    Thank you. But what about Europe? I see only US or am I misunderstanding something?

    What is the must smooth/nice looking power supply setup? (WPC)
    It would be nice if it could be connected without another power cable going to the machine?

    OP
    Quoted from ecurtz:

    You can't hook it into the 5v supply on a WPC machine. The panels take too much current and you'll get resets or a blown 5v fuse. You'll either need to provide an additional supply of some kind or step down one of the other voltages.

    Yes I could understand that I could not use the original 5v.
    I am thinking about how to hook it up so it looks smooth? Can an extra power adapter be hooked up with the existing power switch? Maybe be placed in the back box? Or is the step down the way to go? Could the original DMD board be used?
    Maybe my question is a little to early in the process? Or has someone done it?

    This project is so awesome. In my opinion this is the only real DMD upgrade because it keeps the spirit and charm of the original DMD. I don't want lcd DMD emulation on a machine that original had DMD. Maybe that is just me...
    Keep up the good work! Can't wait to put this in my T2

    Quoted from Dmod:

    Please remove this private communication from the forum. It has been taken out of context and there is no agreement in place between ColorDMD and Pin2DMD regarding the use of our IP.

    Behavior like this and indirectly complaining about competition has a very negative effect on me. I don't think I will buy any ColorDMD after seeing this.

    Quoted from lucky1:

    Here is one of the reasons why we introduced the activation system:
    http://www.pinballsp.com
    He recently introduce his own pcb to sell with our software without even asking for permission.
    We will make sure that not one of his pcbs will work with PIN2DMD

    WTF?
    I don't understand the language, what is he trying to do?

    I think it is sad that all the awesomeness of this thread is getting killed by discussion of open source
