Great table! Having a bit of trouble with controller.vbs. I uncommented the b2s lines in the top of the script to activate the backglass, but I get a “Cannot Open Controller.vbs” message, which delays the start of the table loading. Once I click OK on the pop up, the table loads, along with backglass, and the DOF works for my cabinet. Any ideas…[Read more]

Excellent work on this table! Noticed a strange glitch that didn’t affect gameplay. I see a thin line past the flippers, sort of like a spaced outline, from lights and the ball shadow, but most evidently on the flippers. They move when the flippers do as well. Any idea what I can change in the editor? Thanks!

Hi Zeb and Teahaus,

So I redid the plunger setup, took the shell off of the slider block, put the block correctly on the potentiometer, attached the e-clip to the plunger shaft, pulled back the spring, and fit on the slider block shell. Problem I think is the shell doesn’t really have room to accommodate the e-clip. It connects but doesn’t sit…[Read more]

Okay I realize what I did wrong with the plunger. I didn’t even realize the block had a removable shell to encase the plunger’s e-clip. But after seeing the photos clearly and your advice Zeb and Teahaus, its an easy fix! Now all I gotta do is finish work today to get home and fix it. Thanks!

New pics are coming. Work is getting in the way and weekends are reserved for my 2 year old so I’m lucky if I get at least two to three hours a week to play lol. Stay tuned!

Zeb,

im a bit confused by your description. The pics on your site weren’t detailed and I assumed the plunger was on correctly. I pushed the plunger through the block, e-clipped it and the rubber top covers it. Can you provide an illustration or a closeup photo of what it should look like? Thanks for a great system!

Full update!

Its been a few days since I posted because long nights of wiring, coffee and playing have kept me from taking pictures. Here goes….

The rats nest for play buttons. I didn’t tidy this yet because I’m using microswitches temporarily until my leaf switches come in.

Removed the strobe control box that came with the lights and directly hooked it up to Sainsmart relay. The chattering is still there, but I notice it when the light has to “strobe” and not “flash”. I assume this is just the relay firing on and off rapidly to create the strobe. So it all sounds good =)

Update. Figured out that the Combo option on the DOF Config tool was the issue. I was attempting to put all four PF Back options on the two speaker lights, causing nothing to happen. I set it to PF Back Flashers and boom it works. Only problem was that the right speaker was completely defective and only lit two lights, the left one works…[Read more]

Okay I found the culprit for the chatter. The Sainsmart is making the noise when my strobe goes off. The strobe I got from autozone and it has a connector box that dials up the speed of the flash and the style. Two little strobes are attached to this box. I assume don’t connect the box and go straight to the lights?

Thanks for the suggestion but that didnt work. Is there a test program I can use to light the LEDs just to make sure theyre hooked up right?

Got it working. Took a minute but finally got some great effects. Didn’t realize had to jump pins 15 & 16 on the Teensy.

Testing confirms intensity makes the fan go now. Still getting a bit of chattering which I discovered is not from the contactor per se, but rather the Sainsmart board.

TerryRed I have diodes on all mechanical parts with all the stripes going in the positive direction as per the Pinscape guide.

I’m going to try a different relay to see if i…[Read more]
