I built this in the Spring of 2014 and recently added the addressable LEDs and the original mechanical Hardware...

The cabinet I use to make the virtual pinball was from a Game Called wild fyre ( Stern 1978).. I took all the Mechanical/Solenoids parts ( (2)Flippers , (3)Pop bumpers , (2)Slingshots , (2)Kick-out holes , (1)4-bank drop targets , (1)3-bank drop targets) and put them back in the cabinet and change the DOF on each game to match the mechanisms and that is very time consuming but fun... As you can see in the pictures (Video) I took three of the bumpers and put them at the Back of the monitor so when the bumpers in the game are activated so are the bumpers at the Back...

+ I added it - A Plunger, 2-strobes, 2-beacons, RGB's Under and Addressables on side, Back & Speaker

Update -- Plus a Willians 3 chime unit, knocker, 3 extra bumpers, 6" Bell, shaker motor,  Left & Right Kick back and one for the auto fire

+ Full surround sound    http://vpuniverse.co...t&comment=36493

Addressable Rgb's

The Teensy has 8 Physical ports And on the DOF website you have 512 software ports

On the Teensy I used one physical port for each section of lights  - Another words one port for each of the side strips and one port for the back set up (Matrix)

+ one for each Speaker

The inside of the Cabinet measures 20.5 inches
For the back

I bought 2 of the 8x8 an one 8x32, I put the 8x8 on each end of the 8x32 and For orientation lay them upside down & Hooked them together
I Used one data line and three spots for power and it is very bright And it Looks Great

The 8x32 led matrix is approx 12.5" x 3.25" and the 8x8 approx 3.25" Square

How to add DOF (Direct Output Framework) support to any Future Pinball table.

********** How to Add DOF support to a Future Pinball table **********

by TerryRed

- this will add support for DOF (Direct Output Framework) for cabinet feedback and lighting support
- this is NOT the same as the DOF features for TerryRed's PinEvent tables / mods
- this does NOT use or require the PinEvent vbs files
- this does not use or require DOFLinx
- you should NOT have DOFLinx running when playing a table that uses this code (so both aren't accessing DOF at the same time)
- you still need to add DOF commands (for each event) throughout your table script, as well as create the DOF config commands for them on DOF Config Tool

 

PinEvent

Please, DO NOT use the name PinEvent when using this code, or when adding DOF to a FP table

PinEvent = TerryRed's FP tables / mods and pup-pack releases only


DO NOT use or modify my PinEvent DOF configs for my tables on DOF Config Tool!

• I have VERY specific DOF configs that are designed to work only with my PinEvent table updates (they start with FP_PE)
• everyone is free to use the standard FP DOF configs to mod other FP tables for DOF

****** How to do it ******

Copy the code below to the script of any Future Pinball table under Option Explicit

 

Code:

'/////////////////////// iCOM BAM PLUG-IN - USE COM OBJECTS ////////////////////////////

' The iCOM plug-in for BAM must be installed and enabled in the BAM Plug-ins menu!

' This will allow programs such as DOF, Pinup Player, and more to work directly with Future Pinball.

Dim icom : Set icom = xBAM.Get("icom") ' "icom" is name of "icom.dll" in BAM\Plugins dir

Function CreateObject(className)
Set CreateObject = icom.CreateObject(className)
End Function

'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


'//////////////////////// DOF: STARTUP & CONTROL SECTION /////////////////////////////

' This is used for the startup and control of DOF (Direct Output Framework)

Dim useDOF: useDOF = false
Dim DOFStatus:DofStatus=false
Dim DOFObject
Dim cGamename

Sub DOFStart(DOFProfile) 'Start DOF Session
if DofStatus=true then Exit Sub
if useDOF=true Then
Set DOFObject = CreateObject("DirectOutput.ComObject")
If DOFObject is Nothing Then
AddDebugText "DOF is not installed or detected"
useDOF=false
DofStatus=false
else
DOFObject.Init "B2SServer","",DOFProfile
DOFStatus=true
AddDebugText "Start DOF"
end if
End if
end sub

Sub DOFClose() 'PinEvent - Close out DOF session. Add this to FuturePinball_EndPlay()
if DOFStatus=false then Exit Sub
DOFStatus=false
DOFObject.Finish()
Set DOFObject=nothing
end sub

Sub dof(dID,dValue)
if DOFStatus=false then Exit Sub
if dValue=0 Then DOFObject.UpdateNamedTableElement "E"&dID,0
if dValue=1 Then DOFObject.UpdateNamedTableElement "E"&dID,1
if dValue=2 Then
DOFObject.UpdateNamedTableElement "E"&dID,1
DOFObject.UpdateNamedTableElement "E"&dID,0
End If
end Sub

' Usage: dof(dID,dValue)

' dID = DOF Exxx trigger
' dValue = trigger action. 0 = off, 1 = on, 2 = pulse

' Example:

' dof 103,1

' The above example will trigger DOF event E103 as ON


'///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////


'////////////// START DOF ////////////////

useDOF = true ' enable DOF
cGamename = "FP_TABLE_NAME" ' name of this table's DOF Config as listed on the "DOF Config Tool" web site
DOFStart(cGamename) ' check for DOF - If found, then start DOF Session

'/////////////////////////////////////////

 

Make sure you replace FP_TABLE_NAME in the above code with the "rom" name used for the table on DOF Config Tool


Make sure you add the command DOFClose to the FuturePinball_EndPlay() sub, to close out the DOF session when you exit the table.

 

Code:

Sub FuturePinball_EndPlay()
DOFClose()
End Sub

****** DOF COMMAND ******

Use the DOF command throughout your table script to trigger the DOF event for whatever feedback / lighting you want

dof(dID,dValue)

dID = DOF Exxx trigger
dValue = trigger action. 0 = off, 1 = on, 2 = pulse

Example:

dof 103,1

The above example will trigger DOF event E103 as ON

dof 103,0

The above example will trigger DOF event E103 as OFF

dof 103,2

The above example will trigger DOF event E103 for a short pulsed duration


 

****** DOF Config Tool Commands ******

You will only use Exxx commands with DOF Config Tool since all FP tables don't use roms.

For more info about creating DOF Config Tool configs and using my DOF Config Creator sheet, see this post:

DOF CONFIG CREATOR: Create and add MX Led effects and DOF configs to DOF CONFIG TOOL the EASY way!

HOW TO CREATE MX LED EFFECTS AND DOF CONFIGS FOR DOF CONFIG TOOL (the EASY way), USING DOF CONFIG CREATOR To create, add, or modify DOF Lighting and Feedback for virtual pinball tables in a cabinet: - a virtual pinball table for Visual Pinball, Future Pinball, Pinball FX3 (or any emulator, etc) M...

 

Those are the essentials you need to get started.

Please note, I am not giving full support for this... but only posting this here for others who want to use this to add DOF to their Future Pinball tables... and to get them started.

Again, please do NOT use the name PinEvent when referring to adding DOF to a FP table. The name PinEvent is used only for TerryRed releases.

Thank you.

Very cool!

[Ben Logan]

Awesome idea with the pop bumpers.

[Outhere]

Thanks for the comments

After having DOF Hardware, Running a table without it just seems wrong and the bumpers showing in the back really enhances the fun

[vogliadicane]

Never saw something like this before, very creative and looks totally awsome!

[hlr53]

AWESOME

[Outhere]

Up-Date

I am now up to a total of 20 solenoids... I have added a 3 chime unit, knocker, A solenoid that puts the ball in the shooting lane And one for the auto fire...

This is all real pinball equipment

Very cool stuff, let's do a walk thru and film it,  show these guys what you got under the hood : )

Hi Outhere!

 

Sorry for reviving such an old topic but I think you have a very cool setup with the popbumpers.

How much volt do the solenoids for the popbumpers need and what type are they.

 

I would love to make a setup like that to!

 

Kind regards!

Since you dug up this thread. I use the opportunity to say that there is a few things I would have considered doing different now. Real pop bumpers is one ( outhere style ), an upright monitor for the backglass is another ( borgdog style ).

I have some similar things in my cab/controller. Working flippers, slings, bumpers, chimes and a vertical monitor above them. Looks like the front 1/4 of a pinball machine. I recommend using real pinball parts for dof whenever possible.

Thank you

I updated the 1st post with the information you are looking for

As far as voltage you may be able use less but then you may not get a good result

You may need to do some investigating on Google, what the type of solenoid that came with the game that I convert it..

EBay as a good supply of parts

On the next one that I build I will be considering one monitor for the back glass

Hi Outhere!

I am very interested in how to implement real solenoids assemblies in my virtual pincab, but I found almost nothing in the forum and in general online. It seems that it is not a path taken by many. Could you give me some suggestions?  (or direct me to some tutorials)
I read that you use the original power supply for the real solenoids but what power does it have?How are they connected? through the pinscape expansion board?
 

I bought a non-working Gottlieb Rescue 911, but with the playfield populated, so I thought about using real solenoid assemblies.
Checking the solenoid datasheets I realized that they require a lot of power, for example the two flippers are A-25959 with resistances 3.85 / 202 ohm @ 50V, calculating the intensity of current I get 13A / 0.24A [The two values ​​are for the primary coil (power) and the sencodary (hold)]. The result is therefore an absorption of 650W (power) and 14.5W (hold). So does it mean that when both flippers are pressed at the same time, I have an absorption peak of 1300W? (sounds crazy )

Considering that 3 or 4 solenoids can be activated simultaneously during a multiball, which power supply should I buy? surely there is something that I don't get, my knowledge in electronics is rather limited.

The other problem is that the pinscape power board can handle up to 4A @ 60V so I guess the two flippers for example cannot be controlled through the power board (?)

Hey Outthere!, You have solenoid for auto kicker, but what is DOF port assignement for it ?

I'm not an electrician so I can't help you with the math but that seems wrong. I'm running all real pinball mechs through a pinscape and powering it with a PC power supply. 12v for now. Could switch to a 24v PS if I felt I was missing something. No problems whatsoever with a 600W PS.

For every game that I add to my cabinet
I have to go on the DOF website move things around,  There is 8 Custom Output plus lots of extra Chime outputs

I'm using an LEDwiz with solid state relays
If I was doing it today I would use this - Pinscape All-in-One  -- https://www.vpforums...topic=43173&hl=

Just because it's non-working doesn't mean to power supply don't work

Has far is the flippers if you hold them only the secondary coil is being used
On older machines they uses a coil that actually had 2 coils inside of it,  There is an switch on the flipper mechanism that would cut out the high power part of the coil And on the newer machines they do it through the electronics
I remount it the mechanisms on some half inch plywood and mounted them under the TV

Because i used the original power supply 43v, circuit board with all the original Solenoids,  I have one fuse for all Solenoids
I tested a few of the solenoids and some pulled 5 + amps when held on that's why when it's solid state relays at the time
Like bord said You don't necessarily need full voltage To make everything work good

I kind of copied what I saw in a lot of You Tube videos with the simple-guy approach. My power supply for my 8 toys is 12v. So my coils are rated at 12v running off the Sainsmart 8 Board. I have 2 flipper coils, 2 slingshot coils 2 pop bumper coils, 1 Stern Spike Shaker Motor (throttled down to 5v) and, 1 knocker coil from a real pinball machine. All the toys are positioned in the cabinet so they sound like they are coming from the right locations. Now I did grab some real pinball coils and pop bumpers from the old parts table at Pin-A-Go-Go, but very few would actually trigger with 12v, most of them wanted upwards of 48v. The knocker is the only one that would trigger @ 12v. I am taking my source 12v from the 12v power lead on the PC power supply.

 

Depending on what path you take it will always be smart to put diodes on your toys so de-energized current does not flow back to your control board in the reverse direction. Good Luck & Have Fun .... it makes the cabinet very convincing to have the toys in it.
