Good day fellow pinheads.
After being made enthousiast about the SmartDMD project I decided to create such a nifty system as well for my POTC. Thanks to the great work of Olivier, Pinballmike and Rens I was able to create my own SmartDMD setup for little money. The only problem I have is that the output doesn't scale all across the display.
My setup (and the alternatives I tried):
- Raspberry PI 1 B+ v1.2 (also a RPI 1A 256MB)
- 1366*768 pixel screen from China with a LCD controller from China. It has a shitty viewing angle and the colors are horrible so this will be replaced as soon as I got the problem figured out
- Both are connected via HDMI.
I used the color rom which Rens made available (great work by the way) and created my own "DMD extender board". After bumping my head several times I finally got it working and colorisation is working like a charm. Only I cannot widen the screen and am limited to 75% of the full potential of the screen. With the left and right parameter I can make it smaller but not wider. And yes, I have tried the negative values as well.
I also tried connecting 2 different computer monitors, they have the same problem.
Does anyone know what I can check next?
