Installed Spectrum display in my S2000

[Foster]

I was only guessing about the PE being supported.
Unless the PE or PE+ has the same signals in the top box that the S+ has it wont work.

Yes it gets programmed by the machine just like the behind the glass unit.
In fact John42355 on ebay has the non Micro controller based behind the glass progressive LED driver board. eBay 250104960296
I have built 2 of them from the schematics in the Liberty Bell book on the S+. I think they where for the S originally but do work in the S+.
Before the Micro controller based version that we currently have or lemans69 is selling.
The S+ drives the progressive data to that connector the same way it drives the player display.

Player Display
DD0 serial data
DCLK data clocking
STB1 strobe signal
GND
VB

Progressive signals (Mini Photon or S+ spectrum)
DD0 serial data
DCLK data clocking
STB2 strobe signal
GND
VB

note DD0, DCLK, STB1 and STB2 are inverse logic 0v is 1, and VB or Vcc is 0.

I even hooked up a spare player display to the progressive signals in the top box and it works once progressive is enabled and configured.
Just looks funny seeing the progressive split.

The S+ Spectrum  I have available needs a small part on the power supply and either the drivers or the LED have a slight issue on the smaller display
When I get a chance I will test it and try to post pictures.

For the small stand alone progressive to show second level progressive move ribbon cable to the connector above or below it.

Hello all!

Great news!

I'm SO glad you guys made me curious...I've played with the dips on my Spectrum and found the secret to scrolling colors!

Ok - 2 sets of dips - 4 switches each.  On mine - all 8 switches were all off.  Here's what I found...

S1
1 - didn't do anything
2 - causes colors to scroll from red to green to yellow (see video) - off is 1 color - on is scroll - SECRET SETTING!!
3 - changes single color - off is green - on is red
4 - on - does a moving line test to see if all leds are working

S2
1 - on - makes all red leds come on to see if all leds are working
2 - on - makes all orange leds come on to see if all leds are working
3 - on - makes all green leds come on to see if all leds are working
4 - didn't do anything

So I hope that helps - I know it made me happy

Hey can you psot back with your spectrum board P/N and SDF version?

Hello!

The slot shows "SDF100 12 Apr 2002".  There is a chip on the controller board with a sticker that says "SDF104 R".  As far as a P/N - the display board itself has "PN 75137800 REV A".  I don't see a P/N on the controller board - there is another sticker on another chip that says "SPECTRUM HEFF 32808401 REV A".  Are these the numbers you're looking for?

Ok

Please can you check the sdf version in the Accounting Version menu?

I also have no option of changing colors on the spectrum's .      Spectrum piggy back board shows "SPECTRUM HEFF" but running version SDF 104.    Other chip version I can't get to work is SDB 100 (yes,SDB) does anyone have ideas on this?    I was thinking that it came from a similar display I have which the piggy back board is marked (SPECTRUM II) but I believe the board or display on the spectrum II is shot.

Does anyone have any PLCC chips SDF 104

[Foster]

you can use a At29C512 or a 29EE512 both PLCC

[Foster]

Thanks I didnt see your other post about the version reported to the machine.
I wonder if SDF 104 removed the scrolling color option.
I cant get it to do the scrolling colors.
Now if you turn on switch 1 and 3 you get Orange on the SDF104

Actually Railroad94, I wouldn't mind getting a couple of dpalmi's SDF100 chips and see if we could get the scrolling option then.

Looks like it might be the way to go Tacman, I have SDB 100 but so far nothing there. His sticker has 104 but the vfd displayed version is what counts and if it shows SDF 100 when he goes to version accounting PV13.

dpalmi.. what numbers does the other PLCC chip above it have, the one in the U12 ?
