Various Back Box lights are going to be used to also activate sounds: Players 1 thru 4, tilt, game over & match...8 seperate inputs to the Wav Trigger.

Since the Wav Trigger only accepts ground as an input, I can't directly wire the lamps to it.

So I'm using relays to switch a ground path. I got these relays as an eight relay assembly.

Since there is voltage that can travel from a lit light in the backbox, through the relay assembly back into the harness, a diode is necessary to block reverse current flow.

Since I'm not using a circuit board, I needed to make diode packages to be installed in each wire in the BB harness to each relay input.

I've finished wiring 8 inputs from the B Box and have everything where I think it will stay.

Finally got the overlay installed today. I used the wet install method, and with help it went on really easily. It's still drying, but should be ready to work with tomorrow or Monday.

I haven't posted for about 4 months, in that time I have done a bit of work.

The game is not done, probably 90% complete, I still have some issues with the wiring and the relays and how they work with the wav trigger sound files.

Here is a short video to show where I am at the present.
