Yes mate it's Zeb :) - wonderful guy and super quality focused.  I spoke with him recently about acting as an agent so to speak on some of his kits and buffering the whole overseas thing so some of his stuff would be available locally.  I'm still researching the need to see if it's viable though.

Yes, please feel free to ask away, I've spent the last 2 years getting that cabinet to that stage so it would be nice to make some of that work worthwhile :)

Here's a quick demo of MM running on my test cab.

This cabinet has 2 ledwiz boards - Rom Controlled GI, flashers, a shaker motor and two gear motors to simulate ramps lifting, bookcases opening etc.
The backglass animation and lighting is rom controlled as well.  Most of the switches on the playfield also provide force feedback along with the solenoids or flippers, pops and slings.

Along with a friend in Canada, we're currently looking at launching a virtual pinball specific base for electronics here locally in the next couple of months.

It will include all the stuff to get this running including some alternatives to Ledwiz boards and some cool stuff that hasn't been released yet including Artnet DMX
controller boards for animated led strips etc and some good force feedback alternatives to the current super expensive contactors.  As I said, feel free to quiz me on anything related to this stuff.

Dozer.

That canadian wouldnt happen to be Steve (Zeb) would it ;)
I'm about 70% done with my build, will be writing a build log when complete...i think a few people are going to be impressed at this build...

Dozer i might pick your brain a bit down the road if thats ok, more with the feedback config.

Also, not possible to build for under $2k....not even close!


Steve is an absolute top bloke, i bought a lot of his gear for my build, he is nothing but helpful. Can not fault him in the slightest.
And for those that think these things can be built on a budget, think again, two decent TV's alone will get you close to $2k.... don't be delusional!
