F yea! Now this is a music pin I could get behind as it has made my "dream pin" list.
Already following...

Can't wait to see what you come up with Matt pink floyd Is a great theme.

Sure I would be happy to help with rules.

Following!

So many possibilities.

Using the track Time.

Hit the center targets 3 x each and then have a huge jackpot that counts down ( similar to IM ) , that must be collected by making the spinner shot.

OK,well,be sure to listen to early PF,like "The Piper at the gates of dawn: you better Watch out for that ax Eugene!!!!

With a Syd Barrett mode for some psychedelic fun Baby Lemonade, Octopus and See Emily Play, for example.

Now, Pink Floyd is a music pin I would happily consider buying. The problem is, you would want to play just one game and it would go on for 25 minutes

I will certainly be following this. Pink Floyd is one of my all time favorite bands. Just saw Brit Floyd Sat night. Ive see them every time they come to my area. They were amazing as usual. If you have never heard of them then you should check them out.

Awesome! We’d love to see a theme like this come to life!

You can use anything that can make a highspeed serial connection. Most people use a laptop while developing their game. It is really better to develop with a pc that would ultimately be more than your game needs, then find the computing hardware that will be good for your “finished” game. Often people fixated on trying to find the best micropc on day one. Use a laptop or what you have around and reduce later when you know your resource needs more clearly.

In case you want to go with the Mission Pinball Framework (https://missionpinball.org/) there is some documentation about this topic: http://docs.missionpinball.org/en/dev/hardware/computer/index.html

P3-ROC is cheaper than FAST and is well supported. I'm just saying.

Gonna have to follow this thread. A Dark Side of the Moon pin would be awesome!!!! Maybe those Clare Torry vocal portions from The Great Gig in the Sky could be included for reaching a certain goal or level.

So I'm a bit of a computer nerd but I used a raspberry pi and a couple arduino's to run mine and then used a PD-16 to drive the solenoids. It was for a conversion from an old EM Chicago Coin Royal Flash that was ratted out to solid state. The pi gave me an HDMI out to do my backglass as a TV which works pretty well and gave some fun adventures and the potential of future expansion once the kids get a bit older! It kept it pretty cheap since it was 50 for the arduinos and pi and they drove the lights (1 arduino) the solenoids and switches(1 arduino with i/o expansion) and the raspberry pi(coordinating lights, solenoids, scoring, game control, and display).

No, no...
use her vocal clips for drains
But could you use different clips for say right/left drains and sdtm drains?
Not sure if doable but just the thought of her ultra emotional clips sounding out at a drain has me cracking up! Would be awesome!

Sounds like a great project, Matt.

Let me know if you need any parts.

The P3-ROC has 64 switch inputs built-in - you don't need the SW-16 boards.

Please say your not using that effen playfield for DSOTM you can do so much better...please please start again.

Good idea for a re-theme. I will be monitoring your progress.

Don't be daft.

Evaporust is great. But clean the parts first!

This getting anywhere? Following

To b fair both proc and fast are pretty similar — if you’re planning on a bunch of lights though I do believe you need a bunch of light driver boards with proc vs fast which supports 256 addressable leds off the bat. Yes they are serial chained in groups of 64 but I’ve not heard of any issues with them thus far. price comparisons should factor this in.

Either way, both good systems have good support. Gerry is super communicative and helpful at multimorphic and Aaron from fast has priority mailed me a new board hours after I blew it up. Both systems have slack channels with active communities providing advice and support.

Can’t go wrong either way really. Good luck with the project!

When making pinball, you can’t afford to lose a single weekend!

The proc PD-LED boards in addition to direct driving rgb or single color lights also do chains of serial leds, don't know the number off the top of my head but it's pretty big.

The main difference I found for me in comparing costs of the two was the different combinations of boards needed for each due to switch and coil counts, but for the couple projects I've done comparisons for cost wise they come out pretty close to the same.

Hey whatever happened to this Dumpster Fire of a game???
