Holy crap, an update!

It took almost a year, but I've finally got those I2C LED driver boards built and tested (driven by an rpi). 16 individually-dimmable LED channels per board.

Looks like it should work fine. You'll probably want to insert tabs between your pieces when you run it through CAM so they don't start flapping about, but that's easy enough.

If someone finds/makes some plans for the box and whatnot for the vacuum former, I'll be happy to build it.

My #1 wishlist item: a truck.

Doesn't look like much has changed, but I've now got full lamp, coil and switch emulation, a graphics framework, and more.

PinOS!

Some of them show up quite faint, for some reason. Those are vias I had to place manually, probably the snap grid kept them from being "actually" connected, but it should (hopefully) be fine when manufactured. All the copper is in the right place. In related news, a 16x GPIO board! http://i.imgur.co...

Long time since the last update. I blew up the arduino when I shorted coil power into the switch matrix while soldering something under the playfield (d'oh!), and I haven't gotten much done construction-wise since then. Instead, I've decided to go back to the drawing board a little bit and build a m...

Oh, interesting...

Yeah, our wiki was poorly configured for a long time and quickly filled up with spam. We're in the process of setting up a new wiki from scratch with more paranoid spam protection. It's up and running, we just need to finish porting the useful content over.

M!
