Rooter's Pinball
TopJimmyCooks:
get extra pins beyond the exact amount needed for the kit. you will goof some up. I kludged and used my cheap gc waldom crimpers that I got from Marco Specialties the last time I did round pins. The housings are not very tight around the barrel of the pins, so it's not as critical as say .100 header pins.

Joke or not, doesn't sound like the wisest choice to use when it comes to a manual/guide...
Mysterioii:
That manual also says to solder wires onto pins of your LEDWiz to drive an H-bridge to in turn drive a shaker motor, when really all you should need to do is hook up a simple mosfet circuit to the regular outputs (cheaper, simpler, and no hacking of your controller board).

I have all my shaker parts, but I didn't read that section yet. I'm really hoping to find a better way. I was waiting for my molex connections to arrive, so I could wire up the many fuses. I have already had my LED's wired up without fuses, but I was afraid to add the knocker and the shaker motor without adding them as the guide has me a little paranoid.
I am still having trouble finding a decent deal on two contactors. I just need those and the LED DMD and I will be about done. I have had the DMD controller board for a while now, but there is nowhere to find the actual displays at the moment (need to wait a few more weeks).

Your build is looking great!
Now you have me curious about this new Simulator..... Any details? I LOVE the FP Tables, but HATE the lack for feedback abilities.
