Hello all - just a quick note to mention a few updates have been made the the PIN2DMD firmware by @Lucky1 - thank you Jeorg.
When the Group Buy shipped in January firmware V3.06 was installed for you. I've just had a few quick tests on my ToTAN and FT with version 3.11, and some occassional imperfections seem to have disapeared - and the occasional white flashing between scenes seems to have gone also. I'd recommend updating your firmware if you have noticed these artifacts.
You can download the latest firmware here: https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/tree/master/firmware/latest
Make sure you get the right firmware for your display(s):
Standard and Skinny/DE: - https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/tree/master/firmware/latest/EVO128x32_EVO128x16
XL/Sega: https://github.com/lucky01/PIN2DMD/tree/master/firmware/latest/EVO192x64
You just need the pin2dmd.upd (or pin2dmd_XL.upd for the XL version).
Turn your machine off, remove the MicoSD card (top left as you look at the back of the board, this is done by pressing the tiny card in a bit, and it should click and bounce back out).

Using a PC, Mac or Smart Device with SD Card support - copy the downloaded .upd file to the main (root) directory of your microSD card.
If you have updatated your display before - make sure you delete the update.ok fille from your SD card.
Pop the card back in your display, turn it on and you should see "UPDATE" show briefly on your display and then reboot. As it starts again you should see the version number 3.11 display on the screen - job done.
Not a mandatory update - but I think most of you will find it an improvement - and another little distraction/job to do if you're in lockdown mode.
Hope you find this helpful.
