I’ve been busy, made splash screens for most of the bally and stern games.
Created a test rig, so i can test various games, eg stern and bally.
been testing stern game code, all seems to work fine (after i fixed an issue last week)
got one guy in usa who cant get his displays working in some of his stern games, so investigating that with him. It’s confusing as it works in one of his sterns……
I’ve added some new features, eg list cycle mode, so can choose a list of fonts to use instead of all fonts.
now working on some other enhancements and also hardware refinements to make building easier. still waiting on parts to be able to ship more kits….

Made a dedicated 4 display board for the “Credit / match / ball in play” display, rather than using an ordinary 6 way. It just looks nicer! (and is about 10p cheaper to make

Life just got a whole lot easier, the base controller board I've now had fully made up, with all components and headers pre-soldered in the factory. Makes construction a heck of a lot easier. Still also got through-hole boards for those who prefer that approach.
Do we need to call him Djinn Alan now them?
Oh my, I don't know how I missed these coming along!
What with these and the Geeteoh sound boards that I've also just discovered, I now *need* to somehow generate a spare £500 quid!
Better stop browsing pinball and get back to the paid job...

I'm going to do another limited run of these in the new year. 50 displays. Each game needs 5 displays, so 10 sets.
Everything comes pre-soldered, you just need to plug in and glue/tape the colour displays to the pcb.
Options are: 6 or 7 digit players score display and 4 digit for the credit/match/ball-in-play display.
Best price to forum members is £38 per display plus postage. That compares favorably with the prices other vendors are charging for a single colour display these days.
DM me if you want to buy.
Thanks,
Alan
