not an arduio but similar.
Just a simple microcontroller and a decoder/multiplexer

Looks nice. How easy would it be to change what's on the mini display?

It's not that easy but possible....something on your mind ?
Yes. I really like this mod, and love the arrows and LOCK message.And I know you make top quality stuff having bought from you in the past!
But I think it is let down by what it displays when the lock light is not lit. Most of the time the lock light is not lit, and the dots and cross display is a bit boring. If that could be made a bit more interesting then I think this would be a great mod.
I'll PM you with some ideas, and maybe they would be possible....
Cheers!

I know what you mean.
At first it was my idea to display something like a speed limit. (50 MPH).
If lock is not lit, I can switch the dots and X after about 10 times with something else
Suggestion anybody ?
Don't be afraid....I won't bite !!

Does the dots and x have to be there at all? Why 10 seconds before they can be changed?
Anyway, the obvious thing would be if the sign could alternate the words ROAD and SHOW, which would match the ROAD SHOW in lights on the backglass and on the speaker panel.
Or maybe a roadworks road sign? Or alternating Red [heart symbol] Ted. Or something else from the backglass or playfield like STOP NOW
Would any of those be possible instead of the dots and X?
Dank je wel!

I think that's possible.
I'm gonna give it a try next week

Cool stuff. Looking forward to seeing ŵhat you come up with!
When playing Roadshow what you need to know is which City matches the stuff that you collect. For example, the suntan lotion matches Miami. Could this display say "Miami = suntan lotion" etc etc?
