    Luckydogg's virtual pin project

    Well I've done lots of reading... Originally I bought my first pin (f14) to gut into a virtual pin, but fell in love and kept it. From there I ballooned to 4 pins within 6 months. Currently only have one pin, but thought this was a good time to resurrect the dream of a multipin. I found a beat...

    Re: VP project. Need metal cabinet parts. I found a decent base cabinet. With side rails, glass, lockdown bar and coin door. I'm still looking for a set of legs. Even if there old and beaten up.

    Pretty cool idea for a phone

    Or it could be the exact opposite, to up your iPhone4, you just need to buy a new processor block, new wifi block, new Bluetooth block ect. I think in the long run company's could make more for each phone with all the options that are possible. Second, there's many cell repair places that...

    good first machine

    The only compare I have is playing BOP (bride of pinbot) on pinball arcade, and the video game on my iPad is way easier then the real cabinet.

    MiniPinball. iPad cabinet for pinball arcade.

    Ok this is starting to get good. I've got a working tilt sensor and its pretty good. I took a pinball tilt plumb bob and mounted that in a semi circle of 3 leaf switches. This was just a proof of concept mock up. I used alligator clips to connect the icade's microswitches, so that I could...

    TOP THREE PINS on your Wantlist!

    In high school the local arcade had Whitewater, Fish Tales, Tee'd off, and World Cup94. Back then I was just whacking the balls around. Jump forward more then 10 years and I get back into pinball, through mame and VP. After I bought my first game (f14) I began to think about the old...

    MiniPinball. iPad cabinet for pinball arcade.

    Thanks. It will look way better with the right graphics. There's still a lot to clean it up and give it an authentic look. I need something for the DMD area too. I have a raspberry pi, thought that could be reall cool. I just wish I had the skill to program an actual display for the backglass...

    MiniPinball. iPad cabinet for pinball arcade.

    The side rails are going to be 3/4" aluminum, (currently 1"). The lockdown bar was bought used online ($20) and cut in the middle, then JB welded back together. Since it won't be removable I'm not worried that it will break. The legs are the same 1" aluminum. It's 12" off the ground, so you...

    MiniPinball. iPad cabinet for pinball arcade.

    I filled the backbox with a speaker bar for a laptop that runs off of USB power. I found it at one of the local surplus stores for $15. Then i mounted a board with 4 light sockets for the translight. I also put a light socket in the top of the backbox, with a colour changing led as a cheesy...

    Calculating resistor value? Cointaker led's

    Thanks. They do work with 3 x 1.5V battery holder, and they do seem dim. I thought they were 5V, not 6.3V, so that explanes it. I do have them in parallel, and plan to put in a switch. Thanks. I might be able to get this working today.

    MiniPinball. iPad cabinet for pinball arcade.

    Ya, I've seen that one. It was totally my inspiration. ...just sometimes ya feel like you could do a better job. I'd really like to be able to actually nudge the cabinet and have the iPad nudge in game; instead of pushing a button to nudge. I think I can do a nicer job on the lockdown bar, and...

    Calculating resistor value? Cointaker led's

    For my MiniPinball cabinet I want to put 5 cointaker superbright LEDs in the backbox and run them off of 3 AA batteries. Like this What's the right way of doing this? I'm not an electrical expert, but I can solder a thing or two. Would I be good with a 220ohm resister, or do I even need one...
