Ahh Jimmy,

Just saw this post..TRON!!! My LE thanks you….backboard kit ordered….

Edit - Eek… not so much worried about the light cycles as suspect they will still look fine. Gonna have to check the moving recognizer thing though. That thing is badass and hoping something can be sorted there….

Quoted from Compy:

Evening all,
Recognizers were cut and test fit yesterday. So far so good, so now just running a bazillion of them and then sending emails out. Basically everyone that wanted their unit held for a moving recognizer are the ones that we've got left in the queue (most are LE owners).
One question we get a lot is if you need another recognizer toy, and the answer is no. You use your old one, two screws and it unmounts from your LE moving recognizer assembly arm or your existing TRON plastic. The new unit is a shrunken version of the factory one and the recognizer is designed to bolt right in place with the same screws.
Another question is why the unit hasn't been shown on a bunch of Twitch channels, etc. - We do have several units going out to Twitch streamers in the next batch since it's near the end of the run. We just didn't feel right cutting in line and sending units out to them (though we're thankful for them, and they've been super patient, as have all of you!). In fact, Fliptronic was nice enough to donate their Tron to us for a loooong time to test every unit before it left.
Since most (if not all) of the production run will be done this month, we're planning on having units for sale at the Texas Pinball Festival, so make sure to come out and see what's up!

Kit installed w moving recognizer successfully. Great add!!

Question however (reached to /Jimmy but haven't heard back..might be covered up)....the video has random, short digital glitches appearing throughout all clips. Can't believe this is intended.....reseated the mini ribbon, both ends, from display to controller, and swapped out the HDMI cable, both producing no change.

Anywhere else to look? I don't have a spare mini ribbon to swap (in my shop), so maybe the cable itself is faulty? Best source to obtain? thx

Quoted from snakesnsparklers:

Those are normal and built into the video files. If you take out the microSD card, you can view the files on your computer and see that they will play exactly the same.

Huge thanks for clarification!! My Alien has them as well, but seemed more "normal" with the vibe they were trying to achieve.

Does make sense for Tron as well, just seemed a bit excessive at certain points. Glad to know as now my OCD can rest...thanks again!....

Quoted from Tekman:

Compy, I'm an LE owner and only designed it for utilizing the original LE hardware under LE factory software control and there is zero Pro integration with it. I have my own custom moving recognizer assembly, but the only controller version I offer to everyone is a version for controlling your moving recognizer kit with an LE. It's probably best for people to reach out to me directly if they want one for their LE. Thanks.

And amazing it is....huge thanks for doing this!
