Sweeet!

Expo was a lot of fun.  The seminar went well, and the response we got to the P-ROC was excellent.  We should have the video edited in a week or two, and I'll post a link to it as soon as possible.

In the meantime, check out this video.  We've been helping the guys at Dutch Pinball for a while now with their P-ROC project, and they were kind enough to put the video together for our P-ROC seminar at Expo.  What they've been able to create is incredibly impressive!

all i can say is WOW that IS impressive. if i wasn't such a non-programmer kind of person, i'd certainly like to try.

Our seminar video is posted.  It's broken up into 6 parts:

Hi everybody,

We started selling our new driver boards a few weeks ago.  So now we can supply custom designers with an entire machine control system (P-ROC, driver boards, and even high voltage power supplies and LED DMDs).  See our new product demo video here:

How close are you to being able to drive an existing machine with the existing solenoid/power?  The real win is going to be when I can take the expensive and failure prone boards out of a Black Knight and make it reliable via a PC.

The P-ROC board has been used to replace the original CPU board in existing machine for a couple of years now (and run the original code through the P-ROC via pinmame).  This works directly in WPC and Stern Whitestar/SAM machines.  For older machines, some customers have built interface boards that sit between the P-ROC and original boards.

Is that what you were asking?

You could also learn to solder and replace the interconnects.  Made a Firepower dead reliable for me....





once I got an MPU that worked.

 

That's the thing.  Some of those MPU boards are fixed that way.  Others are just all FUBARed and it would be better to use something like this to replicate one instead.
