Hi!

I bet someone has already created some solution for this, but I have not seen commercial options available:

I am wondering how to make a bluetooth transmitter work in a JJP machines and a Stern Spike 1 machine. I would not want to stick some battery-operated bluetooth transmitter to the minijack output that JJP offers, instead it should be inside the pinball machine and be powered by the pinball machine. Also I wonder how to connect one to Stern GB machine.

Any tips/advice? Thanks!

After some investigation, I guess it is just a matter of buying a BT-transmitter dongle, that takes power from USB and has a miniplug input to take audio in and then get some BT-headphones. That should work for Spike 1 machines and JJP atleast. Need to experiment how many different headphones could be connected to different pinball machines though.

Has anyone written up a walk-through on how to accomplish this? TIA
