MM Remake Topper - put on Original MM

[Dave Bishop]

Quite like the look of the MM topper from CGC.

Looking at a video of the topper, it looks like the topper runs from a circuit board that also handle the new G.I upgrade..

My question for the guys on here that produce circuit boards, is it possible to create something that will go original G.I connectors, through maybe a Z connector, to a board that would then covert it to the right voltage to run the topper lights.

You need something to drive the LEDs and then something to signal the drive box what to do. I think there are three LED segments that you would need to signal in some way. The Board does GI, speaker lights and the topper.

Sorry they are RGB’s.. topper has 4 connectors..

I don’t mind the topper just lighting up a single colour. But would be interesting to see if this could be done.

I thought CGC were going to make it compatible with Original MM’s too. But guess they decided not to.

Not sure CGC said that but any imagine then doing it - you should be able to wire the leds to a normal led controller fairly easily.

Anything is possible however full game integration would require some work. You would need to replicate what triggers what effect on MMR and then simulate in proper MM. It might not be trivial.

you could do it with an audio to LED controller, and use the audio from the game to do sound to light.

I could convert it to work on a normal MM no problem. Link some LEDs into flasher circuits. Use an arduino to do some nice lighting.

Feel free to PM me if you can get hold of one.

I believe @philpalmer is ordering me a topper.

So it’s pretty much a go

Dave - I do a lot of work for Phil so let me know if I can be of help.

Generally I see him every 2 - 3 weeks.

 

[Dave Bishop]

I think Phil is also contemplating doing the same thing with his MM.

Would love to do the same with mine... Deffo interested (Are they still available??!)

Let me know if anyone else wants them, look like £600 each with UK VAT etc.
