Nice going, in the current version of VP-Fx we have the same kind of function, can be driven with a single line.

The plan is that the vbs script checks the time and reacts on that by setting the config for contactors/shakers on or off.

Keep going, things can only get better and better !

Cool, sounds like you're getting closer to completion. :)

When you say back bumper, are you talking about the center contactor or the "less noisy" contactor?

I really like the placement of the center contactor. I can hear and feel it pretty well. As for the less noisy contactor, I honestly don't know if I hear or feel it at all. I'm not sure when it's supposed to go off.

Overall I'm very pleased with the force feedback, and I would recommend the same placement to other people, with maybe the exception of the less noisy contactor. The jury is still out on that one. ;)

I think i used the same placement as deegor and a few others on the contactors so im eager to see how they sound. The back one for me is way in the back of the cab so i doubt i'll hear it.

Pinball sounds like we are about on the same progress of wiring i think all i've got left to do is wire in rgb flippers, underlight and cree's and coin door. Should be doing some configuration by weeks end.

I think i've also got some work to do in hyperpin since the last time i touched it was about 3 or 4 months ago.

A little while ago I had posted in another thread about problems I was having with the default intensity for the shaker motor in Pixelmagic's ledwiz config tool. While the defaults probably work well for some shaker motors, it was just a bit too much for mine. I tried going through my ledcontrol.ini file by hand to modify the values, but that was a tedious process. Not to mention that every time I wanted to update my ledcontrol file for the new table configurations I would have to go back and manually alter those values again.

Unfortunately Pixelmagic's tool does not allow one to specify the maximum/minimum intensity, and I think he's busy gearing up for the soon to be release VP-FX for the arduino board he's been working hard on. So for those of you few who have shaker motors and the default intensity is a little too high, here is a tool I created to fix those values for you.

LEDWiz Shaker Intensity Mod

Hopefully someone will find some use for it.

And if you find any issues, please let me know so I can fix them.

**NOTE: The shaker intensity mod is no longer needed as Pixelmagic has incorporated this feature into his tool.

Hi Deegor, nice work !

Did not realise that there was more demand then 1 person for this modification, sorry for that.

Would you mind if i put the code you are using in the original tool, just to keeps things in one place ?

Thanks, Erwin

That would be great.

Everyone that based the shaker off Darkfall design

That would be great. I'll PM you a link for the code.

My camera kind of sucks, but here are some pics of the bottom.

While they work perfectly while in Hyperpin, I'm having some issues running the strip while in VP. Once a table is launched and the rom finishes initializing, the relay I have it connected to begins switching rapidly.

I've done all the troubleshooting I can from a wiring standpoint, and I think it is setup properly. It works perfectly outside of VP, just not inside.

Maxx and Chriz have given me some ideas that I will try and I'll report back with any success I have. It could be as simple as the relays I'm using just can't handle it.
