Nice! Excited to get one that will light up the Neo Geo logo as well for my 6-slot. Keep up the great work man.

I am working on a simple checkout page and I was looking for some help. I am using paypal and the shipping is calculated by them so could a few of you take a look, add something to the cart and go to the paypal page, but not actual pay. I am interested in what it's charging you for shipping based on your country.

it's paypal, they only support UK shipping on my account so I am changing the e-cart to woocommerce and will post again for testing when I have it finished.

New boards arrived today, Do you like them in red ?

Just a few more bits to test with the boards and the new webshop and we can start things moving.

I had a few orders this week so I am left with enough to make 10 light panels or 2 4 slot kits. How many people are interested in kits at some point in the future ?

I'm still keen to get one for my US 6-slot cab once finances/time to start restoring it allow.

I am going to wait until the last kits are sold and then use that to order the next batch. I also have some plans for a new control board that should make it better for me.

I had a little accident testing out my new reflow oven on a batch of led pcb. I had one PCB left and they are all allocated so I will be revealing my new boards in the next few days.

I never posted this. Complete redesign of the board and everything now runs from 5v only including the panels so no more 12v power leads and it can be run from the EL port of the neogeo. I checked that the MVS boards can cope with the small amount of current needed and the MVS boards are multi layer with 5v and gnd planes so it was no problem at all.

Is this open source or are you selling the boards. Either way I am interested.

Hi All, first I want to thank everyone that ordered my kits, it makes it all worth while.

It was taking too much time to assemble the led pcb by hand and then making the panels from scratch and everything that was involved so I reached out to a company that makes LED back lights and have some samples made to my specs. So far everything is working just as before, but the colour is a little too blue on the samples. From your point of view nothing has changed and the size is just the same. The updated control boards are also the same and these ones have the option to be changed from 2 to 4 and 6 slot by the end user and means I can just build and program the one version. I redesigned my credit board to work with the atmega IC instead of the arduino nano and they are also going through testing on my 4 slot. So soon I will be adding the credit boards and credit data cable to the shop.

I only have enough for 2 4 slot kits left so could be a small delay until the new panels arrive, but then I will be able to turn kit build around in a few days instead of weeks.
