Gemini2544 Posted November 4, 2015 Share Posted November 4, 2015 This looks great! Can wait to see it finished. Will it be using any Hankin boards or will you use Bally, Williams, Flippp, Homepin or a Rottendog? Must be a real challenge to put this all together & have it all compatible. Good work!

BIG Trev Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 Mine will be mostly Arduino electronics and Hankin mechs. Trev Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Trev Posted November 4, 2015 Author Share Posted November 4, 2015 This is a pic of the test playfield. This will not be used in the final machine.

BIG Trev Posted December 12, 2015 Author Share Posted December 12, 2015 I bought myself a wav-trigger for this project, soldered some headers on it and hooked it up to an arcade psu and my pc speakers to test it. The next job with it is to create more wav files for the Space Invaders sounds and hook it up to the oleds and pop bumper circuitry. DK, Asteroids, Pac Man and Frogger sounds to follow later. I might even use the Buckner and Garcia Pac Man fever CD as backing tracks? Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG Trev Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 If your going to use one of these make sure the wav file is in the right format or it won't play. Sent from my SM-G900I using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigredbird Posted December 13, 2015 Share Posted December 13, 2015 I sent the Space Invaders sounds to your other thread in Arcade. Here are the other sounds you mentioned earlier in this thread that you are going to need. http://www.classicgaming.cc/classics/donkeykong/sounds.php http://www.classicgaming.cc/classics/pacman/sounds.php http://www.classicgaming.cc/classics/asteroids/sounds.php http://www.classicgaming.cc/classics/frogger/sounds/frogger.mp3 Donkey Kong, Pacman and Frogger are all individual WAV files. The Frogger file is all sounds together, you may have to split and record them individually. There are individual Frogger sounds available but you have to pay for them, I couldn't find any good free ones. Let me know if you want a link to the paid sounds. Looking forward to your completed project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG Trev Posted December 13, 2015 Author Share Posted December 13, 2015 Time to try and get my head around writing the code for the bumpers and putting the wiring together. I'll have a 1hz pulse going to an Arduino Leonardo on each bumper, setting the frequency for the invaders animation. This will keep all 3 bumper animations in sync. An Oled display for the animation. A mosfet driver for the coil, a switch input from the bumper and outputs to the wav-trigger board for the sounds. There will also be outputs and a latch to an Arduino Mega for scoring. I think that's it? I'll post a video when/if I get it all working. The invader animation will appear on each bumper, when the bumper is hit the display will show the explosion sprite and the invader hit sound will be played along with the score being recorded. After a set or random(undecided) number of hits the ufo is displayed with its associated sound for a set period. If the ufo is hit during this time a random score is recorded and the associated sound is played. It's at times like this I wish there was a beer in the fridge.

BIG Trev Posted January 6, 2016 Author Share Posted January 6, 2016 I received the Arduino Mega boards yesterday http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/06/467b0870bc95275b5949279bb463784d.jpg and set up a test rig for the bumper assemblies with the Leonardo board, a Mosfet driver and the oled display, http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/06/0b9b22c8f41c2160fb631bcd52730e2c.jpg so I'm not trying to hold half a dozen bits while testing.

BIG Trev Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 I just touched it and look what happened.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/19/09cecace5bc03b775d3879f59f9e7336.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/19/d811dad8eb5e7f47679ed72bee2df40a.jpgI'm sure this had nothing to do with it.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/19/b9ed7a22ed4a63d235d3a26f6dd139b7.jpg[emoji6] This was a spare cabinet that I've used almost all of the other parts off on various projects including this one. It was in poor condition, especially on the back. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/01/19/ca3f16118075a553b25e0ede76762900.jpgI'll be making a new front, back and base for it so it'll fit the modified spare Shark playfield I'm using.

BIG Trev Posted January 20, 2016 Author Share Posted January 20, 2016 It all comes down to how many I/O lines it has. I'll need more for the main boards that's why I chose the Mega and the Leonardo fits the bill for the individual assemblies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought seeing it was for the pop bumper that you would only be using a few inputs, see one should never "assume " ! Do you want a copy of my messages code for the 8X8 LED Matrix ? It works fine with single modules that are then daisy chained. I'm trying to get it to work with a nice 4 display module that I just got off ebay, but it runs the code I have 90 degrees out in orientation :o Keep up the good work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BIG Trev Posted March 17, 2016 Author Share Posted March 17, 2016 Making an Orbit1 cabinet into a widebody Hankin to take the Shark playfield I'm using in this project. I cut new ends today and I'll cut the base tomorrow and try and get it assembled. It's going to need a lot of putty around the corners. http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/03/16/75ba31addcecedff427249498158db4a.jpg Trev Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BIG Trev Posted March 18, 2016 Author Share Posted March 18, 2016 The coin door and credit button holes were cut out this morning and the bottom edge has been routed to take the base. It's then been glued and strapped together while it dries.http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/03/17/205eb6cf105039d265dae226c58385f3.jpghttp://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/16/03/17/ae2edc92f2a29e5a23020bdd30375605.jpg I put the playfield in to keep it square.
