    It's been a while since I looked, is LISY still only an option for the Linux or Raspi builds of PinMAME?

    The PICs are backordered on Digikey until May.

    Any recommended sources in the US?

    Not US but not the worst wait.

    10 items will ship on 22-Jan-2022 from Thailand and arrive on 25-Jan-2022

    Almost finished building a LISY1. The 74HCT595N for U5 and U6 is missing from the Digikey BOM spreadsheet, probably because it is NLA. Bought a bunch off Ebay.

    Quoted from bontango:

    There is a 595 in the lisy80 Digikey BOM which can be used.
    Thanks for the hint, I will update the LISY1 list ASAP.
    Also you should use the 74HC4050 from the lisy80 list NOT THE CD4050 from the lisy1 list (see note on LISY1 page )

    I already have the CD4050 installed, if I have problems I'll replace it. If you want to update the LISY1 list with CD74HC4050 the Digikey part # is 296-9213-5-ND.

    What causes a LISY1 to display SHUT and go into webcontrol?

    Had it happen mid game before, just happened in attract mode.

    Edit: Looks like the test button. Cabinet switch connector issue.

    Using a LISY1 board in my homebrew game and running into an issue. LISY1 is in serial slave and running a Pi Zero 2W. Windows 11 PC and latest release version of MPF.

    If LISY1 boots before Windows then MPF does not get a response for the RESET command and the game will not start. If Windows boots first or the USB cable is cycled then it will work. If it is working and I reboot the PC it will no longer work. It depends on if windows has made it to the login screen or desktop when the Green LED turns on.

    Appears MPF sees the COM port and is able to open it, but is not able to send data.

    Any ideas? Any commands I could send using a terminal program to test the serial comms?

    Quoted from songofsixpence:

    I've had a bit of a run of bad luck with SD cards. The cheap "Gigastone" I got from Amazon didn't work, and the SanDisk I got from my local Walmart also didn't work, so I reached out to bontango for which brand he prefers. His choice is the "Intenso" - but that's what Reichelt carries. It's not impossible to get Intenso in North America, but all the suppliers seem to be in Germany.
    I have decided to double-down and ordered several different brands from Ali-Express. It is my intention to update this post with my results with what works, or doesn't work.
    If anyone has any success for failure you would like to add, please let us know. -dave

    I've been using Micro Center SD cards from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B09MC27F2V/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title

    Quoted from bontango:

    RatShack was your recommendation for 'FA' or 'LISY' projects?

    LISY. Thanks for clearing that up.
