Quoted from Red_Devils:As stated above the original version will not fit the Pinball Brothers machine. The one we are doing will have a completely different way of connecting to the machine, we have created a new PCB board to control all of the effects including the beacons, all to be interactive with the machine.
So, if your PCB board has functionality to control the effects, to include the Beacons...what impact, if any, will your PCB board have on the factory installed Beacons on the LV? I am assuming PB has their own functionality to control the LV Beacons...will you override it, enhance it or your mod will not affect the Beacons on the LV?
Quoted from Red_Devils:Without having an actual LV machine to test on, we have no clue how PB are activating their beacons. Having said that if you get our mod with the beacons they are directly hooked to our PCB board and will be activated from there. If you only get the apron only then PB beacons will be activated from their connections. EightBallTexas is on one of the early LV's so we will be able to test when his arrives and then we will be able to show you how it will work on an actual LV.
Sounds good, I appreciate the response...I am already in for the Apron, I was just curious since you mentioned the Beacon functionality.
Quoted from Royale-W-Cheese:I might sell my little beacons as I like the bigger ones..LOL.
What you guys think in these crazy times??? 1k-2k? HAHA
...I actually prefer the low profile Beacons. It will be nice when they start shipping the LVs...really curious/anxious to see how this apron mod enhances it...along with any potential upgrades you folks may be inspired to consider once you have time to "play" around with it.

Quoted from DoorCounty:I see some Aprons have text below ALIEN that says Limited Edition. Who gets this version?
As I understand it, none of them have "Limited Edition". The one you see in the photos is a sample Heighway LE Apron, it was used to test/create/develop the mod.
Quoted from brado426:It is a Windows application. You just need to unzip it and install it on a Windows computer.
Thanks for the info...my PC is upstairs, and my Alien is in the basement...all that came in the box was a sheet with 2 squars printed on it, the install video link and the software link...the only device that I have to scan the squars is my phone...is there an associated website? I tried to copy the URL when I scanned the squar with my phone and e-mail it to my PC...I still couldn't get it to run. Maybe I am making more difficult than it is...I will keep messing with it.
Quoted from Baggerman:Whn you download the file it is compressed.. you should extract to downloads then run setup.
Got it...needed to download some software. Thanks for the nudge. It was actually the virus protection causing me the issue...once past that I was able to get to the needed software prompt.

Quoted from brado426:I'm not clear at all what you're doing there... You shouldn't be plugging any RJ45 related to the apron into any playfield board. That will definitely cause problems if that's what you're doing. Don't you have the instructions that we sent out with the unit? RJ45 for AUX 8 goes to Alien Annunciator Port 8. RJ45 for AUX 1 goes to Alien Annunciator Port 1. If any RJ45 cable from the mod is going to any playfield board or any other part of the original hardware, that is a major problem.
The only instructions I received with my unit was piece of paper with a link to a YouTube video...and some of that video was a bit unclear...I think the video should have been separated into those with beacons and those without. I can figure it out easy enough but for some, maybe not.
