Episode#28 Big Budget Virtual Pinball Cabinet Tutorial Series!
In this episode, I show you how to install all of the rest of your aleds (under cab, behind the back box, speakers, and your mx buttons) in your virtual pinball cabinet. I also show you how to test your led strips as you solder them up to ensure they are ok before installing any DOF to your lighting.
As always, I also add all of the Way of the Wrench extras you guys have grown to love so you have a perfectly running vpin in the easiest format to understand! What more could you ask for???
