The Arcade Machinist

I do collect, restore and retrofit arcade and casino machines. And poke some electronics in between. For my own fun.

Spoiler: It has SSH enabled by default and root's password can be calculated from MAC and "Install Code", both printed on the box and inside battery compartment.

Custom apps on Control4 EC-100? Sure, why not. Overall it is a nice Linux device with Wifi and Zigbee.

Original software was so bad, that I have decided to scrap it completely and embark on a journay to convert it to a flight sim chair (X-Plane). Already reverse-engineered the motion control protocol. Controller is Syntron SC-MBOX v3, with Ethernet.

Not exactly "Arcade", but a very fun project.

@AzureSupport "intermittent" in Microsoft's dictionary seems to mean 100% down for hours.

@d0tslash @sundhaug92 @foosecn00b Yeah, this thing basically runs the same "super scaler" board, that GLoc has.

@BulkleyTools This was a selfmade control box for 35kw Koehler genset. 480v 3ph. Now I just use rotary to add phase from 240v and then stepup transformet to 480v

[The Arcade Machinist @ArcadeMachinist]

Industrial 3 phase 480v now available in my garage.

A project si
ze record for me to this day. Yes, it work (hardware-wise), software part in progress. Missing few key programs/services, but would recreate. Already moves fine.

[The Arcade Machinist @ArcadeMachinist]

@hive_tracker @ubicomp @ISWCNET Looks like Upverter removed your hardware designs.

[The Arcade Machinist @ArcadeMachinist]

This one goes to a new home today. Cleaning up space for new projects!

It looks like KV-32FS12, that I did rescue locally in January, is pretty fine. I can hear some minor arc sound about once every few minutes, but the screen is stable.

[The Arcade Machinist @ArcadeMachinist]

@MakeAugusta I use smth like that when I need to get 240v and there are outlets on different phases around. Won’t be a 50A plug thou

@KyivIndependent I’m glad this PoS left US soil.

@MedvedevRussiaE Less than 300 per person, we would send more

@MedvedevRussiaE Less than $300 per person, would send more.

@NewsfromJEA That monitoring Map is useless. You continue closing my tickets as “resolved”, but 13.2kV high voltage cable still being on the ground down the street makes me think you are lying.

@d0tslash your Safari privileges were revoked

[The Arcade Machinist @ArcadeMachinist]

@d0tslash it has a bug in the game UI that can be exploited to gain access

[The Arcade Machinist @ArcadeMachinist]

@d0tslash I’m sure the system, used to notify airline/TSA about LEO on duty, flying armed, has same kind of issues.

[The Arcade Machinist @ArcadeMachinist]

@d0tslash I’m sure shotgun works

Fun repair today. Got from a Japanese seller on eBay, turned out to be dead because of internal water damage. Got refunded. Replaced FPC cables and connectors and it is back to life! Around $15 in parts to fix.
