Arduino PinOne Controller

Description

This is an all in one pinball controller, based on the Arduino framework. It is designed for an arduino micro and also utilizes other chips for communication:

All of these components are easily purchased, so you can make your own board using them, or you can purchase a board from https://www.clevelandsoftwaredesign.com/pinball-parts

Without any of the above components, you can still use for a plunger input as well as 15 outputs, but the other button inputs will not work without 3 shift registers in place.

The board is also supported in DOF so that you can set it up as a device and allow games like Visual Pinball to send table events for solenoids, lights and other toys you might add to your cabinet.

Features

How to configure and test outputs

You can run the configuration tool here: https://github.com/philipellisis/virtual-pinball-board-configurator to test all the outputs as well as configure the board

How to build

The arduino IDE will build almost all of the application code for you, but there are a few imports you will need to make

Can I contribute?

Yes please! I am happy to entertain any contribution that you might have! Feel free to create a PR for me to review
