reko19 Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Chris, Could you please post a sample of the latest led control excel file for one of the tables, I am having hard time figuring out how new controls work. Also, is the old syntax for RGB leds still works, or do I need to redo my old files? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelmagic Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Also, is the old syntax for RGB leds still works, or do I need to redo my old files? Just a pointer: The 'old' config for the RGB leds will be in my upcoming default config utility. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lettuce Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Just a pointer: The 'old' config for the RGB leds will be in my upcoming default config utility. Do we have a time frame for the release, 1 week, 1 month etc?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pixelmagic Posted February 8, 2011 Share Posted February 8, 2011 Do we have a time frame for the release, 1 week, 1 month etc?? As with most of things, it will be done when it will be done It depends on some things, one is my time for it, second i need some help on some things. Testing is one thing, and i would like to have table names in stead of ROM names, but i then need a convertion table (table name vs rom name). I don't have that (yet). But i like to think in weeks, not months, so that must give you a hint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zablon Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I used to mess with PinMAME and had seen a few hints of Futurepin, I never realized anyone had taken it to this extent. So, while I'm a bit behind I see, the finished products are simply amazing. I have a spare Mata Hari cabinet that I might try this with. I don't know if I have the know how to go to the detail (tilts, buttons, feedback, dmd) as the others here... One question I had was, I see the OP used 3 displays - I don't really know how the software works, but could you possible use a larger 16:9 screen positioned lengthwise (like the play table). Then once you put the bezel of choice on adjust the screen to out put the Backglass and DMD info in the correct place? Then again, maybe he did it that way to make room for the speakers...

chriz99 Posted February 9, 2011 Author Share Posted February 9, 2011 yes, you can use 3-screens or 2-screens. both is possible. you can simply drag and drop your dmd to the position you want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numiah Posted February 9, 2011 Share Posted February 9, 2011 I have a question about the resistors used. According to the calculator I only need 1-2 Watt at 22Ohm. I found some 5W 22Ohm on a local shop, but why are your resistors that big ? The ones I found are really tiny, but still can cope with 5 watts ? So I assume I'd be way over in the safe zone with these ...

Am I missing something here ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriz99 Posted February 10, 2011 Author Share Posted February 10, 2011 if you drive the cree's with 12v, each resistor have to kill about 4watt. you should always double the capable watt of the resistor, so 9watt would be ok. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistermixer Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Does anyone have expirience with led strobolights , like american dj stuff ? It's cheap and don't have to change any lamps, but don't know if the effect is strong enough for our cabinets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriz99 Posted February 12, 2011 Author Share Posted February 12, 2011 I tried white leds, 2-4 mini strobe-lights, a 150w strobe and then the big beast strobe (up to 15000 lumen) only the big strobe gives me that effect I always wanted. but... like everything, it's a matter of taste. so better test some different strobe toys and choose your personal favorite.

Guest gstav Posted February 12, 2011 Share Posted February 12, 2011 I bought this stobes for under glass mounting. Do NOT think these are strong enought for that blinding effect. So the stronger the better in this case IMO. cheap light = cheap effect /mr. eBay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Usul Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 got a pic from klaus about the shaker/ledwiz 12v wiring Hi Chris, in that pic where does the diode need to go? Thx, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mameman Posted February 13, 2011 Share Posted February 13, 2011 diode goes across the motor's positive and negative terminals with the white band on the positive side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lettuce Posted February 18, 2011 Share Posted February 18, 2011 Chriz, where did u get the 220mm fan grills from that are on your cab, i think i need some as i caught my cat the other day staring up at the fan on the underside of the cab, can see her trying to play tag with it if i dont get a gaurd on there. Also is there a way to make the contactors louder, im currently only using the 100w model of the same PSU you have chris, would getting the 150w model make them louder??

chriz99 Posted February 18, 2011 Author Share Posted February 18, 2011 I use a speaker grill for my 220mm fans, can be found on ebay. the contactors are louder when they are screwed/mounted in your cabinet... so they have almost the same loudness as original pinball solenoids.

mistermixer Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 tested a couple of strobes last days 1 - led strobe with 290 white leds : it's the equivalent of a 70 watt strobe,works fine but doesn't give that extra when mounted on the back.Think it must shine right into your face for a 'smily' experience. 2 - analog strobe 1500 watt : i'm speechless, what a thrill , everybody go for it . Costs NEW 53 euro's here; Thanx Chris99 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistermixer Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 mounted on the back even the cat likes it ( the box the strobe was in ) :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thewool Posted February 24, 2011 Share Posted February 24, 2011 lol at the cat - they seem to either like bags or boxes, yours must be a box cat :0) Apart from the voltage issues, are these strobes easy to wire up to the LEDWiz? Do you have to set the flash frequency manually? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chriz99 Posted February 24, 2011 Author Share Posted February 24, 2011 lol, nice pics mistermixer! glad you like the big old beast strobe it's cheap and unbeatable bright Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
