I was waiting on my neighbor to give me the specs for some acrylic pcs that he wanted laser cut and fit it into my "dead space", but he's on vacation

I think I'll just go ahead and order the remaining acrylic for this final batch tonight along with the smaller, stern sized kits. I should have 5 kits available (I think I've got 3 people on the list including you

a few people have noticed that when setting the clock to purple (dip switch settings: Up-Down-Up-Up-Down-Up) that not all of the pixels are displaying correctly. I have confirmed this and have passed along the information to Linus (limpan here on pinside)

if Torbjorn (the run-dmd board designer & programmer) is able to correct this with a future firmware release, it would require the run-dmd boards to be re-programmed using the microchip pic kit 3 hardware

note: this only appears to be an issue when selecting purple. all other colors (red, green, blue, yellow, aqua and white) do not appear to be affected.

you're running it in red like everyone else. don't go trying to fool me!

just an FYI
the current stock level in the initial post represents [complete] component sets that I currently have on hand to build the last clocks in this batch.

the 2nd half of my acrylic order is still being cut and I probably won't receive it for another 2+ weeks. once that is received, the remaining clocks will be assembled and offered (I will update the initial post again with "on hand stock". after those are gone, that's it (from me anyway

a few people have reached out to me indicating that they have damaged the front or rear panel and would like a replacement. if you are one of those unfortunate few, please reply in a pm so work out the details with me on purchasing a replacement panel

I'm only going to order a few extra sets, so this will be a limited time offer

2017.aug.26 update
after a recent health issue (and a prolonged hospital stay), I should be back in business to ship out the last of the full sized clocks and the stern sized kits by end of of this week (inventory levels will be posted

also, I believe that there were 3 people interested in the stern sized kits (please pm me again

and finally, there one person that had a damaged acrylic panel. please pm the details of what you need so that we can work out the details

I've updated the IP with current stock (which is a lie because I haven't had the strength to assemble the clocks yet), but have all of the components on-hand to do so. the plan is that these clocks will be assembled and available by the end of this week.

2017.sep.05 update
initial post updated with correct current stock info for both the full size and stern sized kits

did you purchase a clock from me? I just checked all of my records and I don't recall having sold one to you

if you can pm me the dimensions (in mm's) center to center for the studs on the rear of the LED panels, both height and width, I'll see if I still have the old plans and would be more than willing to send you the file to have them printed yourself through ponoko.com

I obviously don't have anything like any more (those panels haven't been available for quite some time now)

unfortunately, the frames, display panels and run-dmd pc boards have all changed over the years.

the panels are now a HUB75 variety (vs. the HUB08's of the first couple of runs), and each panel is now comprised of two 32x32 pixel panels where every pixel is uniform to one another

the mounting positions from the LED panels to rear acrylic are different (hence my request for your dimensions) and the run-dmd [white] board only supports the HUB75 and LED (stern and pin-x) type displays

on the plus side, with my last few runs there are now 7 color options to select from (red, green, blue, aqua, yellow, purple and white) vs. the original red, green or amber choices (or just red), depending on who you sourced your panels from

this week only (sep 11th-15th)
full size clocks $425 plus shipping
stern sized kits $275 plus shipping ($375 w/ a brand new red LED stern display plus shipping)

I need to pay some medical expenses (and other bills) from being out of commission for 3 weeks so I'm offering a $25 discount on both the full size clocks and stern sized kits thru friday

pm me your mailing info as stated in the initial post so that I can calculate the shipping costs and give you a total amount due

TO ORDER:
send me a pm with your mailing information and which clock you are interested in so that I can calculate the shipping costs and give you a total amount due

after the stock is depleted, that is all. I am moving onto other projects and these clocks will not be offered any more

I will be vending the remaining stock of clocks at the chicago expo next week. for those of you that have been holding out, this is a great time to pick one up and avoid the shipping costs. the clocks will be sold assembled & packaged in bubble wrap

I will be giving away 2 assembled pico run-dmd clocks @ expo (courtesy of limpan and torbjorn!
there is no purchase necessary to enter, however you must be present to win
the winner for one pico clock will be randomly drawn from the tickets each day on thursday and friday night prior to the vendor hall closing

just to clarify, the last 3 runs have shipped with the same run-dmd boards. only the mounting positions on the LED panels have varied

(the LED panels were produced and sourced from the same manufacturer, but whomever they contracted with for the frames, changed the mounting locations which caused me to modify the rear panels to accommodate for both types of panels

hope to see and meet many of you next week @ expo (I should be a the twin peaks meet 'n greet as well as helping trent run his tourney, james loflin's booth (where clocks will be assembled on the spot and sold) and occasionally in clay harrell's repair room [just to give him grief

I pm'ed you, however just to clarify for everyone else

I have been merely a "middleman" who has been assembling and selling a finished clock product and have nothing to do with the distribution of firmware and SD card images and/or updates

in the past, I have been able to offer firmware updates for those with the original and EDGE run-dmd boards having a PIC chip. however, all of the run-dmd WHITE boards have a surface mounted firmware chip that requires the use of the microchip PICKIT 3 (or compatible) programming device to update the firmware

all clocks that I have sold have been shipped with the latest firmware (currently v3.52) available at the time of assembly

2017.oct.06 update
if anyone is planning on purchasing up a run-dmd clock from me @ expo next week but would like it boxed up for shipping, now is the time to let me know

due to the size of the boxes and amount of packaging peanuts (per clock) involved, the clocks assembled and sold at the show will only be wrapped in bubblewrap unless prior arrangements are made with me via this thread or by private message. I will try my best to accommodate everyone (unless I receive too many requests

the deadline for making these arrangements with me is this sunday, october 8th 2017

2017.oct.09 update
everything is all boxed up and ready to make the journey to expo

clocks will be sold in the vendor room (james loflin's booth) as well as in rob anthony's old repair room (where clay is taking up residence this year). I'll be bouncing between both areas (and using the repair room to assemble clocks on an "as needed" basis

remember that courtesy of limpan and torbjorn, 2 pico run-dmd micro clocks will be raffled off on both thursday and friday evening.
NO PURCHASE NECESSARY, but you must be present to win (the drawings will most likely be held at 11pm/11:30pm CST on both nights.
as an added incentive, I will be drawing an additional 3 tickets per day for a cash discount on purchasing a full sized clock or stern sized kit. (no worries if you purchased it earlier that day or the previous day [in the case of friday], I will refund back the discount amount won!
