We’ve decided to make the MET SmartDMD open source. This means you can completely customize your DMD: modifying existing artwork, substituting custom frame images, altering colors, etc. You now have the ability to utilize Pinball Browser to its fullest extent.
Please contact me directly for purchasing questions.
SmartDMD kits will retail for $199 + shipping and will include the following items:
(1) Raspberry Pi B+
(2) Preprogrammed 8GB micro SD card
(3) Custom SmartDMD Interface board
(4) Professional ¼” laser cut black acrylic mounting hardware
(5) Licensed copy of Pinball Browser software
(6) Professional quality power wiring harness
(7) Colorized MET code
You must purchase your own LCD and driver board:
(1) 15.6” Full HD LG/Philips compatable color LCD display
(2) LCD driver board with HDMI source input
I’ve configured the color palettes to provide an incredible level of flexibility. Basically, I’ve made a palette for virtually every key animation used. This means you can customize to your hearts content. Currently, the MET SDMD supports up to 512 customizable color options via the SmartDMD configurator. We are actively working on increasing the total palette count to 255 (or 4080 total customizable color choices).
We are also pleased to announce that all SmartDMDs can now be configured to offer 2x or 16x upscaling.
We understand that art is subjective, so we are giving you the ability to choose which option best suits your personal taste. This will be a configurable feature within Pinball Browser, enabling you to easily switch between the following Color Modes: Standard Dots, 2x Upscaling and 16x Upscaling. In addition, we are working on making this a pallet specific feature.
Here are examples of each Color Mode option:
