Visual Pinball Machine in Attract Mode Lights on Video

Video of Visual Pinball Machine Played in the Dark

Here is a video of the Visual Pinball Machine played in the dark, the 3 CREE RGBW LEDs can almost light the entire basement when they go off. It's amazing the difference between them and the standard LEDs in the side of the cabinet which aren't nearly as bright although they are about the same size.

I will probably tune the Arduino animation further, this is just a rough first cut. I think speeding up the winning flashes will help and perhaps some other changes. Interestingly the animation works fine off the USB power supply of the computer, but using a 12V 1600mA power supply the animation will not work completely. I suspect that the external power supply must not be up to it, but it should be ample theoretically.
