I just bought a Genie with one of these. Looking forward to doing some experimentation. I have a Pi3B I could put in instead of the Pi Zero. Looks like I'll need some kind of header extension though.
Just beginning to mess around with MPF. I should probably get the machine in my house and set up first though!

I would love that! Of course now I've got the game in my house and I think I fried the Pi Zero by putting it in with the pins off.
I'm trying it with my older Pi 3 and the Pi boots, looks like it's going to load up Genie, then throws a "No IP Check Eth 0 WLan 0" and the Green LISY light never comes on on the board. Any thoughts?

I knew I shouldn't have pulled out the Zero but I wanted to backup the SD card first.

Well it started working on the third attempt and has been fine since, except once when I pushed the play/test button in the coin door and it went back to that error. Well at least I can play now!!

Thanks! I'm definitely not that far yet I'm still trying to change the virtual dipswitches in LISY to see if I can change it from 3 ball to 5 ball.

Update: After the 4th attempt I figured out the CSV files and can now play 5 ball if I want.

Ok, I've got mine up and running with a Pi Zero W. I accidentally ordered a Pi Zero, and it worked fine, but I want to network this thing.

Anyone successfully connect one of these wirelessly? I just want to start simple with LISY control and then I'll move on to MPF.

I've changed the SSID and PSK in the lisy/interfaces file, but I just can't get it to connect. I tried setting a static IP, which works according to the PI but it's still not joining the network. Is there anyway to troubleshoot this?

I probably should've ordered a mini HDMI to HDMI adapter or a mini-USB to Ethernet adapter.

Thanks. I thought about just buying a dongle but that and an adapter seemed like it end up more than the pi zero W.

I’ll try the ad hoc, I just need to find a jumper to activate it on the board. (Right? It’s not a software setting)

Ok cool, I'm definitely on 4.10. Time to look for a hard drive jumper tonight.

I need one of the little jumpers to bridge the pins on the LISY board to activate Ad-Hoc mode, correct? I've seen them on hard drives so I was going to steal one instead of ordering a 17 cent part.
