Thought I'd do a quick summary here for those following, as I've read through this entire thread quite a few times trying to figure a few things out. This might help some people in the future:
Pin2DMD Power:
- do NOT use the 12V from the old DMD power cable, it won't work. Forget about this cable, you don't need it once you're using a Pin2DMD
- The EVO version of Pin2DMD has a "12V" with two screw terminals. It connects to a XL4015 buck converter that can take anything from 8V to 36V so 20V is fine
- The easiest source of power is the P1 terminal on the top right of the Driver Board A3. This is the place recommended on the Pin2DMD website (https://pin2dmd.com/hardware/ point 3) and it's what I've used and it works great. No need for an external power supply. Clip some wire splicer/tappers on and you are set. Make sure you get the right wire for the Ground, because there's another one there which I accidentally connected to first and I blew the 2.5A F5 fuse which was stupid. I've attached a better version of the picture because the one on pin2dmd.com is very small.
Pin2DMD configuration:
- You want to change it from Stern/Bally/etc to "Gottlieb V2"
- Don't worry about Enhanced, it doesn't do anything for Gottlieb
Other:
- @malenko's alt-translite artwork is in the files, so if you want it, you don't need to hassle him for it (like I did =/), if you've got someone who can print it (on "white backlit film").
