DMD display, only 32 top right LEDS work

[dtbaker]

Hey guys,

Got two DMD's however the second one is a bit funky.

All the lights turn on and stay on, except some in the top right corner.
I can see text scrolling past in the top right corner, and all of those are controllable, but everything else just stays on.

Does anybody know what is causing this or if there is a way we can fix it?

Here's a picture of what I mean:


Cheers,

Check the four silver screws have insulated washers on the front and back of the board. You will have to remove the black panel carefully, as the plastic is quite brittle. Apart from that, I can only think that the code is set to 2 panels wide and the cables are connected properly.

(edit) does it do it if you swap them over [first panel second and second panel first] ?

Nah pretty sure it's busted.

1st panel works fine on it's own, when I swap them around this happens or it shows gibberish.

Happens when single dmd or both dmd's are connected together. Happens when single dmd is powered by arduino or external power.

Bought another one yesterday hopefully get it this week.
