My 1st mod to my 1st pin! Backbox speakers were upgraded to Kickers. The 8” was upgraded to Boss. I made the adapters with my 3D printer from my own CAD. The light show is Neopixel strips driven by an Arduino Nano. I’m pretty pleased with how it turned out.

Ideally, I’d figure out a way to sync the color of the LEDs to the game mode. I don’t know exactly how to get there, though. Theoretically, I could tie-in to the Enforcer button LED and use interrupts to capture the RGB mix. In reality, that’s probably way harder than it sounds. It’s blinking, too, so there’s that…

Thanks! They are 100% DIY. It’s nothing exotic, though, just WS2812B LED strips (144/m) that you can get from Adafruit or Amazon, etc. The Pinduino could definitely drive them.

I looked into Pinduino a little, and it’s a nicely polished platform to help people do basically what I did on my own. It looks like he is using playfield switches as triggers for lighting effects. I can do that, but it what I really want is to tap into the software so I can detect what game mode you are playing. The next best thing I could come up with is monitoring the Haydron Enforcer button LED. During mode-select, it flashes the color associated with the mode. When the Enforcer “goes live” I think it only ever flashes yellow, which isn’t ideal, but I can’t think of another single LED that reflects the mode colors as well.

Only 3 wires! 5V, Ground, Data.

Sadly, my orb plastic blew up just a couple days ago. Scared the %$#& out of my wife when the ball hit the glass.

GOTG is now out of production. If there are additional code releases, I wouldn’t expect any changes beyond Insider Connected features or fixes. The callouts/music/assets haven’t changed in a very long time.

Most likely cause is the switches in the slingshots just need slight adjustment. Over time the contacts can get closer together making them too sensitive. Switching on and off could just be placebo. Take off the glass and try banging the playfield with your hand. See if the vibration will fire the slings.

Did you check in settings that the shaker motor is set to “maximum effect”?
