installed the rgb-button lights (need a second transparent button)...

Really nice, but i am wondering, is there a functional use for 2 flipper buttons ? Are there many games that support that or is it possible to adapt a table for use with 2 buttons ?

And also, the shaker, is that a all-ready product or is it made out of different components (where do i buy those ?)

Thanks, Erwin

For the buttons i can answer that some tables like black knight or the shadow just secondary buttons for like magna save or some other table function

2 flipper buttons and 2 extra buttons for magna-save/extra function, e.g. black knight, black knight 2000, grand lizzard, haunted house, jhonny menmonic, judge dredd, jungle lord, medusa, pharaoh, shadow, solarfire, starship troopers, strange science, world cup soccer...

shaker is made out of different components. It's a special design from a vibration motor company for testing purposes. If it works well, wolfsoft will order a bunch for the forums.

first test with the replay knocker:

[njay]

wow ... so bassicly it's just falls to the bottom tick then goes back up?

how do you power them? and if so can you order them somewhere in europe? very cool !

[chriz99]

replay knocker simply knocks to the wood. alternatively, we can try a metal bracket.

it's underpowered with 12v at the moment... but it generates a loud and clear knock

I will use a separate relay for the knocker, because the current is to high for the ledwiz.

[chriz99]

made a resistor block for the cree leds.

for better cooling

Holy crap! Why do you need them resistors?

I think the replay knocker alway's knocks up to the wood, in my cabinet it sits on the left top of the backbox. Will try to make a picture of it.

Normally they run on 50 Volts AC, so that could be a problem. Will try the one i have on a lower voltage, let you know the results

If you drive the cree's with 12v you need that big resistors. If you go with 5v, the resistors are only half the size.

thanks!

there are 2 types of coils available... 24v and 50v... I think replay knocker are 24v (AE-23-800 coil)?

Made some picture's of the Demolition Man from Williams

Knocker in the rest position

Knocker in the 'knock' position

I stand corrected, it knocks on metal

@ Njay: from the pinball database parts list you can lookup the coil + kicker rod, it's a steel bar with plastic top.

I have a complete playfield here with some large/small coils, if youre willing to 'knutsel' i can look for you what can be used ?

[chriz99]

thx for the pics. what voltage did you use?

------------

flasher are working... what a soldering action

None yet, started the project last saturday

urhm... hope the resistors don't get hot, they will melt your tyrips !

[chriz99]

first test with the built in flashers... I have green walls

you don't have to look in the flasher, you'll see the flashercolor in the whole loft.

What values are the resistors. The LEDs I bought are on their way from China, so I want to get ready. I will probably use +5v

Nice!

Nice!

btw... if the led calculator recommends a 1W resistor, go with a 2-5w resistor (they produce less heat)

Chris, do you have a wiring diagram for the basic setup, monitors/computer/buttons, before any of the later 'modding' like flashers etc.?

Thanks!

[gbeef]

Awesoommmmmeee!!!!!!!

[luvthatapex]

I would be interesting in the basic wiring diagram too!

I am gearing up for my first cab build, woohoo!

what do you mean with basic wiring diagram?

you will find the basic specs like pc specs, monitor types and a buttonlist on the first page of this thread.

[luvthatapex]

Chris,

53 pages and counting is alot to digest and you have been most descriptive. I will read all pages again and post specific questions Thank you

Thanks for the offer my friend, i have looked up the replay knockers on the internet and a complete assembly is not that expensive.

I am just wondering how to drive it? maybe a extra psu that drives at 24v?

There is a lot to add on my cab but i need to make choices since my mini has oly limited space.

@Chris, nice work with the leds i could see that i would be over my top to install them... my RGB leds from GGG shiped yesterday will let you know the results.. thanks again for all your help

[chriz99]

some updates today...

installed an illuminated power switch at the bottom, like the real deal. imo it's more arcade

attached the shaker at the back. it's the same effect, no matter where it is mounted. 12v was too much action, I think I will drive it at 5v... you will get a smooth noticable vibration. If you want more power, add more voltage.

new place for ledwiz, relays and ipac

pc-board lays on foam (bottom + sideways), it's better for shaking

Nice work, getting a more detailed idea on how my cab should become

For what purpose are the yellow/blue/white buttons if i may ask ? (do i need to order more buttons )
