    Just a thought i converted well actually built the pinballs from a couple of playfields using arduinos to replace the em stuff. The machines are a gottlieb flying carpet and a duotron. I was looking into the next step and found this guy who is designing a board for use with stm32 micros it is call cobrapin. After getting a couple of stm32 blue pills i loaded the arduino ide and my pinball software a few minor mods on pins and it appears to be ok so i ordered the new board. i will not be here till june but i have my code ready for the gottlieb flying carpet ready to go. I can play my flying carpet with the arduinos and freetronics modfet drivers so i am ok. Some really clever people out there, i did thing about OPP amd the mission stuff but i like to build from scratch.

    hi,
    There is an alternative approach you could ofcourse program the arduino from scratch using the arduino ide. I was orginally going to use this board and convert my existing code that I had for a gottlieb flying carpet. However i decided that the cobrapin pinball controller was for me. I then transfer the code to the cobrapin pinball controller using the stm32duino ide works very well .Of course the key will be knowing what pins on the arduino connect to the external connectors for the cobrapin the designer gave me all the info i needed. If you search for gottlieb flying carpet cobrapin you can see what i have done. My code could be made available if needed.
