I wanted to share my latest creation that I think the modding community could use. I know when I made my functioning JP gate mod there was nothing affordable on the market that I could use to integrate my mod into the game.

The T.I.L.T. Mods (Tapping Illuminated Lamps to Trigger Mods) board gives you a variety of outputs all from one input. See the attached data sheet for details on how it works.

The data sheet below is for the Deluxe board, but I will also have 2 basic models. One will turn a steady input to a flashing output (Basic S2F) and the other model will turn a flashing input into a steady output (Basic F2S).

Last but not least, I have a version (Servo Controller Board) that can control two servos (programmable) along with 2 outputs (1 of them programmable).

Please give me some feedback.

I'm also trying to gauge interest so please take the poll.

STATUS UPDATE:
Pricing will be as follows:
- Servo Controller Board $39.99 (Available Now)
- Deluxe Board $19.99 (Available Now)
- Basic S2F $12.99 (Available Now)
- Basic F2S $10.99 (Available now)

Boards are available to purchase on www.timspinballmods.com

Here's a video explaining how it works.

I'm shooting for a target MSRP price of less than $18 for the deluxe and I'll be offering volume discounts. How much less will depend on interest/volume. Basic boards will be less than that.

Just finished stuffing and testing the final version of the Programmable Servo Controller board.

To give you an idea of what it's capable of, this is the brains behind the JP functioning gate mod. It opens and closes 2 servos with programmable speeds and positions, turns on a spotlight LED and a strip LED and also runs the torch LEDs all triggered by one lamp above the original plastic gate.

The T.I.L.T. Mod board allowed my mod to be triggered during bone busting mode and victory lap mode.

Watch the video to see it in action.

Another mod using the servo controller version of the T.I.L.T. mods board. The whole mod is being triggered from a flashing lamp (Insanity Falls Lamp) but you'll notice that the white LED lighting up the raft is on the whole time it's being triggered. Since the T.I.L.T. Mods board is programmable I could make the servo move in a different pattern as well as the blue light could be made to be on steady instead of flashing when the mod is triggered.

I've never tried it on a Spike system but it should work as long as the lamps still works off 5-6V AC or DC.

I have some base code written but you would need to tweak it based on what you want the servos and the programmable output to do. I'll put together a tutorial video at some point.

Yes, the nc/c/no section can be used to trigger whatever voltage device you'd like exactly the way you described.

One use would be if your 5V lamp is flashing but you are trying to drive a motor. Normally the motor would spin in short pulses every time the light flashes. With this board you could have the motor spin at a constant rate the entire time the light is flashing (i.e in a mode).

Another use would be if the light you're hooking up to is solid when it comes on but you want the light in your mod to flash (i.e. a scoop light that is tied to an insert that doesn't normally flash now flashes indicating it's a shot you should be aiming for)

Same if the light is flashing but you want the light in your mod to stay on steady.

I have a few distributors interested but need to work out final details. Anyone who is interested in trying one out before these are publicly available, send me a PM.

Duplicate post. I was trying to edit the above post.

The clicking noise is the relay for the dry contacts firing. The dry contacts can be set to flash or stay on solid with a jumper setting. I have them set to flash in the video to drive the red/blue "siren" leds. If you set to solid you won't hear the noise.

In regards to price, I want them to be inexpensive enough that mod designers will include them in their designs. I appreciate the fact that you would pay more but I'm not looking to get rich doing this. I just want to provide a nice solution to the hobby.

Thank you everyone for the incredible response! Certain boards are sold out for now (see post #26) but will be available soon.

Thanks RGB635! I think that's the best way to describe it. These boards are so simple to use but describing what they can do can be complex to some, especially when it comes to the flexibility and variety of functions they can perform. If you're not quite sure what they do feel free to send me a PM or call me 303-589-3759.

Overview of the Basic S2F board. This board will convert a solid voltage/lamp into a pulsing voltage that you can use to power LEDs, motors, shaker motors, solenoids or whatever you'd like. It comes with one pulsing output and one pulsing dry contact that you can use to power 12V devices or just about any voltage your mod requires. Now back in stock. $12.99

Thanks. I'm getting the steady 12VDC for my control board from the test points on the power supply and 6VAC from the light above the scoop. I hear what you're saying and agree that things can be challenging for the mod buyers but it's up to us, the mod designers, to make it easy for them to connect. All my mods come with detailed step by step instructions with lots of photos that makes it easy for the end user to connect. Since every game, and the connection points you'll want to tie into will be different for every mod you design I can't make it plug and play for everything. I'd be more than happy to help you or any other mod designers out when it comes to how to integrate the T.I.L.T. mods boards. Just send me a PM or give me a call.

Thanks CaptianNeo!
