First thanks for all the hard work giving meteor some new life.
I attempted to build a board and tried to fire it up last night, but I ran into a similar issue as Robotworkshop above. I powered the game on, saw the new light show for a few second and then random coils fired for a few seconds, turned off the pin. I am using an original MPU-200 as well, so I will try the different timings, but if you happen to figure out the issue with yours Robotworkshop please let me know.
