Wow ! This is amazing... after the holidays daze I will be placing an order for sure..... great job!

Your about to start something big with this. I'm liking the screen where the instruction card is. This could be a mod that replaces all of those card slots..i mean to have the shots explained on that would be awesome...great work!

Quoted from neverahighscore:

Something like this? I agree with you after installing this. So easy to see and understand all the shots. Very cool looking also.

Yes.. that is great! That makes since to have on I'd say a decent list of machines

Quoted from flynnsbit:

CODE:
1-4 player game code is working really well. It's neat to see the base video mode that the player is running follow the player through their balls. That was more work than I thought.
BACKBOX LCD:
Okay now that the Tron code feels complete I'm finishing the kits for the backbox and just tweaking some things I didn't like. I changed the threaded rods from 3" to 4" to give some extra room to get the LCD closer to the glass to remove the light bleed. I am happy with it. The Artwork when printed will need a black border to hide any shadows from the weather striping around the side. I created this border which should take care of the shadows.
APRON:
Also, worked more on the texture for the 3d printed plastic bezel that goes around the Around the Apron LCD. That molded texture on the apron is REALLY hard to duplicate. This is as close as I am going to get and I feel like absolutely no one except me would be this picky. The good news is this is really easy to do, print, rattle can spray paint, and dry.
Happy Sunday.

Any idea of cost for this mod yet?

Quoted from flynnsbit:

For the Apron? Probably be two versions:
You can obviously make these yourself and order the parts from Adafruit. I am just selling them to fund R&D into other pinball projects so I can keep doing this. If you have a 3d printer, a DIY pinball attitude, feel free to hit me up and I will share.
For those that want this done and plug and play:
Base version: I am hovering around $190 right now. LCD and a Pi with no integration, but you can put any video or set of images on the sdcard and it will cycle through them. These take me about an hour to make each one. If the displays panels I ordered from China work then that will lower the cost down by $20.
Deluxe: I can also do the deluxe version with the Tron Integration, but I haven't tested all of that yet as there is a resolution difference between the 4.3 and 5 inch displays. That could force me to re-edit all the videos into that resolution... That price is basically the base kit + this LCD only so you remove the cost of the extra pi PC, power, sdcard, etc.
Long short of it, I am getting there and trying not to gouge the pinball community. Availability will be after the backbox people start rolling. I've got to get that done first.

Yes the apron.. thx
Very interesting thread and mod you have going!

Quoted from Profgrif:

I have the small LCD where the recognizer goes and all I can say is WOW!!! I bought this early and have been beta testing with Flynnsbit getting software going and if anyone out there has a Tron this is a must have!!! Makes the game so much more interactive!!!! I love this!!!

So how do you feel about the apron screen? I mean it should run the same program as the recognizer lcd correct? I'm kinda torn between those 2 spots sand how they will interact while playing...

So I'm wanting the total light mod and the lcd recognizer you have... Will these work together with no power draw issues?

#158 6 years ago
Quoted from flynnsbit:

Yup, works with native stern CPU or the TLS, no power issues in my machine and I probably have more mods running on the 12v and 5v rails than anyone else.
