Administrators Dazz Posted March 15, 2013 Administrators Share Posted March 15, 2013 So, my cab has been working great. I packed it up and took it to the show and got it setup. All of a sudden when I hit anything that triggers a contactor it causes my non-controlled lights to trigger. These are just button lights that are plugged into my 5v and terminal ground strip. Any ideas what would cause that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider bent98 Posted March 15, 2013 Content Provider Share Posted March 15, 2013 Sounds like hey are ground out or a loose connection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zebulon Posted March 15, 2013 Share Posted March 15, 2013 Yup, sounds like the lights lost their ground and are sinking through the contactors. Either that or they have shorted the ground line somewhere closer to the contactors and are using that instead of the ground terminal. Try hooking the ground for the lights directly to a ground lead from the psu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Dazz Posted March 15, 2013 Author Administrators Share Posted March 15, 2013 Figured it out. As you guys said it was a ground issue. One of my ground wires wasn't making contact on my terminal strip. Tracked it down with a meter and once fixed all is well. I would have never seen the problem wire. Thanks for pointing me in the correct direction. Got to play some Wizard of Oz... I WANT one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shimoda Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 I guess I hadn't seen about WIzard of Oz yet. I was just thinking about a theme for a game to make and thought about this. Darn...too late. Table looks great. Expensive, but great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loafmeister Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 Dazz: sorry for off topic post but you started it . Is the WOZ shown at the show using more complete software? All previous sightings have had it missing many features. I understand the pinball arcade guys are supposed to be there and they are supposed to show something cool for the iPad. Let us know what that is or if there is some news on pc version Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
