Quoted from Cheddar:I have a switch matrix controller for Arduino that got me thinking. I wonder if it would be possible to do a circuit that would allow duplicate reading of the mpus switch matrix. I.e. a second switch matrix with pass through.
This would allow the tandem matrix to be plug into the original headers and would allow switch based actions to be performed without any piggyback switches.
The trick would be doing it without adding any latency to the original signal.
Thoughts? Already been done?
I'd also be very interested in this.
I think the only reasonable thing is just replacing all of the switches with these:

And then creating a redundant switch matrix, or only swapping a few without it.
Depending on the game you could have the flipper power trigger a relay to trigger another relay controlled by a insert light, that way attract mode wouldn't trigger whatever your trying to control.
