Pinball Cab 42" LCD Playfield
Kurt:
emphatic, SpaceHedgehog: Thanks guys.
crashwg: They are magnetic impact relays so when the flippers are pressed it will add that thump on the sidewall of the cab like a real machine in a sence. That along side a sub woofer it should sound and feel pretty good.

Beautiful, makes me feel good just staring at it. You know I snaffled that idea for thump relays or solenoids way back in someone else's pinny thread (i forget who now). Seems you paid a fair bit for those relays though, I was just wondering if there weren't cheaper solenoids that would do the job? I'm sure you researched it though by the looks of things.

Thanks Ond, Regarding the relays i didnt do enough research and paid for it but they are tried and tested.
Cheap option someone pointed out is http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/onl...um=cpc#details Guys are testing it out atm.

I love this idea of using relays for FF with the pinball flipper buttons... Snip snip...
But, wouldn't just picking up a few used pinball solenoids off ebay for 4$ work just as well? Or are they too difficult to wire up or something? I could see mounting them so they smack the inside of the cab right next to the flipper button (might have to play with the arrangement to get the feel right).
Regardless, this is one fantastic build!

Thanks drventure, I really have no clue when it comes to the inner workings on a real pinball machine i think when its comes down to wiring it to the i-pac it should be easy enough with the relay and leaf switch in mind. It's all trial and error on my end so ill have to wait and see if it works out.
