Has anyone been able to run this successfully on an MPU200? I only recall the posts where people had issues. I have a stable board I'm excited to try this on but would love to hear that it is working for someone with the same setup that I'll have.

Just installed Meteor 2021 last night (thanks @troxel). Love it!
I don't know if you're still making gradual changes to the code @dickhamill, but I do have two requests:
1. When in free play it would be nice if match was automatically disabled. I know it can be skipped by starting another game, but it makes sense for it to never start.
2. A timed ball search at 1 minute with no switch hits would be helpful. It is rare, but the few stuck balls I've had on Meteor are when a ball comes to rest over a dropped target. A ball search that activates all solenoids would knock the ball loose.
Unfortunately I'm too much of a code idiot to make these happen myself.
Quoted from Mathazar:If you raise the height of the drop targets while in their resting position, stuck balls in these areas can be eliminated completely.
It's true. I 3D printed some supports beneath my drops so it doesn't happen anymore. The old go-to for fixing a stuck ball was cycling the game off and on so the drops would reset. Less an issue for me and more thinking about features that might help someone out.
Doesn't the Alltek have a timing difference from the original that changes the pitch of the sounds? Thought I remembered that from somewhere.
Quoted from Robotworkshop:It does when running original code (Arduino shut off) but when the Arduino takes over that isn’t an issue.
Noticed the sounds on original code since my Meteor had an Alltek when I bought the game. Pulled that out and put in a clean MPU-200. I have a REV 2 Arduino upgrade plugged into the MPU-200
That's what I thought. For me that would be a discouragement to go the Alltek route.
Quoted from troxel:I sell the kit and just added the adapter cable that connects to the games speaker. Thanks to SlapDrain for help with the cable! This would be the easiest way to get it set up .

I use this cable. Couldn't have been easier.
Quoted from anathematize:I don't have a soldering iron handy (blasphemy, I know) so I was hoping to find something that is more plug-and-play if that makes sense.
I screwed mine into an old light switch and mounted it on the inside of the cab. No soldering.
