Hey Guys and Gals,<\/p>\n

I know it has been a while since the last update, but I am making awesome progress on the machine. \u00a0Not too much to talk about, but I have a bunch of pictures to show all the progress. \u00a0Check it out!<\/p>\n

Circuit boards are here and I got a chance to populate and mount some of them pretty quickly:<\/p>\n

This is the 3×3 matrix PCB with direct PD-LED input headers. \u00a0Less wires = good.<\/p>\n

\"20160224_191313\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is the Bonus LED PCB with the PD-LED piggyback. \u00a0I was just test fitting in this picture.<\/p>\n

\"20160224_213554\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The other boards turned out great!<\/p>\n

\"20160225_175518\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Starting to mount the custom PCBs to the bottom of the playfield.<\/p>\n

\"20160305_125153\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Deciding on the exact spinner placement. \u00a0This position won.<\/p>\n

\"20160304_203925<\/a><\/p>\n

3D Printing the shooter lane skip ramp that allows the ball to enter the orbit on the right side.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"20160305_130118\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hard to see, but the skip ramp is mounted and works great.<\/p>\n

\"20160305_172327\"<\/a><\/p>\n

More progress on populating and mounting some of the custom PCBs.<\/p>\n

\"20160305_182751\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Assembled bonus LED PCB with PD-LED piggyback. \u00a0Very cool looking.<\/p>\n

\"20160306_121524\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is that same board mounted between the slingshots.<\/p>\n

\"20160306_122701\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Every pinball machine from the 80’s needs a backglass insert panel. \u00a0I drew this one up to hold 4 LED numeric displays and my LCD.<\/p>\n

\"20160306_124522\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Here is a photo of the insert panel mounted in the backbox.<\/p>\n

\"20160306_141305\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Just a close-up of my single pop bumper. \u00a0This is a DE style pop bumper with a black base.<\/p>\n

\"20160307_190749\"<\/a><\/p>\n

LCD has been mounted!<\/p>\n

\"20160306_180702\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Computer has been mounted and powered up… \u00a0Only problem is the computer that I was planning on using would not POST. \u00a0The motherboard ended up being toast, so I “recycled” it and used a Zotac C Series.<\/p>\n

\"20160308_203855\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Test fitting the Bally LED displays. \u00a0They fit and look great!<\/p>\n

\"20160316_175013\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Diodes? \u00a0I have no need for you!<\/p>\n

\"20160320_105327\"<\/a><\/p>\n

First boot of the PD-LED and the bonus LED assembly. \u00a0I also wired in 2 GI lights to the left just to try them out. \u00a0They ended up not being as bright as anticipated, but I compensated for that by putting them EVERYWHERE.<\/p>\n

\"20160320_144341\"<\/a><\/p>\n

There is always going to be issues when using bulk electronics. \u00a0In this case, I had the blue channel burn out on one of the Piranha LEDs. \u00a0All good though, they are cheap and I will be able to repair it easily.<\/p>\n

\"20160320_180455\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Now for the finale. \u00a0This is the latest picture of the bottom side of my playfield in full resolution. \u00a0I have successfully wired up 32 of my switches. \u00a0I have a bunch more, but will hammer through that pretty quickly. \u00a0I can then focus on getting all the LEDs wired up and do a full LED test.<\/p>\n

\"20160320_180542\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Hope you enjoyed the update. \u00a0Stay tuned for more.<\/p>\n
