    If you boot up the machine,the lcd's come on like a minute later,chinese letters appear in the small lcd...
    But you can push start and play a game while the displays are still off.
    That kind of stuff...

    Love all this pinball development! It is looking like the switch / driver / led counts are probably getting closer to something we can count up. We talked about starting with one of the new FAST Starter Bundles and I posted them online in our store last night.

    https://squareup.com/store/fast-pinball-llc/item/fast-starter-bundle-power

    This would get you started and then we can add in additional FAST I/O boards that would get you the number of switches and drivers you will need for the complete game. The FAST Starter Bundle + Power includes control of 256 RGB LEDs and 50 of the RGB LEDs themselves, 40 direct input switches and 12 drivers. You can mix and match any voltages you want across those 8 drivers. You are not restricted to the entire board being at the same voltage.

    Counting up from there in FAST I/O boards would be in these increments:

    FAST I/O 3208 : 32 Direct Input Switches and 8 Drivers
    FAST I/O 1616 : 16 Direct Input Switches and 16 Drivers
    FAST I/O 0804 : 8 Direct Input Switches and 4 Drivers

    I have more options to add to the store, including modifiers for including all the connectors and pins necessary.

    Have a kick ass pinball friday!

    So the ufo mech installation continues!
    The gear bushing is a bit short,so we need to change that..

    #1558 6 years ago

    I guess i'll just shorten the bracket a bit...the ufo has to clear the sewer pipes behind the mansion...super tight clearance.
    So it has to fly higher than back in the day when it was a helicopter in rescue 911

    looking forward to seeing your weekly build adventure but I cringe every time you get that angle grinder out.

    Fitted the ufo on the rescue 911 mech,the thing moves smooth as silk

    #1578 6 years ago

    Allright,time to rip out the rescue 911 playfield,there is important parts on there to complete the ufo mech assembly

    This part is where you shoot the ball and the heli picks it up.
    Coil , guides and bunch of optos with brackets.
    But that is stuff for next week!

    Have an awesome weekend!
    Greetings from the pinball amigos

    #1581 6 years ago

    Productive as always
    Cheers!

    #1582 6 years ago

    So will there be something hiding the UFO, like an object, or will it just be tucked back there?

    Awesome work guys.

    Thanks dude!

    Quoted from CobraClutch:

    Awesome work guys.

    Still debating that actually...if we make it darkish back there,you won't really notice it till the ufo's leds pop on and it starts smoking.
    We maybe make the playfield black out before that happens too.
    The mansion disappears before the ufo starts moving,that is the part i like a lot about this crazy plan.

    #1584 6 years ago

    You guys may just be the coolest dudes on the planet.

    #1585 6 years ago

    Another Aussie on board here with a crazy Dutch surname , loving the build , no guard no the only way to grind , keep up the good work

    A lot of serious pinheads in australia right?!
    Supercool you enjoy our build!
    Thanks mate!

    #1587 6 years ago

    Great build - supercool. Look forwards to seeing your progress every Friday.
    Not cool to using WhatsApp when driving - would hate for you to not make it to the build - take care.

    Yeah...safety should become our nr.1 priority,you are right.

    #1589 6 years ago

    I get more orders from Australian pinheads than Europe... More hardcore star trek fans in aus, i think.

    Have and update on the toxic swap i was going to post yesterday... But stle colordots... And throwing a belt in the truck last night ruined those plans

    #1590 6 years ago

    This is shaping up to be a bigger task than Minions. But I have confidence you are all up for the challenge.
    Looking great Bas Mic And Dick

    #1591 6 years ago

    Amigos,
    Here's is the nearly complete PCB design for Toxic Swamp.
    Toxic SwampToxic Swamp

    The larger board in the middle is the main board you'd connect to 6.3VAC GI.
    The other boards are made to snap off the main board and position where you'd like.

    The lower 4 boards (Jx1,2) are interchangeable. LED 4,5 are UV Purple LEDs to light your GITD Titan Rubbers.
    LED 2,3,6,7,8,9 are all superbright green LEDs running at 150mA. LED1 on the main board is the candle flicker.
    LED 1,2,3 are required to be used for the other boards to be functional. You can you use as many of the other boards as you want to get the intended effect.

    Always wire a J connector to a P connector. Meaning:
    JP2 always connect to PP2. JN2 always connects to PN2 ect.
    There will be no connectors on the board as I'm assuming you are going to want to direct wire once you figure out how to install. If you want connectors; just let me know.

    R18 and R19 control the brightness of the "candle flicker" effect on the super green LEDs.
    R16 and R17 control the brightness of the flash effect on LED8 & 9.

    The main board measures approximately:
    1.1 x 2.4inches

    The LED boards measure approx:
    0.85 x 0.49 inches

    Each board has two mounting holes.

    This is great John,no connectors indeed...connectors suck cause they use up precious real estate
    It is brilliant like so,the toxic swamp is gonna be awesome!
    PM us what we owe u by the way.
    Looks like a lot of effort!

    Yeah,monumental task for sure.
    But this machine is gonna be supercool.

    #1594 6 years ago

    I'll work on the bom and pcb gerbers and let you know.

    #1595 6 years ago

    Drank too much beer on a weekday and watched old Married with Children episodes last night. (yeah that translated in having kind of a tough day today )
    Almost pissed myself when Al opens this great videogame vs pinball monologue.
    Taped it and uploaded cause i wanted to share it with you guys.
    Cheers!

    #1596 6 years ago

    Oh and when you are at it,check this epic SNL sketch.
    It starts kinda boring,trust me,watch it till the end
