I put one in Humpty Dumpty and it works just fine.

I want one in my bk2k when the drawbridge goes down

C'mon now.

I put a Pinbits AFM shaker in my POTC, it shakes when you smack the Krakken.

In short, yes.

We used a pig 2 to put a shaker motor into an F14. You got little shakes from the pop bumper, long hard shakes from yagov and ball return, and a pulsing shake during multiball.

The pig 2 can use lamps, flashers, motors, switches, and coils to trigger shakes.

We still need to do further testing but if you want to find out more, PM me.

You can check out the pig 2 at http://www.dkpinball.com/DKWP/?page_id=457.

How did you wire it? I think POTC would be awesome with a shaker.

Black to ground braid purple to the black on the Krakken flasher and red to the red on the Krakken flasher.
Green and white are not used.
It works really well in this game.

Cough, my Hyperpin has 2 shaker motors that work for all the games listed - Change a single file and add the solenoid number, duration of milliseconds, and the intensity. Fully customizable

Back to my Hefeweisen

For real pins, there are a few kits or the PIG/PIG2. The PIG sounds like it has the most customizable options for a non-shaker pin. The kits will save you some funds, if they are available.

I did! Sometimes it shakes so much, Humpty falls off the wall!

Sorry for the delay, Expo kind of swallowed me up. Unfortunately no, the PIG only takes electrical signals (and magnetic if you're using reed switches) but it does not react to game sound.

None will work in an f14. You're going to have to adapt it. Try a stern shaker. The motor will need 12v and ground. Then you have a brown wire to go to your pig.

a shaker motor is nothing more than a motor. i have put stern motors in williams games. it just takes the signal from the machines, activates the 12v line and starts shaking.

+1 I put a STTNG shaker from Pinbits in my POTC. It shakes when you hit the ship/Kraken.

I'm really sorry on the lag for this one. You can use anyone's shaker motor. I'll be getting the one I do the testing on from Pinball Life. I have the code and I meant to pick up the test motor last week. Life just keeps getting in the way.

I'll get an update as soon as I can.

Edit: Also, the -20 temperatures really squashed the trips to PBL for me last week.

Yea, these methods are good. I wrote the guide on how to do that on PoTC. But if you're going to use a pig2 to control the process, you probably don't want the extra processing provided by these motors. Instead, you'd use the microcontroller on the pig2 to handle the pulse length.
