    Amigos,
    White PCBs ordered from SeeedStudio for around $18USD for the Toxic Swamp.

    It'll be shipping via the slow boat from china (I assume); which is quoted 15-30days on top of a 5-9day production time. So I wouldn't expect them for at least a month.

    No problem,the pin won't be ready within that time frame!hahaha
    Do you need my adress?
    Do i need to paypal you some money?
    Let me know John,excellent!

    #1657 6 years ago

    Do you need any other boards for your custom build? We produced some boards (most also at seeed - they rock) which work with FAST or P-Roc. Usually you get a lot of those (at least 10 but often much more because of panelization). What I can offer you:

    - Opto sender board. Current limiting resistor + connector for up to 8 optos. Work with any voltage (just use the correct resistors).
    - Opto receiver board. Connector to a FAST/P3-Roc input bank and carries 8 connectors for opto receivers. Can also be used for switches if you want separate connectors.
    - Playfield connector board. Sits below the playfield. Distributes 5V for all WS2811/WS2812 (up to 14A) and can carry a Fadecandy for WS2812 (you might alternatively use the FAST LED controller). Distributes HV (48V or 80V) to the nodes. 2x2 RJ45 passthrough connectors for any data bus (either the FAST bus or the P3-Roc bus). Plus LEDs for voltage detection.

    Let me know and I will give them somebody to bring them to DPO and hand them over to you.

    I got the Amigos covered for now... When the boards are tested and ready; then I'll ask for just the costs to cover materials + shipping. My time/labor is free to you guys for doing something awesome. IIRC, the LEDs are probably the second most expensive item in the BOM... I think they are around 1.50 each.

    Yeah absolutely but we are in doodling phase so sadly no clue at the moment what we need?

    This is the marked spot where the pole comes through the playfield

    IMG_9873 (resized).JPGIMG_9873 (resized).JPG

    #1671 6 years ago

    IMG_9874 (resized).JPGIMG_9874 (resized).JPG

    #1672 6 years ago

    Damn...we raised the heli mech to clear things on the playfield,the pole is way too short now

    IMG_9875 (resized).JPGIMG_9875 (resized).JPG

    #1673 6 years ago

    We need a piece of grill mesh to extend it and then look at the mech adjustment...

    Look at that focus!

    IMG_9877 (resized).JPGIMG_9877 (resized).JPG

    I searched for the safety goggles tonight...honestly couldn't find them

    Checking with the old rescue 911 playfield,we gained 2.8 cm!
    Excellent!

    Quoted from Atari_Daze:

    That would be great for me,i'll never take them out...

    #1689 6 years ago

    Let's drill !!!!

    IMG_9902 (resized).JPGIMG_9902 (resized).JPG

    #1690 6 years ago

    I measured the triangle hole on rescue 911...if we drill a smaller hole at 7,5 cm...we can jigsaw the rest out.

    Fuck! Hole is on the wrong side,you easily make that mistake when a playfield is up(right? ).
    It is no issue,the false whole gets covered by a coil assy..

    IMG_9910 (resized).JPGIMG_9910 (resized).JPG

    IMG_9911 (resized).JPGIMG_9911 (resized).JPG

    #1692 6 years ago

    Okay,we made a hole on the other side...lay down some pencil lines and cut the triangle.

    IMG_9912 (resized).JPGIMG_9912 (resized).JPG

    IMG_9913 (resized).JPGIMG_9913 (resized).JPG

    I would still pop a dowel rod into the hole to cover the mistake.. Wait I mean find a wooden closet rod and cut a piece off that. If it doesn't fit, just drill the hole bigger

    #1695 6 years ago

    So now this pole is installed,we need to extend the mech's arm by 3 cm

    #1696 6 years ago

    nice work guys, love the progress and danger....

    will the side rail clear the hole or will need to customise the side rail?

    #1697 6 years ago

    also I must say I admire your approach but admit I am a little more anal (mechanical engineer - pin-gineer in me though you uses are definite "Pin-gineers with your creative approach to game design) so took the plunge and committed to a CNC this morning - perfect playfield size

    Quoted from pinballrockstar:

    Nows your chance to drop the playfield on his head. You know it's going to happen so might as well get it out of the way before all the stuff is on the bottom.
