Quoted from Robotworkshop:

You shouldn’t need that extra lead on an Alltek. Only the Bally -17 or -35 boards need it.

Yes, I will update the instructions for Alltek users, thanks.

Has anyone tried the new code on a FG that uses the Sounds Plus and Vocalizer boards? If the original 6800 game software is the same for the SP/V units, it would make sense that the Arduino code written for the S&T would work with SP/V as well, but I don't have a SP/V to actually test it.

Quoted from digitaldocc:

It's the roygbev turnkey solution. I didn't load it but I'm sure he used the same files as all of you. It has the usb port on the mega. Maybe I can just upload all the scripts again to rule out some kind of corruption?

I'm happy to help any way that I can.

Quoted from digitaldocc:

Having spent a long time tracing the extensive code written by Tim and Dick I really need to mention how appreciative I am for all the hard work and love they put into this project.
By the way I'm ready to start tinkering with GPIO communication between the Arduino and a pi. Hoping to trigger video clips on the pi. Has anyone tried such a thing in this ecosystem? I know there is groundwork on the pi for programming triggerable video clips out there in a google search. Just haven't tried anything yet.
Quick google search using "raspberry pi video trigger"

Yes, I wouldn't have a pinside shop if it wasn't for Tim and Dick and a couple of other folks.

I've used OMXplayer to trigger video clips from a Pi using key presses, from both a shell script and Python, for TV sets used in stage productions. (The Pi can output old-timey composite NTSC for an old TV, as well as newer formats). It can start and stop video instantly on my model 4 Raspberry Pis, and switch seamlessly from one video to the next. Very cool. Using GPIO triggering instead of the keyboard should be straightforward.
