Oh it's Spike? I checked IPDB before and it said it was a SAM game. Either way, it should be fine, just need a different daughterboard for the sensing.

Really great work on the topper integration, impressive stuff!!

I'm not really doing the other mods at the moment just because the GZ mods are so all consuming, but I'll make a note against your Lolly UFO order and I'm sure we can sort something out closer the time. Will be excited to see what you do with it!

New code!

(channelling my inner Stern)

GZ Tokyo Neon Sign mod v1.0.13

We'll be closing the list down for this at the end of the month, as we gear up to start assembly on our next mod, the GZ Lolly UFO. It's been an absolute blast. A lot of work, a lot of late nights - but super positive and energising at the same time.

Lollypops v1.5.6

There's been an increased interest in the venerable Lollypops board over the last few months. As part of the Lolly UFO work, we've been showcasing its talent of running multiple game triggered lightshows, and as a result, we're seeing modders pick up the torch and start incorporating it into their own mods. Super excited to see what people come up with. Expect to see it on two as-yet-unannounced 3rd party mods soon (GZ, DP).

Pinpoint v1.1

Like the Lollypops, our WPC sound sniffing Pinpoint board has started to find its groove among the modding community also, who are keen to test out its ability to directly monitor WPC game state and trigger lightshows. Three different projects are now using the board, so expect to see some toppers and mods released soon running the Pinpoint kit (TZ, DW)

Also, finally, documentation!

All new code includes:

* New AsyncWebServer build, increased WiFi stability and speed
* Firmware updates over WiFi
* Download settings fix

Hey Tim Fifty ! Good to hear from you mate.

Pinpoint is currently being trialled by 4 different mod makers around the globe. I'm really excited to see what they come up with! No plans for any SAM version at the moment. Porting to DE wouldn't be trivial I think (the bus is almost identical to WPC), but not sure about the SAM bus as I've never investigated it.

I know just the man to speak to. Ashram56 what do you know about the SAM bus?

Hey! Thought I'd post this as it's an interesting behind these scenes look at how I publish firmware. Well, interesting for me anyway

Most of the mods we do (and the third party stuff also) is all managed by a single "Lollypops" codebase. When I want to publish a new version of that firmware, I check the code into Github, which fires off an automated build process that compiles and runs tests on the code, for each of the various mods.

Here's a screenshot from the latest build we did to fix a triggering issue, showing how each firmware is compiled and tested separately, before being uploaded back onto github. Once published there, it's available for users to download directly onto their device.

This type of thing is called "continuous integration" in the software dev world, and it's a great way of removing the legwork from building and testing new releases.
