Big Bang Pin - 46/30/15.6 LED Widebody (custom artwork, bezel less, deep playfield)

yes, the mirror blades are awesome on real pinball machines.

I think on VP cabinets "smoked" reflective effect looks a bit better, but we should try all available possibilities to get the best effect

what about some artwork on the backboard to match your sideart, like a real pin would have, yes it would be cab specific but would also give you more of that 3d feel.

I think the mirror effect may be cool.

Tried some stern graphics on my backboard and found that it seemed to flatten the 3d illusion of the table but a 3d graphic like this may be excellant..

the twilight zone custom sideboard decals are nice. I also like cab specific sideboard idea, but I don't know if it feels "ok" for every table.

here is a cool example for an AFM

rockyrocket seems also be right that a static image flattens the 3D illusion on VP cabs.

so maybe better go the reflective/mirror way - so it's more univeral and give a bit of 3D.... hmmmm

After helping my friend pick up his IM with the mirror blades over the weekend I decided to try a cheap door mirror just on the sides.

I have not cut glass before so hopefully it will go well. The door mirror, glass cutter and mounting tape are about $12 total. If I don’t like it I am no out much money.

[chriz99]

cool beans, plz post some pics/vids, can't wait to see the effect

[luvthatapex]

I was playing TOM the other night and thought it was so cool seeing the ball at the top rollovers in a reflection. Immediately I thought of the mirror blades, but didn't want to spend so much for a maybe... I look forward to see your cabinet with the mirrored sides. I think it will add no only flasher reflection, but also increase the depth realism. Hope so!

you can also get mirrored plexi/acrylic which cuts easy, so maybe look into that.

I've used the mirrored acrylic in a lot of car audio projects and its really easy to work with compared to an actual mirror. Use a couple scrap pieces if u can get any so you can get a feel for cutting it.

thats a nice idea! acrylic mirror!

is there also a "dark" acrylic mirror available... like smoked glas?

[rockyrocket]

This stuff may work..

Think we had this back when i was at school, it could be cut with scissors if its the same stuff not smoked though.

[Gigagamesguy]

that's the way I wired it:

hi i can see green,violett,blue go to the led stripe thats ok

the red one to the led stripe thats ok

four connetctions thats finished

the input green,violett,blue and red and gray is ok

i go from led wiz rgw to the flipperbuttons rgb led thats came from wolfsoft

and from the same connector from the ledwiz to the 4 Kanal 12V Relais Relay Modul for PIC ARM AVR Arduino

or go i from the ledwiz to the 4 Kanal 12V Relais Relay Modul for PIC ARM AVR Arduino and from there to the flipper button rgb led's and stripes ???

i can see a white cable 3 times for what is this????

[chriz99]

this way is correct

[Gigagamesguy]

What is with the White Cable

What is with the 500 mäh Output its ok

I asked here thats for Reading all member

[chriz99]

Installed a microswitch on the coindoor reject-button. Glued it sideways, so you still can use the reject and insert coin function.

[Gigagamesguy]

it gives a plan to use the rejekt button a small plate with holes

[Zablon]

The artwork on this one still amazes me. One day I might actually come up with a name and artwork for mine lol.

[chriz99]

got some opto relays for a nice price... my cab is now 100% opto controlled Ledwiz stays cool and my flashers are now 700ma per output:

switched also to 5v, so I need just 3watt resistors for the flashers.

but it was a real PITA to solder that thing

[pixelmagic]

you must be the real soldering monster then !!

[chriz99]

I learned from the solder demon

[Gigagamesguy]

Build you an fluxcompensator

[pinballlooking]

Are the flashers a lot brighter now?

[chriz99]

thanks to the optos I drive my backbox and playfield flashers with 350mA each. before was 300mA backbox and 100mA playfield. now they are really flashing

if you use original cree rgb led you could drive them with 700ma - for the ultimative FLASH
