shilmover Posted December 27, 2010 Posted December 27, 2010 A few questions: - Can Solenoids and lamps be used on the same input? For example: ,S12,S14/L15,S21. I get an error - Is it possible to get the LEDWiz to light up lights outside of the ROM? I would like the start/flipper buttons to be lit in the HyperPin menu too. - How do I get different colors? For example, if I want the center light to be purple? Edit: Reading manual now...

I get an error not yet, at the moment only S or W or L input. - Is it possible to get the LEDWiz to light up lights outside of the ROM? I would like the start/flipper buttons to be lit in the HyperPin menu too. yes thats possible, check out the hyperpin-files inside the tutorial - How do I get different colors? For example, if I want the center light to be purple? via rgb led you have to set it as follows Blue=0,0,ON Green=0,ON,0 Cyan=0,ON,ON Red=ON,0,0 Magenta=ON,0,ON Yellow=ON,ON,0 White=ON,ON,ON cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software
shilmover Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 not yet, at the moment only S or W or L input. Thanks yes thats possible, check out the hyperpin-files inside the tutorial Looking... Where in the files? FPLaunch.ahk? via rgb led you have to set it as follows Blue=0,0,ON Green=0,ON,0 Cyan=0,ON,ON Red=ON,0,0 Magenta=ON,0,ON Yellow=ON,ON,0 White=ON,ON,ON That I got, but we are limited to just these 7 colors?
chriz99 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 ThanksLooking... Where in the files? FPLaunch.ahk? That I got, but we are limited to just these 7 colors? search for hpledcontrol exe/ini in the tutorial. at the moment you can use pwm-colors only for flipperbuttons for example (ON Orange) Black=5,5,5 White=48,48,48 Red=48,0,0 Yellow=48,48,0 Orange=48,24,0 Lime=0,48,0 Green=0,24,0 Cyan=0,48,48 Blue=0,0,48 Purple=12,0,24 Violet=24,0,48 Magenta=48,0,48 Brown=24,12,0 pwm-flashercolor is a feature for the next version. cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software
shilmover Posted December 28, 2010 Posted December 28, 2010 So I figured out that i need to launch HPLedControl.exe nit HyperPin.exe. That want clear in the tutorial. now my flipper buttons flash white. Any way to change the color in hyperpin?
chriz99 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 yes, thats correct. I think there is only ON/OFF/BLINK available in hypercontrol.ini maybe a future feature to add rgb colors. cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software

chriz99 Posted December 28, 2010 Author Posted December 28, 2010 I paid 60 euros for my stroboscope at ebay. it's a 230v/1500w strobe which can be manually adjusted in speed (via pot). cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software

shilmover Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 I think I blew up my Power Supply... I was testing the LEDs (9 of them; 3 on the top, 3 on the left, 3 on the right). Looked great! My kid loved them I then switched from AFM to MM and none of the lights came up. Green LED on the Power Supply is off. Need to figure out what happened...
njay Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 I guess you connect the + to 230v wall socket, but how do you connect the ground to the ledwiz? does load not blow up the led wiz? i can buy a cool mini strobe but i need to figure out how to connect it My Mini Pin Build: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=5622 My Arcade Bartop Build: http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=14570
chriz99 Posted December 29, 2010 Author Posted December 29, 2010 it's an analog (no dmx) stroboscope with a pot for manually adjusting the flasher speed. you need a timer-relay to drive it with your ledwiz. a friend of mine (electrician) did the strobe setup here, because I play not with high volt current. cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software
njay Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 like this? http://www.nl.rs-online.com/web/search/searchBrowseAction.html?method=getProduct&R=4707907 can you friend when he has time maybe make up a schematic?

chriz99 Posted December 29, 2010 Author Posted December 29, 2010 I use these relays http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?p=97319#post97319 in short: it's the same config like the shaker-motor. the ledwiz switches a (blue) standard 12vdc relay which switches a 12vdc timer relay (grey). the timer relay switches the 230v stroboscope for a predefined time. for your own safety please let an electrician do this setup. my friend can not give a wiring diagram for high volt current. cheers chris [sIGPIC][/sIGPIC] * taito egret 29 candy cabs * indy & star wars pachinkos 17" bartop with ledwiz rgbleds * 10" bubble bobble & galaga bartop * arm champs 2 check out hi-res backglasses * best vpin performance * ledwiz config and software

shilmover Posted December 29, 2010 Posted December 29, 2010 ok. Did not blow up the Power Supply... one of the +12v leads on one of the LEDs was ever so slightly sticking out beyond the bottom of the wood rail the are sitting in. That caused it to short against the frame of the PF LCD. Fixed now...
shilmover Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Hey Chris, Having an issue that I am hoping you can help me with... I have the Left slingshot mapped to input 9 and it works perfectly. I have the Right slingshot mapped to input 10 and it does the following. In LEDBlinky (just as a test), when i turn input 10 on, it works perfectly... relay fires as does the solenoid. In AFM, MB, & MM; shortly after the game initializes, the right slingshot activates and stays on. Does not turn off until I exit the table and reset it. With CV; the Right slingshot never fires. Even in the test menu. Left slingshot works perfectly, right one does no. Thoughts?
gbeef Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Now to decide UVP or not to UVP!..... Seems like the LEDWIZ software and UVP dont like each other. there is considerable down and lag... Looks like Bye to UVP for now id rather have butter smooth gameplay and FF then just a blinking back glass. and my system is rocking Im running i5 760 Overclocked to 3.7hz GTX 280 GTX 260 and all my software is optimze set affinity and ive gone into the system start up and turned off resources.

shilmover Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 i have noticed some lag too. Not sure if its the solenoid/LED code ore note
gbeef Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 Yeah ive decided the LEDs are going to take over anyways. I would love a animated backglass but im not about to fork out $$$ for an i7 or faster Besides the LEDWIZ is bringing VP to a new level anyways. I might just try and find some Backglass images. All i know is UVP and LEDWIZ code dont mix. Toss hyperpin into the mix and theres alot of stuff running at once. My Cabs My Pin Cab Attack of the PINZ cab My Racing Cab OutRun Racing
shilmover Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 I have an i7. UVP is a must have for me...
gbeef Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 You lag and have a i7... DOH! Love UVP, but ill trade 60FPS vs 20FPS anyday My Cabs My Pin Cab Attack of the PINZ cab My Racing Cab OutRun Racing
shilmover Posted December 30, 2010 Posted December 30, 2010 i have made changes over the last couple of weeks. had no lag before fiddling... need to do some tweaking...
