Quoted from stumblor:

Yes that's right. The right hand 'sign' part in English runs a constant 'glitter' type effect with low intensity to make the sign look like its lightly sparkling. Since that section is also addressable there's no reason it couldn't also change depending on the current mode - at the moment I don't feel there is a need to, but it's provisioned that way just in case.

I assume that's not something configurable right? And I assume your code is closed source so that's not something we can tweak?

Quoted from Sorokyl:

All the patterns & colours are configurable over WiFi, and there's a ton of scope for tweaking it to your tastes. Currently the right-hand sign section can have its base pattern & colour modified, but isn't triggered - however this could be added easily enough in a firmware update later if there was enough demand for it. The firmware itself is closed source, and is a branch of my Lollypops code. For a brief rundown of how this works, checkout the quick start guide here:

This is all coded by me - it isn't a third party tool like WLED - so although its closed source, I'm more than happy to discuss changes, improvements, or additions. Hit me up!

Quoted from Colywobbles:

I was lucky enough to be one of Stumblor’s beta testers for his Tokyo Neon Sign Mod so I thought I’d post a little video of my experience fitting the mod hope it’s some help to those lucky enough to have their name in one.
Please note photos and videos don’t give this mod the justice it deserves and it looks far nicer in the flesh and the way it shimmers and flickers is just mind blowingly awesome.
Please excuse the broken arm but it does go to show how easy it is to fit 48hrs after an operation which involves having a plate and 8 screws put in my arm due to the bad break.

Had a drive up to see Colywobbles today and part of it was to check out @stumblors neon sign.
From someone who doesn't own a Godzilla this just goes with the theme and playfield so well.
One of them mods that look factory which is what we all want when adding things to our machines.
The lighting effects are superb on it and make it easy to see whats highlighted while your playing.
All you guys on the list will be extremely happy when you get to see this in your games.Sample videos just don't do it justice.
Well done stumblor

I believe he is working on the rear buildings and those will have the signs as part of the design. All I can say for sure is, I cant wait to install my sign! Such an amazing mod!

I was wondering if you were going to make the second sign in the back too! it’s going to be jaw dropping with both signs lit up. I can’t wait.

Quoted from stumblor:

J85M and Colywobbles fix up look sharp - time to do some beta testing!
[quoted image]
Everything still on track for mid July at the moment. In the meantime I've been refining the code, ironing out a few niggles, and testing like crazy. Second run is filling up - still around 100 places left (out of 250). Absolutely incredible. I'm super happy, but at the same time laser focused on living up to that expectation.
Pinball is rad!

I can confirm that Davey (stumblor) has hit a home run with this thing!

Baring in mind this is just a proto and improvements have already been made to the next/final revision the quality is absolutely first class this is not your typical off the shelf mod with a couple of LEDs glued into it.

Easy enough install and once it’s up and running the customisation direct from your phone or tablet (whatever you connect to it with) is pretty much endless!

You can make it as simple to understand as the factory sign, so there is no worry of it being confusing or set the light show so the sign goes nuts when you have battle, power up or ally qualified or active.

And it looks bloody when your games powered off too.

Oh and it’s worth also noting, no pictures I took did the sign any justice, when you have it set up and personalised the way you want it the whole thing is just stunning and a joy to watch,

I went with red/yellow animation for battle, green/neon green animation for ally and blue/ice blue animation for power up, when they where ready at the scoop and then a solid lit colour once collected/started.

P.s. Davey are any of the sequences/settings a slow pulse? I’d love to be able to set a slow pulse of two colours, that would change between the two colours with each pulse.

Production begins!

On the advice of Sorokyl I have recruited a small force of very vocal small handed workers. Unfortunately she asks for way too many sausage roll and roblox breaks. I would fire her but not sure how I'm fixed contractually...

Cabling and production PCBs are due to arrive next week. Once they do and I've had a chance to test everything I'll be send out PMs to the first 50 people, and then moving on the the rest of the first batch quickly after that. I'm on holiday start of August (our yearly family trip to Ibiza!) so hoping to get a good start on everything before that.

Nearly there!

I was interested in supporting this project until I saw child labor being utilized. Shameful ! Lol

#538 1 year ago

Couple of new improvements to the code while I wait for the last parts shipments to arrive:

1. On board firmware updates. No more having to download the bin file onto a separate machine and upload - the sign is now capable of connecting to the internet, checking for updates, auto downloading, updating, and installing.

2. Pattern Naming. J85M mentioned that it was sometimes hard to remember which pattern was which based on the numbering alone. I agree! Now they can be given a descriptive name.

Child labour is the least of your worries - we now have a fully automated feline labour force!

That's the Jazzbouche saucer lit and triggered by one my Lollypops LED rings. Better video of it here:

https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/stern-godzilla-mod-thread/page/31#post-6924059

We're planning on releasing these as a kit (UFO + triggered lighting, 2 x triggered RGB post lights, 1 x triggered backbox godzilla breath) in a few months time.
