netdefilr Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 The larson scanner would look awesome if you put a tinted plexiglass in front of it so you don't see the leds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gixxer61108 Posted January 28, 2012 Share Posted January 28, 2012 Oh my! Bar = Raised! you have a damn good eye for design! Where was this thread 6 months ago when I started my pincab! Lol Looks like I'll be pulling off my grill and marching down to my brotther in-law's machine shop and getting a little payback for some recent tech support.

Takedown Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 mameman, do you think an animated sequence can be made in etched acrylic? What I'm thinking is sort of stop motion, in acrylic with the led's changing behind it to make it appear there is movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine you can get an real interesting effect with varied LEDs and an arduino. You can also stack the acrylic one sheet behind the other and put different parts of the image on each sheet to vary color and depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbeckm3 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 You need a Arduino Or you could do it even cheaper with a Picaxe chip! I love those little things - getting better all the time. I built a ghostbusters proton pack a couple years ago and used a Picaxe chip to animate a series of blue led's. Very easy to do, here is the pack in action; Could just turn that on it's side, put in red led's and go nuts making different animations. Could probably use one board and run wires to both panels so they could be in sync etc. Awesome project and the cnc stuff is incredible! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lbeckm3 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Looks cool, nice job on the pack. Given me some other ideas now Hehe, do what I can for ya! Could also power it off a relay to start/stop the led's to things happening on the table. Or scratch that and just assign one or more of the picaxe pins to digital input and the ledwiz etc. could start various animations depending on which one is set high. Heck just 2 pins could do something like; low low = off no animation low high = cycle back and forth slow (game start) High low = cycle back and forth fast (multiball etc.) high high = go bananas (free game etc sends them into crazy mode!) Not sure what all you could key on there but I think there's a ton of options! Now finish it up so I can see it in action! -Lyle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
