Need Some Help - PinDMD2

[Tom Speirs]

Hi,

Could I please ask for some help from PinDMD 2 users?

Please try the attached and let me know if it works.

It should render a small scrolling message to a window and your PinDMD.

Ensure you run on a machine with PinballX installed as that will have the file dependencies.

Cheers.

Tom.

tom test tom the quick brown fox jumped over something also has "16/15" in upper left corner message scrolls in center right to left and not using full width on dmd

[Tom Speirs]

Thanks, that means it works

[Tom Speirs]

Does the text fade in and out?

[randr]

Didn't notice fading, flickering maybe...no longer at location of a cab but can check tonight. But I'm sure someone else will report by then!

[imagamejunky]

What do you have planned Tom? Maybe table descriptions on the dmd while scrolling through tables? Awesome

[randr]

Had to run back to office and the fading effect is there yes.

Do you plan on making something work for PinDMD1?

I haven't completely made up my mind on it but I may be releasing some source code (for the DMD API), so someone else could add support.

[randr]

[Tom Speirs]

Does it all look perfect?

[joeyh]

I tested it out too

Looks awesome - can't resize or move - but i guess you're still working on that.

[randr]

I think your pinball x logo could use some improvement kinda looks pixeled/faded. But other than that looks fine
