OK, found the adapter on Steve website.

I was also told that Pinsound adapter does work, and since I have a Pinsound in my LOTR I already have the cable.

So next question is: as I intend to replace Pinsound with TiltAudio in my LOTR (primarily because P...d is completely closed and does not allow to hook up on their expansion port, despite the fact it's present, that they are using community orchestration for Shakers - so called shakerization - but obfuscate them and integrate them into their firmware without giving credit to the original authors, etc), I already have the cable so don't need an extra one.

So which kit can I order to get Whitestar support ? I'm assuming WPC ?

Hardware only orders? Still going to be ok to use PayPal for licenses as needed?

Im just waiting on a few things to start selling boards to US people. I have enough for one Williams kit currently with what I had sitting here. If someone is interested, let me know and I can sell that. Hopefully the rest of the stuff will be here soon. I'm having huge issues with sellers claiming they shipped something, then after asking them about it, they claim "it must have been lost, we will resend."

On the boards V2.5c through V2.5d and V2.6a did the values of R1, R2, and R3 change? On the V2.6a board R1 is 1K and R2/R3 are 10K. Should the earlier boards also have those values? If so it looks like someone messed up the used V2.5c board that I bought and put in the wrong resistors. I can easily swap them out but want to confirm what values are best on that board.

Thank you. Who ever built the one board had installed 1.8K resistors in all spots. I just changed them out so now all the boards are the same.

Are these the 2 boards I sent you ? They were kits I bought.

Nope. It was an earlier board that I got from someone else. I noticed those values were different when working on the newer boards.

Used the two boards I got from you and rebuilt one really nice board using the latest matching chips for the I/O. Tests good on the bench and just need to try it in a game.

I've got enough boards now to cover all the machined I'd want to use them in.

Cool ! Is there a particular version of the microcontroller that is needed ?
STM32F411CE, STM32F401, STM32F411, STM32F4 ... or are they all the same ?

PS. I have 5 x 3.0 boards with SMD assembled for sale now ...

Nice work,

What's cool with this module approach is that you can use headers instead of soldering directly, which means you can easily replace one module if needs be

In case you US people are looking for kits, I have just listed the 4 kits I have in the pinside shop. I finally got all the stuff to get the 3.0 kits out for Williams (data east would need the ADC, if you want to use in in a DE, let me know and I can include the other connectors at least). I will also take care of soldering on the SMD's for you if you would like me to no charge. Here is the link to them: https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1180-slap-save-creations/05007-tiltaudio-sound-board

I will be ordering the stuff for 3.5 kits (I already have all the components on the way, but I need to order the boards still), but its going to take a few weeks before the boards are ready. Hopefully going forward, Ill have enough stuff on hand to keep a steady supply for everyone who wants them

Ive noticed in version 1.33 the web gui language selection was introduced, german was default. It possible to change to english but its not saved. Is this something to be changed in future releases?

Great product btw.

Ah that's a cookie on the local machine, that explains why it does not stick for me either. I believe I have a reinforced security setting enabled by default for cookies, will have to check (if I can recall where in the world this is located)

Heh, I noticed the same thing. Was wondering what was up with that.

I bought a kit a few months ago almost done finally building it and see that the new revision fixed the sound interface issue on wpc which I really could use since I have a Pin2dmd which doesn’t like credit dot and will mess up the colors. (It looks like the hardware revision is what fixes the sound error)Anyone want to buy a mostly assembled 3.0 in the US so I can buy a 3.5

I have good news and some bad news. First the good news! I received the 3.5 boards I ordered and put them up in my shop ( https://pinside.com/pinball/market/shops/1180-slap-save-creations/05007-tiltaudio-sound-board ). There are 2 options. One is the regular full kit. This includes everything needed to get going except a pi and SD card. It even includes the OLED display (I feel that really helpful for troubleshooting, so its worth just including it). The second option is an "upgrade" kit. This is for those of you with a 3.0/3.1 board already who want to get a newer board. This basically strips out the expensive things and makes you remove them from your old board.

Now the bad news. The silk layer in the files was wrong and I didn't catch it before I ordered the boards. So some of the writing is missing. Functionally, this makes no difference, but you will definitely need to refer to a diagram for assembly. Ill include one in the kits I sell. Im also in the middle of setting up a wiki with some info in it to supplement the excellent info Steve has on his website, and it will be located there as well.

I also added an option to have me assemble the board for you for an additional fee. All you need to do is pop in a pi with the image on it and away you go!

If anyone has any questions, please let me know. There are pictures of the kits and a general idea of placement of the components on the store page.

As long as you have clear assembly instructions with pictures then the missing silkscreen items shouldn't be a problem. Silk screen is a really nice to have but not a requirement.

Has anyone tried this on a DE Guns N Roses? I assume it would work. I have three Pinsound cards currently but would consider giving this a try. Thanks.

Just wanted to mention I have added a wiki to my website with some helpful notes to supplement the excellent info that Steve has on his website. Eventually, I would love to get a list of modifications to the sound sets for every game, so that people know what to apply where to make it sound like the original (ideally this would either be for the already available altsound version or a customized one that goes along with it). That way its easier to get up and running with a board. If you have something you would like me to add, please let me know!

I think I read somewhere you could change the boot chime with a custom wave-file. Is this doable via the GUI or do you have to do this via ssh to the PI? If so... where in the folder structure is the boot.wav file located?

Just put the SD-card in a USB reader and do a file search for ogg-files perhaps ?
I think that is the format used.
If not, something like "chime" or similar might be found.

steve45 : Thanks for adding the fadeout setting for stop commands. Could you describe how/what the number does ? Is it seconds ?

A few notes from a user perspective :
- in 1.33, the "latest version" was named "unknown" but when clicked downloaded the 1.34 update
- after updating, I had to change sound card to get sound back
- perhaps the language setting could be stored server side ? I hardly think there are many user cases where more than one user with different language preferences connect to the same TiltAudio card.

I agree. I cannot for the life of me get the setting to stick, even on different devices.

I have a favor to ask. If you are running a tiltaudio card, can you tell me which soundset you used (a link to it would be icing, but not totally necessary) and what issues you had with sounds? (fixed or unfixed) If you could send me your config file, even better! I would like to compile a settings list for each game in my wiki, so people know how to setup each soundset. You can respond here or PM me. Either way, I really appreciate it. Why should everyone work through the same issues on their own if we can hivemind it and get things fixed is my thought.

To start, Im using the altsound fishtales mix (http://altsound.vpin24.com/). There are quite a few issues with sounds ducking correctly, and with some sounds running too long. Im currently trying to rework the altsound csv as much as possible to fix the issues that can be fixed inside of altsound (so it just "works" for others). Ill also have a link to my config file eventually for the other stuff. Im working on like 30 things right now, so its slow progression.

Hi. I really love this project.
Just bought and assembled 3.5 but unfortunately, cant make it to work.

To be honest, manuals (assembly and software installation) are very un-clear and are missing many details.

Assembly:
-no clear info about R3 some pictures shows it present, some not

Software:
-it's not clearly explained if altsounds must be left in zip or unzipped and if it makes any difference when ROM version of the machine corresponds with altsound rom number/name
- (ad3) no clear info how and where to place update file. If it should be unzipped and if the folder inside should be left of just files copied to the update folder on RPI
- (ad4) "Open the raspisound.ini file in the data/sound diectory..." - there is no such a file so I guess it needs to be created. Does it need to contain any other info that vendor number?
- (ad5) is speaker's connector modification nescessary if I want to keep it original with mono sound or it wont play at all?

For some reason, Im not getting any sounds
WiFi is very intermittent and disconnects after few seconds.
Its also unclear which audio device needs to be selected for speakers output.

Hopefully, someone can take me through the process.

Many Thanks!

Thanks for really quick reply.

I've managed to sort out most of the things last night.

At the moment it works but only through BT headphones (love it! )

I didn't get any capacitors and coils for the amps section so I guess they are not necessary. Some of the photos shows L1-L6 bridged, so I've done that. R3 removed.

Still no sound through speakers (one currently connected for testing). Also no sound from DAC jack, so my guess is wrong sound device selected (first from the list).

Any idea what can be a problem?

Edit: I've also soldered all of DAC pins. Is that correct or some of them.should be removed?

steve45 Do you have to use a Arduino mini pro for the LED mods or can you use a Nano/Uno ?

Or this

Based On a Leonardo which I use for other LED projects

Thank you Steve. Ill give it another go tonight and let you know.

Finally all up and running and it sounds AWESOME!!! Still need to get new speakers for the backbox.

7th sound device from the top works for me at the moment. Ill test the rest later but Im not sure if there is any point.

I've got one, last problem now. For some reason my .key file is not being accepted. I've placed it in the folder. When trying to load it through WebUi it says that the license is not valid.

steve45 Do I need a LUA licence to test the commands I can`t get your speaker LEDs script to test.

Arduino Script running ok through LED patterns
Arduino Leonardo/Canbus SDA SCL connected to Pi SDA SCL
init.lua script put in \data\audio\getaway\init.lua (with a windows PC using notepad)

SDA - Pin2 - D2
SCL - Pin3 - D3

Would it be possible to be able to choose different songs to play for the background music when you start a game? IE like say a modern Stern like Metallica where you can choose your song and then plunge.

I'm thinking for Hurricane you could choose the normal music or choose something like a classic carnival music lol I know I could add additional soundpacks with the different background music but it would be nice if each player could choose.

Yeah I was going to type that in like adding an extra set of leafs to the flipper switches and wiring to go back to the pie somehow. Seemed plausible if the switches were added. I'll have to take a look on how to do that with a udp network.

In my BOP 2.0 they somehow programed into the PROC board the ability to change lanes without the extra leaf. Not sure how they did that though.

The PROC replaces the CPU which controls all peripherals like switches, solenoids, lamps etc. Tiltaudio replaces the soundboard which receives sound commands from the CPU and that´s it.
