Gottlieb, 1994Quoted from racecar85:estion for you guys adding interactive undercab lighting. Where is the source of this lighting signal. I have a classic with an RGB main saucer, but no speaker lights. I'd like to tie in the undercab lighting to the saucer, just not sure where the saucer is getting its color changing signal. Thanks for any
It’s this plug. (See pics) the yellow is 12v positive blue green and red are the switched negatives that turn on the leds. Use a dvm to verify.
Hey Scott, My RGB reel arrived today. Any suggestions to remove the topside silicone material to permit soldering to the copper pads when I cut the strip into smaller segments?
I think we've got a different product. Base material on mine is white and yours black. You can kind of see the thickness of the clear top material (rubber/plastic material). I have not clipped a segment off yet; hoping the clear material will simply peel away from the base material:
Also, I don't plan to use the adhesive backing to attach to the cabinet. My thought is to attach to thin wooden strips, then Velcro the strips to the cabinet. Any suggestions?
It's the same one Mark. I had to change out of that original strip remember. That black one was the wrong polarity. You need to just take an Exacto knife or equivalent and just scrape off that rubber coating to get to the pads. Make sure you scratch those pads real good before you tint them with soldier. Then tint the pads and wires to just soldier them together. It works real good and doesn't overheat the strip. You can cut off that strip where ever you need at those dividers. Some guys staple them to the bottom which gives a nice neat look. You can also use some zip screws and large plastic washers (hardware store). Just make sure you don't put a screw through the strip!

Quoted from whthrs166:ere is my video on both the interactive cabinet lighting (that coinsides with the game play) and the interactive saucer lighting (that coinsides with the topper lighting.
Even your cat seems to be enjoying it!

I’m confused on the interactive cabinet lighting. It looks the undercab lighting is static, always on and just changing when the speaker lights change. It would be better to tie your undercab lights to the topper lights, that would really be interactive.

When you play the game you see that the lighting for the speakers coinsides with modes in the game. You cant get anymore interactive that! The topper just flashes randomly. There is nothing static about the cabinet lighting.

She loves that game! You would think that she run out there with hair on fire.

You can get more interactive, you can tap off the flashers circuit via the board. You basically need the equivalent of a piggyback/splitter. My guess is what you did to tap off the speaker rgb, you could do the same for the flashers in the game. What you’ve done is nice, not trying to be critical, just noting another possible way.

I thought Wayne was the only one bringing them in... also from CGC updates they would only have just finished the first batch for overseas in the last few days... Where is AW sourcing them?

Quick question please, where can I find how many games have been played in my Attack From Mars R?
Thank you

Quoted from LTG:Go into Diagnostics, go to Book Keeping menu, enter, step through them. Same as a Williams AFM.

THANK YOU LTG!
Quoted from Pmaino:Has anyone had any issues with the F115 fuse constantly blowing. I was playing a game and decided to adjust the flipper strength. Once I did this, I started a new game and the right flipper was help up for a few seconds then it went down. Flipper was dead. I assumed a bad fuse which was the case. Put in a new fuse and then turned the game on. Immediately the fuse blew again. Just opened a ticket a few minutes ago with Chicago gaming and I am await some help there. Figured in the meantime I'd come on the message boards to see if anyone else has had this issue. I checked all the connections in the back box to make sure no wires are being pinched. Wires to the coil and EOS all look normal.
Two questions:
1. what the right fuse is so i can order a bunch more?
2. How can I start trouble shooting this?
Thanks,
Pete
I just wanted to update everyone on my fuse / right flipper not working. It was indeed and issue with the solenoid driver board. The give away was when i replaced the fuse and turned the game on, the flipper would automatically fire and stay up for a few seconds, then the fuse would blow.
Opened a ticket and received communication within an hour or so from Lloyd and team. Once we figured out what the issue was I received a call from Doug saying that they were testing my new board and it will be shipped out immediately. Board arrived today and it fixed the problem. Customer service is a 10/10 here.

Quoted from whthrs166:. If you tap into the flasher circuits all you are going to get is more flashing lights. You can call that more interactivity if you like it’s just not so in my book. Interactivity is the software controlling the lights this is clearly evident when colors of the lights coinside with game modes.
I’ll try to hook it up your way and see if i like it. I don’t like having the lights on all the time, but maybe it will be ok.
Yeah just check it out. I'm not saying that everyone should have the same opinion. I just find myself looking for what the lighting does when I enter certain modes because the changes in color light up the room. Like when I attack the mother ship everything goes RED! Or when I get a piece for the Atomic Blaster everything goes blue. Then the saucers that I lit up, work with the topper so they sometimes flash completely different colors then the cabinet and the topper (cant really figure out why the colors are different then the topper colors, but anyway) I am waiting on parts to hook up a second saucer because the topper has two separate sides and I want a lit saucer for each side so their lighting will oppose and bounce from each other.
Here is the three way cable I made up that allows for a plug and play for either under cabinet lighting (controlled by the game) or a flashing saucer lighting (controlled by the topper board) the connectors the game uses at the speaker led pods and the topper leds are identical ( 4 pin square . 062) The wire colors and positions are the same as well. I got my connectors from Marco Specialties You should be able to get them from anyone that sells electronic components

Whthrs, where did you got the 2 big saucers that you put besides the topper please?
Thank you
Those are Trendmasters Mars Attacks movie toys. You can find them on Ebay from time to time. There is one on ebay now item number 112614753091
32 bucks Just know that once you get it you have to take the screws out so you can split the saucer and put in the LED strip. Its pretty easy.
