what type of cables are you using for the coils, the connector allows 18 awg right?
that equals 0.8mm wire and with outer shell 1mm

Quoted from legtod2:

stefanmader, 18 awg for coils, 22 awg for swtiches

Thanks

you can add "enable_events: machine_reset_phase_3" to your flippers. that activates the flippers without starting a game.

https://docs.missionpinball.org/en/latest/tutorial/3_get_flipping.html
flippers:
left_flipper:
main_coil: c_flipper_left_main
hold_coil: c_flipper_left_hold
activation_switch: s_left_flipper
enable_events: machine_reset_phase_3
right_flipper:
main_coil: c_flipper_right_main
hold_coil: c_flipper_right_hold
activation_switch: s_right_flipper
enable_events: machine_reset_phase_3

i just browsed your youtube, really cool stuff! Saw you arcade machine, with hyperspin right? and fruitbox for the raspberry pi.
i have also build an Arcade machine with hyperspin, and have made a R2D2 Jukebox with fruitbox in the past. Love to tinker with that stuff.

you don't happen to work in IT too, do you?

Glad you are able to wrap this project up and move on to the next one! I look forward to seeing Close Encounters come to life. Now if I could just finish my project game...

Have to say now that i got my cobrapin working, i really love it. It is so cool that it is an all in one board! And love that you put the connectors and crimp contacts in there as well!

Hey may i ask, how many LEDs are you using and what fuse do you use for the 5V? I'm unsure how to calculate that

#115 2 years ago
Quoted from legtod2:

Stefanmader
I am using 28 ws2811 led's on one string of the two available ports of the Cobrapin board. I forgot what the existing on board fuse for the 5 vdc fuse is.
Luckily all fuses required were provided with the cobrapin board. I will double check which fuse I am using when I get home after work.

Thank you!

Check out the guide here: https://learn.adafruit.com/adafruit-neopixel-uberguide/powering-neopixels?gclid=CjwKCAjw49qKBhAoEiwAHQVTo-OIAZvEUCg1lBZthNtg3nMk7zkyBlasDN9e8fYGSGRRlC0U_9s-OxoCEjYQAvD_BwE#estimating-power-requirements-2894486-13
Each neopixel *could* draw up to 60mA, but you can often estimate total usage using a lower number since you usually don't have them all on at the same time.

Awesome thank you very much! That is exactly what i needed!
