it's always good to have alternatives. I am curious how the duo ledwiz id00+01 performs.

woohooo my first arduino script is up and running (flashing LED)

hahahaha, stagnation is regression (or: more toys - more fun ) I have ordered an arduino (costs only 25 bucks) for testing, can't wait to experiment I am trying to contact manuel aka mr. silver, too - maybe he finds some time.

awesome!

looks good ben, but I use cree xm-l coldwhite LEDs instead the rgbW one.

running everything with one 12vdc meanwell 12.5A 150w psu: shaker, gear, contactors, crees, knocker...

is it a china cheapo psu?

there are separate contacts (sideways) for illumination.

the idea comes from wolfsoft's blog: http://wolfsoft.de/wordpress/?p=986

that's a nice wiring, awesome! I think you are good in soldering, so you can strengthen/disburden the current/power connection on the ledwiz a bit with 4 extra wires: and finally put some heatsinks on the 4 driver chips (they get pretty hot @ load)

the ledwiz can only handle the time for the analog strobe, for example: S14 3000 (strobe is ON for 3 seconds). set the intensity and the flasherspeed directly on the strobe (dimmer and speed pot)

absolutely, the 7 cent are a good investment

afaik the finder relays (for knocker, gear,...) have an integrated diode already, check the pic. I heard also that the ledwiz itself is protected via diodes too (darlington)

thanks a lot for your work, ben! this tutorial rocks!

btw, is there a scaling effect on the loading and exit png when displayed? these images are a bit washed out/pixelated. pause image looks nice and clean.

samwyze you rock! works like a champ now

samwyze, I use win xp here. erwin, TZ NM means twilight zone nightmod and TOTAN NM tales of the arabin nights nightmod. you can find these tables here http://www.hyperspin-fe.com/forum/showthread.php?t=4614

Vrolijk Kerstfeest, erwin. your work is appreciated. did you noticed some bugs in this fp-launch version? for example, when you start some tables like TZ nighmod or TOTAN from hyperpin... it does not load visual pinball (just in the background), you have to press "exit" to switch to visual pinball. and there is the some prob with loading playfield-images during hyperpin browsing. sometimes there are just black playfield-images. odd. can you confirm?

I simply mapped my pause/genre button to "p" and shifted to "g" (via ipac software tool). now it works perfect.

no, can you give me a to-do?

works great here, thx! is it possible to set the pause-button to "g" instead "p". there is still "p" for pause when I change "pauseVPinball = p ;Key(s) to Pause visual pinball" --> to "pauseVPinball = g ;Key(s) to Pause visual pinball"

thanks analog999, great faq!! +++ greets chris
