Title: Animation files for an 160x64 pixel mikohn-sign Post by: miles on September 06, 2011, 03:53:17 PM Hi,
I have an old "Rainbow" sign from Mikohn (160x64 Pixel) On this sign,i have animations and progressiv values shown. Now i want to change the animation. This animation-files are together with the .pdf and .bat-files on a Compact flash card inside the sign. This animation files are .ani files .Ani files are normally animated cursor files, but i can't open this files with such a program. Did anybody know a program to open and change or create these .ani-files for the mikohn sign :99- kind regrads Title: Re: Animation files for an 160x64 pixel mikohn-sign Post by: knagl on September 06, 2011, 09:03:51 PM Mikohn used propriatary formats for their animations. They also had multiple controllers for their signs, so for starters we'll need to know what kind of controller is driving your sign. If you don't know, a clear picture of the main board that the sign plugs into (typically with a ribbon cable) will be very helpful.
Additionally, I'm familiar with Mikohn animation files that are .mik file format -- not so much with .ani. Title: Re: Animation files for an 160x64 pixel mikohn-sign Post by: miles on September 07, 2011, 07:15:16 PM hello,
here some pictures of the sign i also can attach an .ani file,,,if that can help Title: Re: Animation files for an 160x64 pixel mikohn-sign Post by: knagl on September 07, 2011, 08:10:09 PM Wow, that is one big sign.
Unfortunately, I've never seen that board before and I double-checked -- all the animations I've worked with in the past are .mik format, not .ani . :60- Hopefully someone else will see your post here and be able to offer you some help.

seeing that Mikohn set-up! WOW! I highly recommend that you save any animations that are stored before trying to change anything on that puppy!

There is one nice casino sign in an auction tomorrow that has a big rainbow meter. It has the driver board and power supplies but I'm assuming there is a CON needed to program and run the progressive on this meter. I wouldn't want a nice big meter that says LINK DOWN or ERROR. Did a little searching and it appears the rainbow came out in about 2001.

These would be Point and Shoot and Build LFS, near to imposible to obtain.

But lack of info on it is discourging me.Dan (tacman) |
