New Mod: TRON Interactive Backboard Display

Good evening all,

First off, thank you so much to all of you for being so patient. Like the rest of the world, we're plagued by freight/logistics delays and supply shortages. So here's where we're at:

1. We went in on a bulk order with the Pinball Mod Co. to the same display supplier. You may know Pinball Mod Co as the company that offers IPS display upgrades for Spooky games. The 15.6" TFT LCDs that we originally designed this with were becoming shorter and shorter in supply. So, to alleviate any concerns and offer a higher quality product, we upgraded everyone to IPS displays and took the hit on margin. Those IPS displays offer a MUCH crisper picture with a much greater color contrast.

We then got the IPS display panels, but the company shipped the wrong control cards. Scott at PMC tested various power adapters and dongles and determined that they weren't a viable option, so he hustled and ordered the replacement controller cards. Those are scheduled to be delivered to PMC Tomorrow or Wednesday and they'll turn around and ship to us. Everything domestically goes UPS, so I'd expect to have these in by Monday at the latest.

Here's the tracking:

2. A MAJOR MAJOR MAJOR thanks to Fliptronic for lending me their TRON. For those who are wondering, the only units in existence are the prototypes I made. They were nice enough to test the unit, stream it and bring it to the Houston show this past weekend. Jordan and Becca, thank you so much. The test unit is now set up here for testing the initial units before they go out to you.

3. Plastics - We upgraded everyone to anti glare plastics. Through the testing on the Fliptronic stream, we noticed that it provided a much better picture given the bright LED GI that TRON has. This wasn't an issue on Twilight Zone just due to natural darkness at the back of the playfield. Unlike Twilight Zone units, everyone gets printed artwork plastics for free that match the playfield aesthetic.

4. Video assets - Done

5. Backboard CNC cutouts - Done

We've got all of the electronics for the controller boards in stock. We're currently assembling the cable harnesses by hand (as we do typically, but Molex shortages also make this a bit easier on time estimates).

Financially speaking, we haven't spent a dime of anyone's money. To date, I've only issued one refund to someone that decided to sell their game (hard to argue with current market demand!). However you'll be offered any chances to refund without so much as a glare just by shooting me an email. We'll honor those right up to the point where we assemble and ship your unit! Then of course, we'll offer refunds if you're not satisfied (pending a return of course!).

Sorry for the delay in updates, we've been heads down getting this thing polished up for recent shows. My phone number is also on the website, so feel free to call or email any time!

I'll chime in and say working with Jimmy on this has been super easygoing and pleasant. The mod looks fantastic in person, and he has been receptive to my feedback. We loaned him our Tron to hopefully speed things up for everyone so he didn't have to wait to test new iterations at our place, and because y'all should get this mod asap, it's so so slick (#shill). At Houston arcade expo the machine sat turned on for about 18 hours a day, for 3 days, and we recorded about 600 plays on it. The first day we saw a freeze occur about once every few hours, turned out the flasher board was drawing too much off the controller and so just the flasher board was unplugged. Jimmy already knows how to remedy the issue but once unplugged there was zero issues for the rest of the expo, and lots of people I showed it off to loved it! They also loved the 4 powerballs we stuck in there as well

Thanks for the update Jimmy. Very excited to see it.

Do you still plan on creating a fiber-optic ramp mod to tie into this in the future? Nobody makes them anymore and lord knows my machine could use it.

Not sure what picture you're looking at. The one posted by fliptronic (and one I'll post below for additional reference) shows where we move them to the sides. We include mounting plastics/hardware to relocate your light cycles with every kit.

Ahh yeah, good catch. We only enabled that because it was a show game, and we did a few custom tweaks for our friends at Fliptronic. Production customer units will ship without those enabled so it won't be a distraction! Pure undiluted TRON goodness headed your way.

UPDATE:

We're now packing and shipping the first batch! The CNC machine is cooking and churning out backboards! As of today, we've got a ton of IPS LCD panels in stock and are placing our second order for more due to demand. These panels are flat out gorgeous and paper thin.

PXL_20211124_003524477 (resized).jpg

MOVING RECOGNIZER:

PXL_20211124_024919080.MP (resized).jpg
(Excuse the lighting, it was mid-effect)

Yep, it's here! The moving recognizer integrates seamlessly with the TRON Pinvision through our expansion board. The recognizer re-uses the toy that is already on your game and the entire mod replaces the top disc plastic on the same 4 locking screws/posts. For those who want this without a Pinvision backboard display, we're actively working on an interactive version. We don't want something that just sits there and spins all the time.

So, let's summarize all the options that are available and/or included:

1. TRON Pinvision display controller (everyone gets this) - Includes all graphics and the ability to customize any and all animations on the SD card.
2. HD IPS display panel (included) - Well worth the wait that we encountered, IMO
3. Anti glare reverse printed plastics (included)
4. Lightcycle relocation plastics (included) - Allows you to quickly and easily mount your lightcycles off to the side so you don't lose them!
5. 86Pixels "Big ass light bar" - provides themed/controlled RGB lighting on top of the display panel with lighting effects for modes/animations ($69)
6. Moving Recognizer Kit - Move yo' recognizer - $69 if you have a Pinvision kit (because we don't have to include the extra PCB hardware as its built into the master unit)

Happy Thanksgiving all! Me and Alana are staying local and packing/shipping orders!

Don't hesitate to post your questions here or by email. I'm still catching up on Pinside DMs, but should have those whittled down here shortly!

Simply put, it's not connected to the backboard at all. We can't drill through a display panel (the display extends all the way to the bottom of the backboard behind the orbit ball guides).

We have a plastic that replaces the plastic that is on top of the disc mech with the 4 standing screws. On top of that plastic is a motor assembly with a cable harness that runs to the right and beneath the playfield and connects to our interface board on the backboard unit. From there, the controller can issue the appropriate commands on when/when not to move.

Evening all,

Yeah, emails and DMs have been kind of hectic and we've been catching up when there's gaps in the production schedule. We're caught up now, but if you sent me questions that didn't get answered, just give me a nudge in a DM and I'll get you squared away.

Prototype units have been sent out and we've reached out to the current batch of customers for final payment. The final parts for the main display units arrived yesterday, so we've been assembling those.

Clear PETG plastics are a bit behind, so we're waiting on those to arrive before we start shipping moving recognizers and light bars, though ETA on those is 12/17. It doesn't prohibit us from sending out units in the meantime though. The printed anti-glare plastics that protect the display are in stock thanks to our awesome supplier there. Any customers who have ordered or intend to order light bars/moving recognizers will get those in separate shipments when those materials arrive and are assembled.

Me and Alana are out of the country next week (a cruise we've had planned for years). Supplies continue to arrive and we have someone here making sure they're signed for so we continue to have parts on hand for the remainders of the batch.

So, until Sunday (when we head for the port), we're assembling yet another batch of Pinvision TRON displays and reaching out to customers!

Thank y'all for your patience (we owe you the world). We have some great things in store, and I have to say, these things look awesome.

Thanks for clarifying for Tron LE owners.
I noticed in the video, a motor sound when the recognizer started moving left to right.
Was this coming from the spinning disc or the mod motor?

That is most definitely the disc motor. The glass was also off. If the disc motor wasn't running, you can slightly hear the recognizer, but we pulse the motor at a very low rate to control the speed, which also keeps the noise down.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

For everyone else as a reminder, we don't take any sort of final payment until the week your mod is ready to be assembled and tested. In the event that anyone decides to back out, they'll get a full refund and the slot goes to the next person in line so we keep things moving!

Back to the shop!

Hey Jimmy, your work looks amazing. I'm already in on the pre-order so I'm wondering when in the proccess can I add on the moving recoginizer and big ass light bar? Also do you have any footage illustrating the light bar in action?

To clarify, I have a tricked out pro with a lighted stationary recoginizer and with your panel and add on I will have all the LE goodness?

I just got mine installed and it looks great. I used the included plastics to relocate the lightcycles, except I screwed them in from the bottom into the wheels instead of using the included Velcro. A clear center plastic is also included to use where the old blue cycle used to be for airballs, but I have a translucent blue Pinbits protector and it's clear enough to see through so I just kept that there and removed the stock opaque plastic that used to sit on top of it.

Love the GI colors. Sidenote, looks like your GI on the back is brighter than on mine, I'll have to check what I have.

I've been trying to find the yellow plastic protector on the right of the arcade scoop, with the ZEN lettering on top of it, would you have a pointer ?

Regards

It's actually orange like the left side sling protectors and just looks yellow in this pic due to the lighting. I got it in the set from Pinbits. Sadly they seem to be MIA for over a year now

I don’t see it in the pics but just wondering did you get the light bar too? If not does the screen make up for noticing any lost lighting effects from the stock backboard? Haven’t seen any vid of it to know if it’s cool or overkill etc.. Thx

I don't think anybody has the light bar yet, it should be available at a later date (soon hopefully?). I do plan on getting one when they're available though.

As far as lighting effects go - I don't miss the row of GI from the stock backboard at all since the playfield is well lit back there without it. I don't miss the flashers either. So my short answer is yes, the screen makes up for the lack of the stock backboard lighting in my opinion

Sounds good thanks for the feedback, excited to get the screen on the grid!
