Features of Note: DMD screen is a 17” monitor recessed into the bottom of the backglass. Thursday, November 17, 11

Features of Note: Screens were removed from casing for better fit. Thursday, November 17, 11

Other Notables Both a 46” and 32” television used Quad-core CPU on Windows XP Video Cards used total ~$375 to ~$400 together Experience would suggest that 600W PSU not recommended for Video configuration IPac Used Thursday, November 17, 11

Features of Note: Case design is much more complex. Thursday, November 17, 11

Features of Note: DMD is reflected of the playfield glass. This requires special mirrored glass. Thursday, November 17, 11

Features of Note: Relay board for force feedback in this implementation expected a common ground and +5V trigger But the LEDWIZ used a common +5V and ground as the trigger. Should consider this when using LEDWIZ Thursday, November 17, 11

Features of Note: Dual 46” Displays May be prohibitively expensive Thursday, November 17, 11

Features of Note: PC controls from a side panel Thursday, November 17, 11

Features of Note: LEDWIZ needed relays to interact with force feedback solenoids Thursday, November 17, 11

Builder discovered that solenoids get very Features of hot when left engaged for longer than 10 Note: seconds - a reasonable activation time for flippers. Also found that solenoids were also sometimes left engaged when exiting a table in software. Thursday, November 17, 11

Final Remark: The Wildfire project page had numerous solutions for feedback motors, LEDWIZ timings, and wiring. Thursday, November 17, 11
