I used an Attwood 3000 inline blower fan. Since alot of the events are quick bursts of air, you need something that can push alot of air very quickly to get the right effect. Some people have a simple fan on top of their cabinet. Grand Prix and Nascar - quick burst of air for each lap The Getaway - quick burst of air for each loop Medieval Madness - catapult launch, castle exploding It can be long gusts of wind like in Twister and Whirlwind, or a quick burst of air during certain events. Visual Pinball currently supports up to almost 30 tables that utilize a blower fan. I don't have an H-bridge or anything else that would allow me to use PWM right now.maybe if I get a shaker down the line.Īlso.we just found out that we have bed bugs in the house.AAAAAAAH! We think my son brought them back from his grade 8 school graduation trip! So now my progress is slowed down considerably, cause we have to purge the house and live in hell for a month or so (and its going to cost alot)Īfter seeing blower fans on other pinball cabinets, I knew I was going to have one in my cabinet. I also would like a simple way to adjust the voltage going to the fan.12V is pretty loud.5V is too slow.so maybe just a simple way to get in between with some kind of pot / switch. Or maybe I might still mount it on top of the cabinet.or behind the cabinet blowing up through a hose / vent at the top of the cabinet with a finished topper. (I removed my coin door mech as I don't use it and I have only one coin slot) I was going to have it blow out through the coin eject hole with some kind of upward scoop). I'm definitely considering mounting it inside (like randr did), as it fits perfectly in that spot before my coin door. which gets me wondering on where to mount it! The noise is going to be better when used with a hose. Man it works great, but sure is loud! Very cool the way different tables make use of it. Since I don't have 10 solenoids, I can just combine the rear center and the middle center for now. I also have my FIRE button working on the arcade control panel, and I have it combined with the launch button in DOF, since you need to use the launch button to "FIRE" in VP anyways.ĭOF is pretty damn impressive! Some amazing work done by swisslizard and arngrim! I have the left and outer-left flashers in my left speaker hole, and the right flashers in the right speaker hole, and the center on the led strip for now. Here's my mockup with everything except for solenoids connected (no beacons, and a small test fan in the pic).but I can still see the relays working to confirm they will work. I'll still have plenty of room for future stuff, even if I need to stack boards.

The Teensy for addressable leds will be on my PC board. It may not be the prettiest, but it allows me access to everything while having all outputs of the led-wiz fused, and having the led / strobe output closer to where they will be to accommodate the limited rgb wiring I have.
Here's the board before it's put into the cabinet. I even setup a kill switch for the 12v going to the sainsmart relay board and anything mechanical for a "night mode", while still allowing for 12v for anything else light related. (I don't know when a shaker or gear motor will happen.)Įven got it all working in the cab with a mock-up via DOF which is working great. One of my solenoids is broken, so it's 9 only for now.
So I've been making great progress so far.
