Run-DMD - The most amazing clock ever released!

Quoted from tslayer71:
So do you need the raw copy, the image, or both to flash the SD card? The instructions make it sound like you just need the raw copy....

You only need the image to flash the SD card (using the HDD Raw Copy tool).

Quoted from Limpan:
When all orders on waiting line are sent out the aim is to send new orders out the day after they are placed, so the waiting should not be as long as this time.

No worries, this is a niche product and as such delays are part of getting it. Besides, the frame kits won't be in for a month at least so after testing this will be sitting in a closet for a bit.

Phew, I've been sending out as much as I can manage today, and all orders placed on the 25:th of march and before that has now been sent out. E-mail with tracking numbers should have arrived in your inboxes by now.

I'll buy some more empty boxes and continue to pack and ship more orders tomorrow, and hopefully we'll be back on track with the waiting line in the beginning of next week.

Eddie, you flash the SD card with an image that is downloaded from the URL link. As Dung said, the animations are already programmed into the image. There are already a lot of animations from the DMD's on the preloaded image. Maybe you can alter the image with a piece of software and create your own image for the SD card, I never tried it.

5 packages left my house today, and now I'm out of Run-DMD:s over the weekend. I'm getting the next batch from Torbjörn on monday morning, and that will fill the current waiting line and plus a few extras if anyone is interested. E-mails with tracking numbers will be sent out to the rest of you guys on monday and tuesday as soon as the orders are leaving my house!

The animations are extracted from the rom files available for download at Stern & ipdb.org.

Oh, I also forgot to mention that Torbjörn released a new firmware (v2.22) that fixes a ghosting issue that appeared when using the Run-DMD together with the newest Stern LED DMD:s (520-5052-15) on medium or high brightness.

The new firmware is available for download at: http://run-dmd.com/product/mcu-firmware

All Run-DMD:s that were sent out today and yesterday was sent with the above firmware.

Nice I have access to a drill press so drilling the holes wont be a problem. I wouldn't feel comfortable cutting a piece with the tools I have available lol. I was actually thinking of making a wood backing and leaving the face open, but if I can get 2 pieces of plexi cut to size I would go this route instead.

Might I ask? What's the size they cut it to?

The size I had my plexi cut was

25 Wide X 7 1/4 High. Mine worked out perfectly. The piece was around $ 50.00 bucks.

To be exact the piece of plexi I purchased was 24 x 48 #11288 from Lowes.

Again, you can get three pieces out of this one piece of plexi. I also used a unibit to drill the holes. The bit worked great. I bought the bit from Harbor Freight which cost $15.00. Lowes wanted $60.00 for the same bit. I am sure the Lowes Dewalt bit may be better but the Harbor Freight bit worked perfectly in my drill press and saved me some cash. The bit drills a perfect hole into plexi. Highly recommend it.

Look at the instructions to check my memroy, but I think you unplug the power, wait 15 seconds to make sure it's done, and then hold in button 4/D when you turn it back on. That will force it to cycle through different styles of outputs.

I couldn't get anything but a single vertical line on my Stern display until I did that, now it's working perfectly.

One of the cables I got for power must be broken inside. Got one of the displays up by swapping it. Thanks tho!

When I selected the target it said it needed to be formatted. I did so, copied the image over (it wanted a file name it seems), and it looks like I've corrupted my SD card.

Any other imaging tools that might work?

#293 9 years ago

ABB

Aurich

Hmm, I didn't format, are you sure you did it right? You just fire up the tool, select the image, select the destination, and hit start. No other steps.

Neither OS X or Windows would recognize the card, so the needs to be formatted message is normal. I just ignored it.
