Episode#28 Custom Virtual Pinball Cabinet Build
This is a part 2 of Episode #27 where we started installing the addressable leds for the matrix and side playfield strips.
In this video I will be continuing to show you how to add addressable leds lighting for your under cabinet, behind the back box, and in your speaker grills. As usual, this video will have a ton of tips and tricks to get your custom virtual pinball looking absolutely amazing! This stuff seems crazy hard but is actually pretty simple once you have a walkthrough like this. Fear not! I got you!
