Quoted from pinballsp:.
Board assembled, and ready to develop firmware and videos, at any rate I have do some modifications to final design and send today to manufacturer.
.
Excellent work. Let me know if I can help about 3D printing of proto or serial parts (Pi case, etc), or about European PCB manufacturing.
Quoted from pinballsp:.
Hello granDD.
Next week I receive this Pick and Place machine, which I just bought, to place components automatically on the boards, so I'll have free time to finish all the pending designs, the HolomodSP included. Now I waste a lot of time assembling boards (a lot of DMDMK66 orders), in addition to several professional designs on request that I have to do, and that leaves me very little free time.
With this investment in machinery, I hope to finish all pending designs and be able to start others as digital bumpers and several more. I will also be able to offer a better service to my clients, in the professional developments that hire me. Invest to progress.

Nice. How do you perform paste printing and reflow soldering?
Quoted from pinballsp:Hi, Davi.
To apply solder paste I use a steel stencil laser cutted, and to solder I have a pair of infrared ovens. I just needed a Pick and Place machine to be able to manufacture any circuit, quickly, with quality and without assembly costs to be able to offer the best price. It was time to make investments, because I work professionally in electronics.

I am in SMT industry (high volume manufacturing, high end machinery) and was curious what is your method.
I have seen your DMD, really nice. Keep up the good job!
Quoted from Manic:[quoted image]
Don't forget to upload same picture in March.

As of today, the graphic designer is already working on the new videos (for the FULL package) that I will publish as they become available.

Interested, email sent.
Quoted from spfxted:He has taken us through this whole adventure showing everything step by step.
He has not asked for money.
He has not given a firm date for completion.
When it's done it's done.
Either buy when it's ready or don't.
Sheesh, such drama for nothing.
If you don't want to see the process, come back when the Thread Title says... "Ready to accept orders!"
Key post!
Quoted from zr11990:I agree and what I have seen looks awesome but he may be creating a product so expensive no one will want to buy it
Quoted from lucky1:According to http://www.pinballowners.com/planeta9999 you own 29 machines and don´t know the dimensions of a standard WPC cabinet ?
As of 2013...
Quoted from j_m_:my 2 cents (for what it's worth)
the hologram was something new and special for bally/williams and it did *one* thing; it lit up when it needed to and that was it. it also did so at a point in the game when the ball was [captured] for an instance (and in the subway) so that you could enjoy the [clawing] motion that the subtle bending of the hologram provided
this mod (and mike dallas' before it) kind of went way over the top and are really more of a distraction mod. given the position of the mod, it's really only something that the player can see and doesn't provide any "eye candy" for spectators (unless they're leering over the player's shoulder
finally, for all the time and effort that pinballsp is putting into the animations, these are something that will quickly lose their [wow] factor after the first few times that they've been played.
again, just my opinion
He explained several times:
BASIC, 5 videos
MEDIUM, 10 videos
FULL, 24 videos
Quoted from roar:Worth noting that 2 of the 5 basic videos have nothing to do with game play and won't be seen past initial boot AFAIK, one video is a loop of the game title and 2 are actually related to game play.
BASIC, 5 videos, 439.42 USD
HALF, 10 videos, 532.80 USD
FULL, 24 videos, 595.09 USD
How does this thread not have key posts in it?
I see.
Too many videos: problem.
Only 2 videos: problem.
Quoted from Malenko:2 of the 5 videos not being game play related means 3 are.
439.43 divided by 3 is 146.47I'd say its a magnet for people who are bad at reading comprehension and or mathematics.
I see... According to this logic, if a Ford F150 costs $28k, price of one wheel is $7k.
Quoted from Malenko:I hope Ive clarified my post.
"It's a distraction mod - overengineered"
"It's a mod with 3 videos"
Luckily, we have options:
-3 packages
-keep our other aftermarket mod
-keep our nice/faded hologram.
Nothing is mandatory. It's an option. That's my point. I hope I've clarified my post.
Quoted from zr11990:I think this thread needs to end.
Why? The original title (as the link says: hologram-mod-for-creature-from-pinballsp-is-under-development) is still valid. No deadline. No commitment. No deposit.
This is his thread, his development money, he can keep the thread open forever. If there is no interest, there is no force to visit this thread. It's very simple. If I don't care a mod, I don't follow the thread.
Somehow the thread activity is still high.
Quoted from Manny65:I do feel that a little more work needs to be done on the rules, for example when the film is lit it'd be better to stop showing the snacks, kisses, paid videos and focus on the film starting video
Based on switch and lamp matrix info, it's really difficult. Not impossible, but difficult. In fact, need to simulate/copy the game logic in order to know what is the actual progress/mod.
Quoted from zr11990:What did he steal. He made a mod for a game like countless others have and it looks like he did a great job. It took home a while and yes we all gave home shit but he did it. I’m buying one for damn sure.
Don't you know that famous pin2dmd vs pinballsp story? Neverending story, only God knows where is the truth.
