    Hello, My Judge Dredd is blowing F116. Since all other mods are LED related, I would like to wire up an external supply to the ColorDMD. Any resources that will walk me through this process? Thank you

    Just went through this in cftbl.

    Was pretty straightforward. Still need to work on the on/off for the external power supply off the pin’s main power switch...

    In my case, maybe similar to yours, I already had a working colordmd setup. But was taxing the 12v and popping f116.
    Ordered the stern whitestar cable kit off colordmd page, hacked the connector off the power plug end and wired it like the article linked. Now it’s just a matter of making the on/off for the external power supply more streamlined.

    Thanks for the prompt reply! Will try to take a look after the kids go to bed.

    Here is what I did when I had my first STTNG and installed a ColorDMD.
