Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted June 2, 2015 Author Content Provider Share Posted June 2, 2015 Budget and DMD aren't even in the same sentence, unfortunately ! Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider DeeGor Posted June 2, 2015 Content Provider Share Posted June 2, 2015 Funny how the pinball industry is moving towards LCDs and the virtual world is moving towards DMDs. Nice cab btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulohotline Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I am not sure about the move to LCD video in Pinball. I personally always skip the movie scenes when playing video games. I am sure I would be super pissed if a video lasted more then 10 seconds in pinball as I want to get back to the action. 95% of your time should be spent watching the ball , I believe DMDs are perfect for pinball and really need no improvement. Just my 2 cents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider DeeGor Posted June 2, 2015 Content Provider Share Posted June 2, 2015 I like this LCD mod. I wonder how difficult it would be to mirror the pinmame display, so you could have it on the apron as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider CarnyPriest Posted June 3, 2015 Content Provider Share Posted June 3, 2015 I like this LCD mod. I wonder how difficult it would be to mirror the pinmame display, so you could have it on the apron as well. Getting a bit OT, but here's my solution that works with VPM and B2S. My script mirrors the third screen to both sides of the apron. Crappy videos in the thread. http://www.gameex.info/forums/topic/15882-visual-pinball-mini-dmd-screen-3-b2s-for-apron/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted July 30, 2015 Author Content Provider Share Posted July 30, 2015 I got 7 of my 10 contactors, found em for 10 bucks a piece on ebay. I'm a cheapskate... they're all good though! Took a quick video after setting up one side and half of the other. Going to relocate them to closer to what randr does with his builds but for now this will do. This week is all about wiring, my soldering iron died on me so I've had to do some soldering at work but while I was moving things around I found my other soldering iron and it seems to be working. So tomorrow hopefully by the weekend 'll have the wiring in place for everything, even if not everything is there just yet. Some time I need to make my RGB bar, I got all the stuff for it just need to cut it out and paint it. I also need to widen the hole at the bottom of my backbox to fit my DMD lcd down in it, then it should be playable. I also got my coin door and coin buttons late last week, that really brought the whole thing together.... That's only a 19v power supply, too, once I put a 24v PSU in there it should sound and feel a lot better! Doesn't feel fake to me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashyrk Posted July 30, 2015 Share Posted July 30, 2015 I like my contactors aswell Even if a real machine doesn't use contactors it feels/sounds a lot better than not having any feedback at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted October 5, 2015 Author Content Provider Share Posted October 5, 2015 Leaf switch? Whatever I had lying around... ebay kind.

Blashyrk Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 When I saw your build pictures over at pinside I suddenly wanted illuminated buttons as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Content Provider freneticamnesic Posted October 6, 2015 Author Content Provider Share Posted October 6, 2015 Oh yes it's very addictive, lighting everything... I lit the buttons using the 5150 RGB strip, so each button has 3 RGBs behind it. Essentially wrapped around the button, actually.. I wanted it in such a way that the light didn't have a chance to interfere with the leaf switch. So 15 meters of that RGB strip, you could do like 100 buttons. I also use the RGB strip to go around the inside of the speakers and also going under the cabinet. I have the flippers hooked up to the same light and the magnasaves hooked up to the same light. Then I'll have a fire button (like the real star trek cab) that will be it's own plug on the LEDWiz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blashyrk Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yes it very addictive, I would like a fire button on the Lockdown bar but the idea of drilling a hole in mine scares me, I don't want to damage the powdercoating, besides I can't find the button Stern uses anymore. Could you take a couple of pictures of how you mounted the ledstrips around the buttons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
