Jeff...thanks. I was trying to find that...awesome

Rob...I will totally follow along

Met pro has been awesome and with Total light show and other small add-ons...particularly upgraded speakers, is an awesome pin. Fast, challenging but completely can accomplish goals. Add the music and is one of my favorites and I have had a number of pins. Probably my favorite Stern

Does any one know if the board is still worth the install if code upgraded?

Ashamedly I guess I added more mods than I remembered. Powder coated legs and lockdown bar, led speaker lights, mirror blades, (can’t remember the name but some lightning lights, ride the lightning), etc. I think someday I want to paint my sparky and maybe add topper

wait what? damn.

*checks*

USER ACCOUNT STATUS: DEACTIVATED
This Pinside account is set to deactivated.

It's not. I uninstalled mine and went back to tying my spinners to the picks. Sounds good but definitely sounded better with the sound caller(when it worked).

Anyone here about how far along the walking dead kits are

Timebandit has deactivated his account so would not hold my breath ….

Damn I guess pinstaduim then

Yeah get pinstadiums and enjoy Back when I still had walking dead I waited for the kit for years. It never materialized.

I have a Met pro with this kit already installed. Was wondering if someone who has fitted this has a copy of the instructions..

Thanks

Here is the page from Mike's old website(which has valid YouTube links)...

Mikes videos are here if you need help with the instructions. There were no real written instructions.

Did he have one for the Tron kit installation? I have a Tron TLS kit I bi3ught from him a few years ago I didn't install but want to now. His site is down and could use access to the instructions.

Why did he take his site down too?

Where is Timebandit ?, i really want that total lightshow kit for my Tron

You'll have to hunt around for a second hand one (if you can find one).

Is everything okay with timebandit? This guy was amazing. Helped me recently with my Metallica and made custom software to fix a glitch my light show had. Love this lightshow. It is so so good.

He seemed pretty frustrated with things just before he quit posting here.
Hopefully he just needs some time. He was making very cool things and was good to deal with.

I was thinking of that, but who wants to sell the best ramp light mod on the market, as it seems to be ?!
Hopefully timebandit will come back from the upside down world....

I'm actually worried about the guy. I sent him an email and havent heard back. He was amazing. I sure hope all is well.

I just saw the star trek lighting. It's awesome and exactly what I wanted for my pro. Blue lasers going up when hitting the vengeance and red down on vengeance attacks. Bummed that this project is toast.

Maybe he will come back one day?

He is a huge asset to the community, I sure hope he comes back. Everybody loves him!

I wonder if he wasn't having fun anymore and just threw in the towel? That's what happened to me on the buying/selling side of things. Prices are just so dumb right now I'm focusing mostly on modding the games I have.

Perhaps he passed the torch to somebody else to continue his product?

Pretty sure his professional life took off so he probably just lost the free time/will to work on hobby projects.

As others have said, I just hope he's OK. He was a great guy the few times I needed to interact with him.

Having gone through the thread a few months ago when looking for a light ramp mod for my newly bought Tron, the guy seems to have amazing energy and drive, and looked like a good bloke to boot. It looked like maybe things got a bit too frustrating, all too common when you demand perfection of yourself as he seemed to. And it also looked like he was getting peppered with a fair few requests/demands by the community.

As others have said, hope he's doing ok. Would love to chat to him one day.

So I take it that the Atmel MCU still does not work, regardless of everything you've done, and Atmel did not help you figure it out ? Not nice of them if this is the case.

Or else they have a bad batch and don't want to admit it. Or a timing change.

In any case, thanks for coming back and bring the news to us. I feel for you, the cost of building these 100 boards without any return is a hard blow.

I know you're completely done with it, but... if I may ask... it would be a shame for all the work you have done to go to waste, what about providing the info on a repository somewhere, and someday someone will pick it up and either try to figure it out, or build an alternate version using a similar scheme ? We keep reinventing stuff that were available (like Eli's mod for ex). Won't use Atmel for sure...

Regards

Yeah, that'd definitely be frustrating. No need to feel bad IMO. You gotta do what you gotta do.

Have fun!

Man, I'm just thrilled you're alive and well. 100 dead boards? What happened!?

Details on the previous page, things got bad before this post but went really sideways with them starting here: https://pinside.com/pinball/forum/topic/ramp-lighting-in-your-face-st-pro-brought-to-lifevideo/page/46#post-6177676

Ah welcome back dude, glad to hear you're alive and well. If raging about the boards.

Glad you are alive and well!

Sorry to hear mate. Totally understandable, bloody frustrating thing to happen.
Glad you are doing some work for yourself on the Tommy. Hopefully one day you can get back to making more cool mods. Love my TLS and I really appreciate all the work you put into it and also helping with the code on the rising cross mod.

This was an extremely fun mod to install that was very well documented, it makes a HUGE difference in the lighting mood of the game.

Thanks for posting the install stuff for posterity.

I sent you a PM to see if there was a way to potentially pick up where you left off, or take a crack at root causing your technical road block.

I bought a Tron last year and was told it had the other kit fitted from the US, anyway I got it home looked in the backbox and there was a big red board in there!!! Couldn’t believe my luck

I'd be curious as well

I work in the electronic industry, and would do my best to help and provide guidance to a customer should they encounter such an issue in the field. Can't understand why neither Marvell nor the board manufacturer took their responsibility and engaged to actively resolve. I mean, there "are" functional boards out there, so it has to be either a manufacturing defect, or a borderline signal which is causing the failure on some boards, in either case the suppliers should have helped. I'm quite baffled here.

Thank you Timebandit for your help. I really appreciate it.

I have the Total light show installed on a Refinery Edition Metallica Pro. Its it amazing how great it looks. It interacts with Spinners that were never part of the a Metallica Pro. The Metallica is listed in the Market.

Mike (Timebandit). Hope all is alive and well. We are all hopeful for the return of the total light show boards. Please don't give up. The community needs you. +1 as to my needs for a Tron total light show kit. Hopefully they keep coming.

I've got a Metallica kit that I never got around to installing. If someone is interested, PM me...

Jaz

FYI, had a lot of interest and this is currently spoken for...
Jaz

Is the latest code (and revisions) for the Met. kit archived on the web (or in this thread) somewhere? I'm certain I'm missing the last release.

Looks like archive.org still has most of his site saved including the downloads:

https://web.archive.org/web/20210225043808/https://redshiftled.com.au/Downloads.php

Great, it also has the upgrade procedures on there. I printed that out just in case...

I have a 2015 total lightshow i installed. I was told it was before the led was added to the orogram installed it. It did work but my lower right GI would not come on for anything. I traced it back to the GI interceptor ,so long story shirt got aggraveted and uninstalled it. IF anyone wants to buy it and try it out on theres PM me

And i bought it from a guy who bought it in 2015 was never opened till i just installed it last weekend

Anyone that have an extra Tron lightshow lying and are willing to sell it, please PM me
Cheers

Hello Mike,
Your mod is amazing. I like it a lot more than the ELI kit I have seen videos of.

I sent you a private message, hoping it gets to you!

Thank you
Juan

Mike TimeBandit is wanting input on the long term reliability of his Total Lightshow on another thread, if some of you could weigh in. I’ve wanted his Tron lightshow for years, and also admired his custom drop targets. However, he will only consider doing this depending on the reliability.
