Quoted from pinballrockstar:We had this stupid problem,we used up almost all the servo connections on the pololu controller...
I will have a look at the Maestro Code tomorrow. Do you already have a second board?
Quoted from bssbllr:Awesome thanks again!!!
Cheers buddy 
Quoted from swinks:see you next year guys, another productive night, thanks for the entertainment
Thanks so much brother Swinks

I have 2 of em but i can’t connect them,i have no clue how to 
Quoted from aobrien5:Looks amazing, guys! You going to be able to fold the head down with all that plumbing for the smoke?
It was never a fold down head,it comes off when transported for shows..

Should work in MPF dev. We can probably backport it to 0.52 if you do not want to use dev.

Yeah i found those docs too but i failed to get it working.
The other board doesn’t have blinking leds so i guess it is not doing anything?
Plus i don’t know how to call the servos on the following board in mpf..if i connect 2 x 24 servo board in a chain , do you call the first connection on the second board simply servo 25?
I have no feeling with connecting computer stuff,if i have one thing working,i get the rest working but the road up to that point is always frustrating to me.
Making all kinds of connections,sometimes frying stuff(wrong connection)..
You know, our followers think i am supersmart ,and i want them to keep thinking that 
but with these 2 pinball builds i’ve actually just been in a 5 year horrible struggle understanding electronics and code.
But i’m trying to hold on...i am the pinballrockstar,gotta live up to the name

You are doing great! Watching you work through all the problems and issues as you learn has not only been great fun to follow, but is a great way for all of us to learn a thing or too (actually a lot!). Keep it up!

Thanks buddy,appreciate it 
Quoted from Gregc:try CTRL +F then type then on tab choose select and you will have a replace all[quoted image]
Ok let’s see if i can change these 4 “ball started” in the word “titties”... it’s just a test people..
image (resized).jpgYes!!! Thanks so much man!!!
Oooooh this saves me so much work dude!!!
Our modes are different colors and very very often i need to change a show to a different color,i knew there was a way to replace all the words!! Cuz like...why would all the words be highlighted??
So it was frustrating converting a show...cutting,pasting and typing while knowing there is an easy way!
Man i can’t thank you enuff
Big Dutch bro hug!

I works like fast mode boards. Servo number becomes board_id-servo_index. You probably have to set different IDs to your boards using the pololu tool. I don't own a Maestro. Maybe I should buy two to test this.

Maybe you could've started with something simpler ?

Yeah i am trying to build the pin on 24 servos(the largest pololu) cuz i can’t get it to work

Yup,we are insane,there is too much stuff in this machine the code is getting too big to understand 
Quoted from PinPatch:When are the titties coming out...?
I asked my wife just that!! For real !!

Hey thanks man!
We are extremely happy with it cuz we actually don’t own it yet

We have this sign in the front,in hindsight i like your idea better
image (resized).jpgDick is swapping some leds that are burned,something terrible happened last week,i fried the nano controller in the dumbest way while vacuuming the cab...i connected the 50 volts to the 5 volts circuit and it instantly set the nano controller on fire.
I wanted to solve it really fast cuz i am kinda in a good flow of coding and if you stop that for 2 weeks,you have a hard time starting on it again.
So i contacted Aaron at FAST and he shipped the nano with fedex on friday...
