limpan:
I noticed a few things on the new board and have a few questions. it appears that Torbjorn has changed the package for the picchip from a dip to a surface mount, meaning that you will need to update it via the ICSP port
however, it looks like the ICSP port doesn't even contain the header to attach the pins
(is the image of an uncompleted prototype board?

I also do not understand why pinball connector is positioned 90° off of the board vs. how the EXP ONE connector is attached. again, maybe this isn't the final design.

I like that both of the power terminals has been moved to where they no longer will cause any cables to stick outside of the side of the clock frames (I can add an additional cut-out to the rear panel to route the power cable out the back side

Will there be restocks of Run-DMD classic and EXP ONE?

Anyone try installing B130? All I get is a full on display with a faint clock in the background. I tried brightness settings but it doesn't change anything. Reverted back to B129 for now.

I had the same issue at first with B130.
To get it to work correctly I had to follow these instructions:

4. If it does not work after the SD-card upgrade, hold down button 3 on the Run-DMD while you plug it in to the wall socket. Release the button when the LED stays lit.

5. The Run-DMD will now cycle through a test image with different settings for the different HUB08 DMD:s. When you see the correct test image, press button 4 to save the settings.

For me there were two settings that looked good on my clock. For whatever reason I could only get the 2 version in the cycle that looked good to 'set' for me when I pressed button 4.

Ok. I have a feeling a different flag is set in the boot up sequence where he was probably testing with a different display. I'd imagine the next update you might have to do this again to get it back to the original display setting. Thanks. I'll try again.

EDIT: Thanks jletourn, that did the trick.

Got my panels today so I'm up and running!! I'm thinking I'm going to build an oak frame with a rabbeted opening to set a the panels in with a piece of smoked glass in front of them.

Does anyone else have the temp sensor? Mine is reading about 10 degrees F too high which is quite a bit to be off so I was wondering if there is a way to calibrate it?

I figured out the temp reading... I had plugged the sensor board into the run-dmd the right way but didn't notice that the sensor boards connector is smaller than the expansion port so i was plugged in offset by a pin.

Centered it up and temp is spot on now, thank goodness no damage was done.

Got my chip in the mail and installed it today. Super easy, updating the SD card took more time. 3.48 is a big improvement over 3.3. Thank you for making this upgrade available and for the bargain basement price. Amazing.

you reside in stockholm and are drinking budweiser? linus, your man card is hereby revoked!

Exactly. It doesn't matter how cold it is. The proper way to drink a bud is to open the bottle and pour it down the drain then get a good beer and drink it.

maybe he'll "upgrade" to a bud lime (I think I just threw up in my mouth a little bit just typing that)

Discovering IPA's.....good by Bud!!!

Is there a place for features we want to see?

I would like to enter the date, and have the clock automatically adjust for Daylight Savings Time.

Otherwise, a system to Autoset the time (Atomic Clock)

I picked up my order from the post office today! Thanks for the quick shipping!

Calling it a beer is an insult to beer...

It's really just beer flavored water...

Now you're insulting water

Just updated the SD card to the new image. I can see the clock and images but the display is very bright like a reverse image. I burned the image multiple times using two computers and getting the same result. I'm using the original SD card. Also when I turn off the clock (with remote) it comes back on.

I read the post above about holding button three till it selects the right display type but that is not working either.

I am using the buttons on the expansion board.

Which buttons are 3 and 4. I've tried a number of combinations but not working. I think I may be using the wrong buttons.

Almost finished with attempt 1 at my runDMD clock frame. My thought was to add some traditional style to it by building the frame from oak and usinf joinery similar to Bally cabinets.

Not sure yet if I will be able to squeeze in the runDMD board with a back on it yet, may need to remake about a quarter to half inch deeper.

I have seen a couple with wood frames and I like them better. Nice job.

I guess I don't understand the attraction of the temperature? Do you guys have pinball machines outside? If I was going to have an external probe it would be a motion sensor to turn the clock on while people are in the room and let it shut off after say 15 minutes of no motion.

damn its hot in your shop

I love the motion sensor idea. I think the temperature was more for the game room fridge than for the outside temp.

Thanks! On the temp I was planning to use the temp for the outside temp as a kind of a Aren't you glad your indoors playing pinball deal. Unfortunately the probe consistantly reads aout 5 degrees too warm so I probabl won't use it, maybe its intended only for cooler temps like the mentioned fridge.

Lol, yeah pretty warm but actually felt good after the last week. We had several days hiting 110.

Beer fridge temp and outside temp. Okay makes sense now! Thanks.

I think this looks awesome, great job! I would like to do something similar with mine when I get to this project someday.

Neat! But I guess running Pin DMD animations with that orientation probably won't work. Still will have to give it a try.

Thats fine. Once I get mine updated, it might be a good office mode since many dmd animations would get me sent to HR... Might have to get myself a second RunDMD now.

Good use for any panel that has "ghosting" problems...

I'm stuck with four panels that have the timing issue. If they are not going to try to fix this in software, I at least wish they would update the suggested parts area on the website, so I don't buy panels that apparently aren't supported again.

Are there some better panels available reasonably? I like the size and price of the suggested panels but they do seem a bit flaky so I wouldn't mind playing more for a more reliable version. There is almost always one cell that has a column with one color out, but its not all that consistent.

what are the biggest panel which we could us? Link?

I picked my clock up today. I love it! Thanks Dan. It was nice to meet you and play some of the games in your great collection.

any cad files or drawings for a Frame/mounting for this big Displays?

Dang nice looking WWE

They are saw cut, hand sanded edges, and drilled with a template I created. I priced out laser cut ones but they were $100 per panel. I'm investigating getting them cut via cnc machine.

ok!

do you have some pictures or drawings of the assembly?

I'll share some pictures of the template when I get back to town this weekend.

this thing is GREAT!!!!!

I can't believe I forgot all about these. Is someone selling the Jumbo one on the previous page?

Is Torbjörn still adding images to the clock? Was hoping he could add some images from the wrestling pins Royal Rumble and or Wrestlemania

And mbob check this out for the big ones
https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/run-dmd-jumbo-clocks

Clock does not come with images but they are easy to get and install.

Oh I know I have one. But Torbjorn puts the images on the master file for us to download.
