Stangx,

Thanks. I'm actually pulling the Skeeball out of the basement this weekend, and am working on the new scoring board. I'll be routing the slots for the optical sensors, so I should be able to start adding support in the next few weeks.

The optical sensors will allow me to add support for a lot more game modes. Ideally I want to get LEDs installed as well, which really opens up possibilities.

Like stangx above, I just purchased a non-working skee-ball machine and I've been trying to decide on how to proceed. I would LOVE to have the setup you're working on, but would need some help getting it started. I have a raspberry pi and arduino I could salvage from another project, but would definitely need some guidance on setup. Count me in!

stangx:
That is great news nipsmg. I have all ready swapped out lane lighting to led. blue tooth controlled and sound activated. I ordered a led wiz, so all other lighting will be controlled by it. Looking forward to seeing more on your project. :cheers:

RW, I haven't gotten MonoGame to run on a RaspberryPi hardware accelerated.. yet. Apparently it can be done, but I've had a lot of trouble getting it working. Apparently OpenAL doesn't work, so you have to either use ALSA or compile an OpenAL library directly. There's a thread about it on reddit and on the monogame community forums.

If someone can figure out how to get it set up on RPI for me and give me an image, I'd be happy to be sure it runs properly on that platform.

RW:
I've got a spare laptop, as well as an older desktop, I could use to test for you. I spent the day today troubleshooting since I've only had this thing for less than a week. Even if I can get it working, I'd swap out the insides to this project in a minute.
