There is no lamp, flasher or solenoid associated with the tilt.

Since the TILT causes the start button to turn off, the game would go into ramp attract mode, so actually yes, you will get a series of ramp colors until the ball ejects

Do you plan on using PWM for some of the ramp effects? It seems a lot of the flashes seem out of place (Especially since they're the only LEDs in the game), and a fade would clean that up a lot. A curve similar to the right flasher or rectifier flash would be a nice touch.

Depending on your hardware, something like shiftPWM might work, or hardware PWM/analog pins if you have enough of them left.

Wow great progress on this! My Tron Pro has been sitting in pieces neglected as I took a break. Put me down for one when these go into production...

Beautiful! I'm in for a set!!

Damnit, I see activity in this thread and I get excited..

Haha! We all do. I'm surprised we don't crash the server every time someone posts something to this thread - and now I'm guilty too. Sorry!

Well if you want an update:

The software sits where it was 2 weeks ago (see previous videos) and is undergoing constant play testing. There are some bugs but it's basically stable. I think the features we have added are very fun. Playing the PRO with ramp lighting has totally spoiled me. I think everyone will love this mod and enjoy making new combinations and versions of their own.

In a week or so, we will take a day and fix the bugs and that will be version 1.

Eli will have to update you on his plan for the hardware.

I'm in on this as it looks awesome.

This is like that postcard you get from a relative on vaca in Hawaii "Wish you were here!"

Like the theme, refuse to say 'SO IN ON THIS PREORDER RIGHT NOW' until we hear more info.

edit: meant for the Star Trek thread...for some reason it posted here?

+1
I cannot imagine my Tron without this mod. It makes a great game that much better.
As Frank points out, the bugs are minor and it is very stable in its current state. I'm really looking forward to the day Eli announces these for sale. It'll be bigger than a new pin relase

Big congratulations to Eli and Frank for getting this where it needed to be.

Still hoping you guys add the FO ladder lights during SoS start, similar to end-of-ball bonus. From the last vid where you got to SoS it wasn't in there.

Sure hope it isn't anywhere close to 500... hate to have to sit this mod out

Gonna be 400 minimum from previous posts.

Was that the figure from Eli or was that someones elses estimate? I think I remember seeing that now as well, I'll have to go back and check.

Lol and I'm not suggesting it isn't 'worth' that much, just hoping it's priced within the range of my marital embelzement fund

Hats of to Eli and Frank and all the beta testers.

I chant this whilst rocking back and forth every night before bed.

You've got this game. It plays pinball today for the most part.

The balls roll over things and it goes "ding" when it should. The score goes up too.

But that's not enough...

You think it needs something.

You want pretty little strings of lights. You even want it to go on and off and change color...

You think that will make your machine "special".

You've been waiting like a good little boy for eight months hoping somone will help you...

You don't even know what it will cost, but you are "in".

$500+ for lights. LOL

Some people like mods. I think this one looks like an amazing one, and depending on price, I am in. If you don't like it, don't buy it. Mocking other people because it is something they might like is kind of asinine imo.

Better then 5,000 for lights and 4 drops. NO?

Saying 500 for lights is a bit ignorant. Its more then lights. Spending $220 on an LED kit is lights.

If you were trying to sound like the jackass, done and done. Thanks for crapping on people's hard work and love of pinball.

Can't wait for this mod.

And yes, I'm one of those guys who paid $5000 for a wooden box full of wires, cheap plastic, and blinky bulbs... just like you

I'm not sure about the "Ignored user comment", but I hate having all these options for awesome stuff to spend my money on.

I just ignored my first user!

Iv had that dude ignored for months. Welcome to the club guys!

Ho no every Tron post will be shorter for you.

I ignored him a long time ago, best thing I ever did.

$500+ for lights. LOL

I just picked up a NIB machine and now NEED a set. Please put me down for a set. These are A MUST!

So, that's what replaced your LOTR. Love me some Tron. Also patiently waiting for this kit.

I almost choked laughing so hard.

Thx for the update Eli. Cant wait. I do hope you go in order when shipping starting from page 1

Do we really have to get in line now? If so count me in. I've been lurking for a while, does that count?

Nope. It's gonna be like the $100 HDTVs at Walmart on Black Friday. 2 of them and fistfights!

JK, I really have no idea.

Totally off topic, but my neighbor actually bought a TV from Wal-Mart on Black Friday. Long story short, he paid like $50 for a ticket from a scalper so he could buy the $600 TV. People have to camp out early to get these "right to buy" tickets so he figured it was worth it.

Will the mod work on the new Tron run?

Yes

Very good

Since there was never any "list", it would probably make sense for Eli to create some sort of order page, and post a link to it, and first come first served. Any of us that watch this thread would probably get in quick.

I think the talk of a "list" is really over the top. I would imagine if the first batch sells out quickly then Eli and company would make more. Everyone enjoys making a little money for their time and efforts.

Eli needs to go back through this thread. Make a list of everyone who expressed interest. Pm them and wait for them to pay him in order. Or he could just start selling them and the first to send him the money gets the goods. Which one makes more sense to the seller? Asking him to keep a list is asking a lot.

I guess YOU think YOU are the mastermind of this project and feel that YOU can tell them what they should be doing?

Im sure with the amount of interest here, Eli is going to be making PLENTY.

Bump to get everyone's hopes up again to find out that it's not available yet.

Seriously, praying that somehow this gets out in time for me to slap it on my Tron 2D for use @ TPF.

I'm going to stop looking unless the "unread" counter hits 20 or so. I'm sure that will take about 30 seconds once there's real info.

I don't even have my tron yet....but count me in!!

Will the board that controls the RGB LEDs have a secondary output to control additional RGB LED's?

I ask because I saw that pinballtoppers.com has cool looking speaker light kits that appear to use full color RGB leds. I think it would be cool if the same outputs driving the ramp RGB leds could also control the RGB leds in the speaker light kit so they changed colors with the ramps.

A second set of control ouptuts might also be handy if someone makes a topper that also used RGB leds which would change color in sync with the ramps.
