due to the nature of how the information is [blindly] written, your computer will report that the card is not formatted.
DO NOTformat the card, otherwise you will lose all of your settings and animations stored on the SD card
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> READ ME <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
is your clock displaying 2/4 bright horizontal lines when powering up and nothing more?
- eject and re-insert the SD card to ensure that it is making connection in the card slot on the run-dmd pc board
is your clock displaying either corrupt or no animations? check out this thread:
