I haven't seen much activity on this list for a while, but hopefully there's still interest in custom pinball machine development!
FYI - I'll be presenting a seminar on March 24th around 4:00pm at the Texas Pinball Festival. The topic is Custom Pinball Machine Control Systems, and I'll describe and then demonstrate how to control a pinball machine with a P-ROC and PinballControllers.com Driver Boards.
If you haven't yet heard about our driver boards (PDBs), they are small boards that can each drive a set of features on your machine. The PD-16 can drive up to 16 features (coils, magnets, motors, flashlamps, etc), and the PD-8x8 can drive an 8x8 lamp matrix. Mix and match boards to build the exact control system your machine needs.
Even more exciting, I'll be bringing the prototype P^3 custom machine for people to play. This machine is the realization of my vision for the future of pinball. I think I can safely say its feature set is more technically advanced than any machine I know about, including those that are yet to be released.
I'll look forward to seeing some of you there!
