Thanks Zeb, I'll try it using the 24v with a diode and report back after I get it done.

Small bump for the "Is it safe to hook up a WMS Knocker to the Zeb High Power Board?" And an update for anyone wanting to see the end-results of the Zebulon High Power Board in 4 LED per channel action. Here's a demo the LEDWiz ports at the beginning of this vid: Big thanks to Zeb and Max for their work on these boards

Another question... Does anyone happen to know how many Amps a AE-23-800 coil uses? I bought a knocker from PBL w/intent of hooking it up via the Zebulon board, or maybe a relay, but I can't seem to find out the amps that it pulls. My understanding is that you can use a 48v PSU or a 24v, but the 48v will be louder.

Thanks for the quick response. I am really more disappointed now that I have to wait longer when the XPin is in stock What color did you get? How does it look? Any chance of a vid?

I got the PinDMD from VirtuaPin, but still waiting for the Vishay DMD. The PinDMD has a connector that goes to the DMD, and has what looks like a Mini-HDMI port. Do I need to buy a Mini-HDMI <-> USB convertor to be able to connect to the PC?

LOL - I believe PinballLooking was testing. FWIW: The Xpin DMD guy posted on Pinside that they had them in stock, and I asked him about the Hyperpin testing with the Russ's PinDMD board. He said that he'd forgot, and he'd check into it. I am waiting too - So you aren't the only one hearing crickets

Thanks Zeb and Max for such QUICK responces. I am going to run 4 350ma LEDs to each port in a set - each port will firing 1 set of 4. Each LED set (of 4) will be outputting: 4*350ma ~ 1.7a 3 RGB sets (of 4) will use the 9 ports It will be a total of 12 RGB LEDs only using 9 ports. Yes, I'll keep 5v going to the LEDWiz. I was planning to use the remaining LEDwiz ports for the lower voltage stuff that'll be safer. Another quick question, that I already think I understand: The zebulon board requires no voltage bank like the ledwiz, just the 5v and 12v for the board itself

I was planning on hooking up the Zebulon High Power board. My intent was to use it to drive 3 sets of 4 RGB LEDs @ 12v (1-9 ports) and 7 Contactors @ 24v (10-16 ports) FWIW, I believe that the conection for the Zebulon board seems easy - Connect it to the 17-36 output fom the LEDWiz, and take out the LEDWiz "Bank Voltage" Power cables - leaving them empty. My question is: Can I still use my LEDWiz as normal for the 1-16 and plug in 5v and 12v into the "Bank Voltage"?

WooHoo - THANKS Zeb! I believe that it would actually be safe for me to use up to 8 per channel, if I was using 350ma: Red - 33 ohms @ 4 Watts Green - 27 ohms @ 3.3 Watts Blue - 27 ohms @ 3.3 Watts I believe that 4 per channel with these specs this should be safe. 4 @ 350ma = 1.4a

How many amps can the High Power zebulon board handle per channel? Using the VPforums, I wasn't able to see the details on the board (and I have one ) I was hoping to hook up multiple LEDs per channel, if possible.

Cool - I might be interested in one too

+1 - I can give a small donation via paypal too. I seen that there was a "Beer Me" or something of that nature that looked like it was going to be in Hyperspin, so we could buy a helpful person a drink, so to speak. It looked like the plan was cancelled, but it sounded like a cool option.

From my little snipplet above, the following code is StringRight, ending, tableName, 3 if (ending = "B2S") You must rename the GI8 to end with B2S Rename physical table.VPT and the Database file to match In Example <game name="ScaredStiff_FS_GI8_B2S"> <description>Scared Stiff Dark Mod (Bally 1996)</description> <!-- <version>Scared_Stiff_VP9_1.443FS> --> <manufacturer>Bally</manufacturer> <year>1996</year> <type>SS</type> </game> <game name="ScaredStiff_FS_B2S"> <description>Scared Stiff (Bally 1996)</description> <!-- <version>Scared_Stiff_VP9_1.44FS> --> <manufacturer>Bally</manufacturer> <year>1996</year> <type>SS</type> </game>

Ahhh, I see what you are saying "you might have some new table that has launch of b2s in the table script - you have to disable that." GoSub rosve; runs the Backglass.EXE file independantly. My B2S.VPT files are setup to launch the Backglass.EXE files. I can goback and reedit them, and we are good FYI: My Exit Table is ESC. I am using iPac2 It doesn't exit the Backglass.EXE until the 3...2...1... timer runs out. So it is actually working great with the edit that I did. I will still change it back, so that I am in sync will future updates. THANKS!!!!

I have been using an older version, but now that I have been using the B2S, I have update to WIP8. At first, it seemed that the update did nothing different for B2S. I read throught the AHK, and seen that the AHK is looking for filename ending in B2S. I always have renamed my files (removing the B2S), so I renamed them back (with the B2S). I renamed the tablename in my databases. I run the B2S, and get the blankscreen and errror "Beep" - no message. I press T, then CTL-ATL-DELETE - kill the Blankscreen and then can run HP again. I can run regular tables, but once I run a B2S, I get the same problem. I go back to the AHK and find this: GoSub rosve ; rosve support for B2S active backglasses Run, "%emuPath%\%executable%" /play -"%tablePath%%tableName%.vpt",, Min UseErrorLevel rosve: ;-------------------------------------------------------------- ;------ check if an active backglass shall be started ----- ;-------------------------------------------------------------- StringRight, ending, tableName, 3 if (ending = "B2S") { Run, %tablePath%%tableName%.exe, %tablePath% sleep 200 } return This is essentially telling it to Run the B2S for the Rosve Module without the play option then Run again with the Play option. The B2S were running fine before my update - they just didn't close. I commented out the GoSub rosve and recompiled. Now, I am working. No need to run without play switch, that might have been what was causing my error, or maybe it was due to multiple instances? I believe this might be part of the problem with people having multiple instances of VP running.
