Improbable due to if you have seen his memorabilia collection He had 3 or 4 Orange Nametags which means he started working at 16 or 17 and he has many white name tags which means he’s about in his mid 20s
I just started working on an 8-control one, it'll be a lot simpler, but still using actual Allen-Bradley buttons. The top row will be Control Power, Reset, Seats/Floor, and E-stop. The bottom row will be Dispatch, Gates, Restraints, and Dispatch. Here's how I plan for it to work: Control Power: A 2-position switch. Not a keyswitch, didn't want to bother with a key. On turns on the panel and sets the station to manual dispatch, Off turns off the panel and sets the station to auto dispatch. Reset: A red guarded illuminated button. Activates NL2's Reset function, light flashes if the coaster crashes and needs to be reset. Works even with Control Power off. Not sure if this is possible, as this function doesn't have a keybind or a telemetry function. Seats/Floor: An amber guarded illuminated button. Controls seats on flying coasters and the floor on floorless coasters. Light flashes when the seats/floor are in dispatch position and can be moved to loading position, and is on when the seats/floor are in loading position. Does nothing and not illuminate at all if the coaster isn't floorless or flying. E-stop: A red illuminated push-pull mushroom head button. Activates NL2's E-stop function when pushed, deactivates it when pulled. Light is on when activated, flashes when deactivated. Works even with Control Power off. Restraints: An amber guarded illuminated button. Opens and closes restraints. Light flashes when restraints are closed and can be opened, and is on when they're open. Gates: An amber guarded illuminated button. Opens and closes gates. Light flashes when gates are closed and can be opened, and is on when they're open. Dispatch: Two green guarded illuminated buttons. Dispatches train. Buttons will be wired in series (requires both to be pressed) and their lights in parallel. Lights will flash when a train can be dispatched and will be on when a train is moving in the station. I'm hoping to make it use NL2's telemetry server, so that it will stay in sync with the state of the actual coaster in NL2.
You’re right about the start up horns though. I work both El Toro and Minetrain at Great Adventure and they have some of the most obnoxious horns ever. Minetrain has a train horn, and we have to cover our ears, and Toros is just annoying
I know you love this kind of gig but why work for a park like six flags when you can create your own panels and maybe sell them to smaller park chains, im not trying to put you down but this is truly amazing how you created this using your own abilities you are a true genius
I know it has been a while since I emailed you last. I have all of the parts for my panel. I got the Arduino Leonardo for my circuit board. I can't figure out how to wire it up though. Any suggestions. Thanks!
I have all the hardware to build something similar, but never had any coding experience. Id love to see how the coding is done, at the moment mine is so damn simple, i want it to act like an actual ride panel rather than a flashy keyboard
Can you post a tutorial on how to build a panel like that? I really want to learn how to build that kind of panel to operate my coasters on No Limits 2.
Going to attempt to build my own panel. Got all the buttons, and I liked you idea of a LCD in yours, so im implimenting it in mine. Question, do you have a potentiometer for the LCD? I dont see it in your wiring anywhere. Also, are you using relays for power for the 24volt or 124 volt bulbs? Or did you replace bulbs?
May i ask - how does communication work? I mean, you sad "can emulate a keyboard", so you may send key-presses with the adruino, but on the other hand, the blinking lights ( eg at 7:36 ) seem so be in sync too, so, is there any communication back to you panel?
Lev's Inventions do you know where I can find a good audio file for this? I know exactly the sound your talking about I just didn’t know what it was called
I’ve operated dozens of dozens of coasters. One of the hardest I’ve ever had to operate was The Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at universal. That ride has so many buttons its not even funny. The op is responsible for about 35 buttons, and knowing what you can and cant press on the RCS. However, it was the most fun I’ve ever had
Hey buddy! Absolutely amazing panel here. You do some really amazing stuff. I too have built some small Allen Bradley panels to control some show control software similar to this, but nothing to the level that you’ve created here. I would love to try and create something like this with your help. Would love to share my idea with you about creating a panel to control an automated live entertainment show. Do you have a business email or social media where we can chat?? Thanks buddy!
So I am looking to make a No Limits 2 Panel. I have already purchased buttons for the panel. I was wondering which two Arduino circuit boards you have and where you got the enclosure for the panel. I am having trouble figuring out those two things. Your panel is the best I've seen so any help would be much appreciated. Thanks.
So I am waiting for the buttons to show up and I was watching your video of how you did the code. I am going to try to see if the lights in the buttons that I ordered work when I get them or if I need to buy LEDs. Would it be possible for you to give me a link or a product name for the LEDs you purchased. Thanks! Your video was extremely helpful and happy new year!! Thanks!
@@alpakat292 only keyboard shortcuts. I'd eventually like to get it more features than that. The station does not stop if you release the buttons. Holding the buttons unlocks the restraints when it stops in the station and you release but otherwise it's just for show
sfgamfan Nice. Never thought it was cheap, but that is kinda pricy/expensive. Makes sense though. It’s basically a ride op panel simulation. Would love to buy one of these lovely panels from you when I achieve the money.
yo bro sorry to bother you again (i also said this on your discussion page) but i'd love to purchase one of these in the future and i was wandering if your still making these boards for people, price is absolutely no object (within reason obv) bc i would just love to own one of these bad boys. (btw yes, i am that guy that left that slightly mean comment that i have since deleted and i would like to say it was for comedic intent and i apologise)
Thanks for your feedback. As something that only I use, totally agree I need to rewire it for appearances only. I'm assuming you haven't seen many wiring jobs because I've seen many commerical jobs that look way worse.
Hey I’m interested in purchasing a panel from you I would appreciate it if you could give me your email to get in contact with you about purchasing a panel from you

Man I would sit there all day and just operate a ride. The panel looks absolutely amazing!
Same!
Same!
Lots of respect for your work on this stunning control panel!
To be honest with you.... since April I've been working on a control panel that is way beyond our "hobby" size 🙈🙈🙈
Nice! Thanks
@@realsfgamfan can u do a panle review
@@LevsInventions is it going to be featured on your youtube chanel? Can't wait to see how it is going to look

Greatest panel ever created
Glad you agree
this is so cool! great job
That's really cool.
Nice job dude!

Jesus Christ i would not want to spend my free time pretending to do something thats already my job but i can see the appeal to some people.
Zonies Coasters same ahaha
I use to work at an amusement park here in Canada and I just love control panels and how they operate :)
I will be working back at the amusement park again if they get to open this year
I know you love this kind of gig but why work for a park like six flags when you can create your own panels and maybe sell them to smaller park chains, im not trying to put you down but this is truly amazing how you created this using your own abilities you are a true genius
Oh my god. This man is going to become a ride control panel manufactorer.
Would love to own one of these due to myself playing a lot of theme park/ fairground games
This slaps.
Awesome
Can we get a POV of the coaster used in this video? That station looks amazing!
Intelligent young man
I know it has been a while since I emailed you last. I have all of the parts for my panel. I got the Arduino Leonardo for my circuit board. I can't figure out how to wire it up though. Any suggestions. Thanks!
I made a cintrol panel with the telemetry interface of nolinits 2. It's just a prototype but I want to use allen bradley buttons.

Were do you buy the buttons ? :-)
Where did you get the buttons and switches?
Build remote and enable panels so your friends can be operators too
How do you hook it up to no limits. When you make it do you make it as "hotkeys" so to speak or is it some sort of mod
Going to attempt to build my own panel. Got all the buttons, and I liked you idea of a LCD in yours, so im implimenting it in mine. Question, do you have a potentiometer for the LCD? I dont see it in your wiring anywhere. Also, are you using relays for power for the 24volt or 124 volt bulbs? Or did you replace bulbs?
I'll make a video answering this questions a bit
I am looking into making a 14 button panel with a LCD inside two slots. Would I need to have two ardurinos?
I WANT ONE OF THESE
May i ask - how does communication work? I mean, you sad "can emulate a keyboard", so you may send key-presses with the adruino, but on the other hand, the blinking lights ( eg at 7:36 ) seem so be in sync too, so, is there any communication back to you panel?
That is literally a next level compared to panel i am building
What is this called, Im training for a job as an OP at alton towers but as its closed I need to learn for next year but can't find one anywhere
i wish you could buy one of these
Omg this is sooooo cool 😍😵 and your kinda cute🙈🙈🙈😅
You should add the B&M "DIN [33 404]" tone as the startup sound!
Lev's Inventions do you know where I can find a good audio file for this? I know exactly the sound your talking about I just didn’t know what it was called
Hey lev u watch him to
How do you turn off friction or lower it

Can i buy your control panel??? I'm wanting to build my own but can't find the parts. It would be easier to buy one already built
How do I purchase nice buttons like these im thinking of making a panel
We’re can you get that operater thing
Hi amazing vid, how much are those buttons? Allen-Bradley components are kinda pricy I think.
they run about $15-30 depending on the type of deal you can get!

I know that Allen Bradley needs 110+ volts to operate, how did you get 110v to a breadboard? This might be a dumb question…

I used the mega and due. Use the wire library to get them to talk to each other. The enclosure I got from eBay
@@realsfgamfan Thanks so much. Is it ok if I comment again if I have issue with programming? Thanks.
@@PanicattheDispatch sure. Any time
@@realsfgamfan Thank you so much. I appreciate the help more then you can know.

will it work for omsi 2
Will it work for fs22 ? As I don't play those games
Where did you get the buttons from?
eBay. Search Allen Bradley 800T 30MM pushbutton
How do you get this?
Build it yourself that's how I got it
I want that so bad
Damn it doesn’t have an extension cord lock out. Not a true six flags panel
Wayyyyy too ugly for a personal panel. Good one!!!
Hi, Who I can buy the material
Hi ,were buy it ?
I would like to buy one put with the green dispatch button that kinda looks like the emergency stop button but I only have $230.00
Do you still work at sfgam
Yo, what happened to your panel reviews?
Would you still be up for building one of these panels, and if possible shipping one to the uk?
Sure. But you would have to pay for it up front, wait for parts to ship, etc. Next year we may do a production run of a few so stay tuned.
@@realsfgamfan Thanks for the info, any idea of cost? and potential to dissconect screen? (want to cut a custom hole so it sits flush)
@@Johny2427ap no less than $1000. Around 1500 for a really nice one.
@@realsfgamfan thanks for the info, i'll be looking to buy one when you start producing, likely going to go for a nice one
If you ever feel the need to get rid of that I’ll take it. I’m your guy.
I'll keep it in mind. I use it to charge my PlayStation controller so it still has a use
Where did you get that panel
I built it
Where can you buy the buttons?
Automation direct, Rockwell automation, McMaster Carr, grainger....
bru how do i get this
Where do you buy the buttons?
The internet
Like what website do you go to?
@@asher5265 AB 800T 30mm Google it. eBay.
I want one
Where can I buy this? thx
Watch the video.
Six flags logic: ok let's remove all rides we are ordering 30 Larson loopers and we are also going to order 10 waterside.
I don't understand, where is the ride?!!
so the mega does not support Keyboard.h?
Not as of 5 years ago
Do you only use the keyboad shortcuts, or a custom NoLimits script ?
So for example, does the Station "stops" if you release the dispatch buttons ?
considering, the Ride Stop turns the E-Stop in NoLimits on, I think you only use Keyboard shortcuts
@@alpakat292 only keyboard shortcuts. I'd eventually like to get it more features than that. The station does not stop if you release the buttons. Holding the buttons unlocks the restraints when it stops in the station and you release but otherwise it's just for show
If you use a custom coaster script, you can controll every section... It`s so cool.
btw. sorry if I misspelt anything, I'm not a native english guy... Love your videos, keep on making them...
what is that game
put that key switch as a ride start enable 💀
I found a control pack on Amazon for $29 and $39
Maybe a tutorial on how to build it?
soon!
@@realsfgamfan Hey man, we really miss you, can you please come back, maybe make that tutorial?
Could you make me one? 🤣 Doesn’t seem too hard though, you just had to bind the controls to the keybinds?
The board sends a keyboard press. I'll build you one for $1000. They're not cheap.
sfgamfan Nice. Never thought it was cheap, but that is kinda pricy/expensive. Makes sense though. It’s basically a ride op panel simulation. Would love to buy one of these lovely panels from you when I achieve the money.

? What
Why not use magic to restart the ride?

Imagine pressing the wrong button and people fall out the ride 😂😂😂
