You are correct sir, not sure what I was thinking of at the time (guess I need to proofread my posts...lol)

 

The ledwiz is good for 500ma per output to a maximum of 2.5 watts per chip.

 

The shaker draws slightly more than one amp at startup so it's well over that limit either way.

Take my money! :-)

How much is shipping to Denmark?

I was thinking about having it on top of the backbox, how long will the wires be? (Must people have them down with the playfield, maybe that better?)

I can do it but I'd have to order them in. I can do the bar up and you can mount the leds if you like.

Will you have a package with your board, shaker/gear and led setup?

Everything is already priced at a bare minimum (if you knew how little I actually made off this you'd wonder why I do it...I know I do sometimes...:))

 

That being said, it is cheaper for those in N. America to order as a package when it comes to shipping (the post office really gouges on the led bars due to their length).

I ment it as more of a convience thing not a price issue. I own an electronics company and know exactly how little you are making on small batch custom orders. I just think it would be awesome to be able to paypal someone for a turn key forced feedback package. IE. booster board, ledwiz, shaker, gear, nocker, contactors, led bar ect.. Seems like you have most of that avail or in the works anyway. It would be worth it to some of us to save the time in research, shopping and seperate shipping to pay someone a little extra for their efforts.

I get what you're saying, I just don't necessarily see the logic in paying the extra on the shipping for the ledwiz (winds up being $60.00 shipped to me, waits in customs only to be turned back around at extra shipping cost to wait in customs crossing into the States again....:))

 

The balance of it....working on it....:D

Didn't think about the customs thing. I guess everything but the ledwiz would still be an awesome package. Thanks for all you hard work in further developing this great hobby.

You know for as many tables as I've played in the last week since I finished my cab, I have not heard the gear motor. I certainly have heard the shaker :). Is there a good table to test this out on? Or better yet, is their a test routine on one of the tables to test it?

Z

Update: I loaded up Red & Ted and Funhouse and fired off the test routines and in all cases (dozer, Ted, red, etc) the shaker fires. How do I test the gear now?

You should get a gear motor on the medieval madness draw bridge opening.
