vamprecords Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Hi all, I'm about to add a blower to my pincab. it's a attwood turbo 4000 SII. what is the best way to implement this with the Ledwiz, do i need a 12 volt relay for this to work or can i just hook it up to the ledwiz.. Hope some can help me out here. Cheers! Martijn
Content Provider arngrim Posted February 2, 2014 Content Provider Posted February 2, 2014 The vendor recommends a 5 amp fuse, which i installed so you need a relay or a zeb booster board. I have a booster board, i personally don't like relays because the noise they produce when onoff, also we use fading up and down or 50% intensity, i heard relays works better when they receive full power signal
randr Posted February 2, 2014 Posted February 2, 2014 Speaking of fading...I love the relays for the sounds. Strobes sound like real strobes...I use them on gear motor, strobes, fan, beacons and knocker. I have h-bridge on shaker. Anyways could we get a option in ledwiz tool to globally re move fade per output? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Content Provider arngrim Posted February 3, 2014 Content Provider Posted February 3, 2014 I have only one relay and it is for starting all my electronics when i start my pc, i don't see what is natural to hear clics when toys are on/off So you have 5 relays for your toys? I have one booster board for my high powered toys, that's easier to mount, cheaper, and fadings are great I even wonder if without fading, but just a low intensity like i16, how does the delay react?
randr Posted February 3, 2014 Posted February 3, 2014 Tell me how to change it and I will. Whirl wind is awful hard on my gear relay Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Content Provider arngrim Posted February 3, 2014 Content Provider Posted February 3, 2014 now it is S38 I24 fd2000 for the fan, try it like this first, then test S38 I16 fd2000 to see if it still work. This was for an attwood 4000, perhaps for an attwood you will need to increase the intensity to have a good effect, to I36 or no intensity so it is put at i48 by default
Jaggy Posted February 11, 2014 Posted February 11, 2014 Question guys: for what effect on an table or for which table would you install such a blower? Just curious, since I have one spare lying around from my boat.
Content Provider gtxjoe Posted February 11, 2014 Content Provider Posted February 11, 2014 I just parsed the directoutputconfig.ini file and here are the rom names that support the fan afm apollo13 bguns br gw hook i500 mm nf rctycn sttng swtril43 twst whirl ww
randr Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 What rom is gw? Edit! never mind..lol high speedII
Les73gtx Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Arngrim, is there a way to pulse a output once it is triggered? I am hooking up a bell type doorbell to the knocker to get a little more of the "you won" effect and instead of one quick ring I was thinking of 3 quick pulses. The other option would be to put the knocker on a m600 timer ... what do you think? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk

I also added the fan and beacons to the knocker trigger for each table with a m1200 timer it works really well for the "You WON" effect Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Content Provider arngrim Posted February 12, 2014 Content Provider Posted February 12, 2014 Fan and beacons to knocker toy????
Les73gtx Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Yeah man ... so when you get a match or high score or any other event that triggers the knocker, you really "feel" like you won something and anyone watching will know also. A lot of times I don't realize that I have won a free game because I don't look up much at the second and third screens. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Content Provider arngrim Posted February 12, 2014 Content Provider Posted February 12, 2014 Of course if your knocker knocks so much, you can't distinguish a free game.. And m1200 for a knocker?? The only interest for a knocker is the knock, so a pulse of the toy, having it triggered more than 1 second will not bring anything more than consuming watts, i would recommend a fixed duration
Les73gtx Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Ok so say for example the knocker is set for S7 ... what I am doing is also setting the the fan and beacon for the same S7 with a m1200 time, so the knocker is not doing anymore than the rom is calling for. Now I have decided that a simple knock is not enough so on the same relay I have attached a bell also. My wife and I love the effect but it is a little quick. So I was thinking ..is there a way to make the knocker/bell fire multiple times for each call of the S7 from the rom? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Content Provider arngrim Posted February 12, 2014 Content Provider Posted February 12, 2014 S7 m1200, with fan of whirlwind it will be up for a LONG time. S7 blink 1000, will be on, off after 500 ms, on after 1000 ms, off after 1500 ms... until s7 is officially off
Les73gtx Posted February 12, 2014 Posted February 12, 2014 Alright I think I can make that work ... here is a link for a picture of the doorbell I purchased for a cheap $7 and aslo is a link to a video of them (fan beacon bell knocker) working. When my wife puts in the quarters it gives 2 credits for LotR. Give it a watch https://www.dropbox.com/sc/k77ng4un6ixqnwx/gbjTzjHmUh Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Content Provider gtxjoe Posted February 13, 2014 Content Provider Posted February 13, 2014 If you want bell or knocker to fire 3 times in 1 second (1000 milliseconds), try S7 BLINK 1000 3 or S7 1000 3 Here is my old post when I was trying to get blinking working with RGB leds http://vpuniverse.com/forums/topic/1022-dof-config-setting-blink-x-times-does-not-seem-to-be-working/
Les73gtx Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 I changed 3 tables and now I am trying to get the match game or high score so the knocker fires ... lol I am not the pinball wizard tonight ... I will report when something happens Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Les73gtx Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Ok arngrims suggestion seems to make the bell ring like I want it to but the knocker does not like the blink command as now I can barely hear it ... I mean it hits softer I think. Going to try your suggestion of the S7 1000 3 gtxjoe ... thank you Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
MTPPC Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Taxi should run that doorbell for a good blast when you get multi-ball and jackpot. That is almost like the one that comes in a real taxi.
Content Provider gtxjoe Posted February 13, 2014 Content Provider Posted February 13, 2014 to test your changes easily, temporarily replace S7 with a swtich # that is activated when a target, bumper or sling gets hit. For example if you have a droptarget called DT1 look for Sub DT1_Hit() and see what switch it uses. If it uses switch 20, then change S7 to W20 temporarily Play the table, hit ESC, select debug, then you can right click on that target and select hit.
Les73gtx Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Oh sweet man thanks ... fun to play and get a event though ... So 1000 was a little too long so 700 seems to be the magic number so 700 3 makes the trigger event hit for .7 of a second 3 times .... that is exactly what I was looking for ... Awesome thank you I do not have Taxi .. looks to be the 131st table on my cabinet. ;-) Also the changes to Twister are so awesome the wife and I both had to put a sweatshirt on because it blows so much.. I dis take the timer to 3000 and got rid of the fade down and intensity to 34, that setting actually will stop the fan with the tornado on the playfield better and not run all the time. Thanks guys for the help. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
Les73gtx Posted February 13, 2014 Posted February 13, 2014 Funny thing on the bell as I was at Lowe's and they are on clearance says it needs a low voltage transformer (not included) I decided for $7 if I burn it up oh well .... tested it with my 12v battery for a good 30 min on and off and also bent the arm so it hit lower on the bell and a little farther away ... anyhow it really reminds me of the classic arcades where everytime you turn around there is a buzzer or bell going off ... lol or maybe that is the casinos Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk
