RFM Updates

I best get that shaker and knocker fitted then!

@myPinballs do you think this is about it, for your work on RFM for the near future, or will you be implementing the 6 ball trough or other features in the future?

Appreciate your work and time you’ve spent on this :thumbs:

So taz turbo jnr is away at his cousins, and I’m home alone, so all fitted and eagerly awaiting the update, bit like Christmas all over again.

Was looking at the schematics to work out which pairs were for the shaker/knocker, an awful lot of unused outputs there!

No the connector or wiring on the knocker don’t interfere with the tilt bob.

Nice one. Hope you have fun playing it this easter. I'm really happy with the shaker additions. It really adds to the game. Even more than i thought it would. I really like playing mine again! I've tried to add the shaker calls into fun places. My fav at the moment is on the catapult shot for paris in peril! :) ha ha ha
 
Shaker/Knocker loom update:

I am in talks with a few manufacturers here in the uk to see if its viable to get a bulk lot made. Making them by hand is very time consuming, slow and tedious!!! Hopefully it pans out and then i will have a nice quick despatch supply of them :) Current price is £25 plus postage, but that may change.
 
Update on the shaker looms.

I have a manufacturer on board now and am in the process of ordering 100 units. Let me show once again that i am committed to providing high quality products and not afraid to stump up the cash for large investments, or put the work in, especially in the update and improvement of my beloved Pinball 2000 :)
 
Pinbox/Nucore users running with original bulbs -> can you confirm if your lamp test works as expected or gives gibberish? Experimenting with some timing settings that seem to make my pinbox setup lamp test work perfectly, whereas without, the lamp matrix a test is wrong.

One other great thing was, after i got it working correctly, i identified a rogue 161 bulb and a bad holder in my game almost instantly.
 
Thanks Jim, updated my RFM today, was very easy to complete. Loving the new code. Was thinking of just adding a shaker motor as well as I have one lying around. How does this connect to the pin, any guidance most welcome.

You buy a loom off me. I’m having them made at the moment. Originally I made them by hand,but they are too popular now

100% recommend the shaker motor, really adds to the game, very simple to fit to, with Jim's loom, it connects to three plugs on the Pin2000 power driver board and then plug your shaker into the other end.

Why not fit a proper knocker to, so much better than the crappy squeal/squeak it used to make, as per the shaker, it also plugs into Jim's loom.

@myPinballs - Jim
Bit of a question someone has asked reference knocker and shaker motor!
If you use pinbox/NuCore and switch between RFM and SWE1 - is the shaker and knocker mapped to outputs used on that game.
Obviously I know you have not altered the code in SWE1 to do the knocker/shaker - but I wouldnt want a knocker to go off when a flasher was activated in SWE1.

This is just for RFM. If you use SWEp1 , unplug the loom.

Maybe and i say maybe i will address this in the future, but i've got enough on for now!
