These are the slides we used in our presentation with FAST Pinball at the Northwest Pinball Expo 2015 in Tacoma, Wash.

Transcript

1. FAST Pinball + Mission Pinball Framework Hardware and software for custom pinball machines
2. What is FAST Pinball all about?
3. We make hardware for pinball machines
4. We make hardware for pinball machines Controller boards and driver boards
5. We make hardware for pinball machines Controller boards and driver boards Completely modern, 2015 technology
6. The Core Controller
7. The driver boards 3208 1616
8. The driver boards, continued… 0804 Servo Daughter 0804
9. Other hardware… Smart Fuse Block Serial RGB LEDs
10. The Future Expanded Core Controller for WPC machines
11. There are machines using FAST / MPF at this show! From pinballnews.com
12. What is Mission Pinball all about?
13. What is Mission Pinball all about?
14. What is Mission Pinball all about? If you want to write your own rules for a pinball machine, you need our software.
15. What is Mission Pinball all about? If you want to write your own rules for a pinball machine, you need our software. It’s called the Mission Pinball Framework (MPF)
16. What is Mission Pinball all about? If you want to write your own rules for a pinball machine, you need our software. It’s called the Mission Pinball Framework (MPF) It’s 100% FREE and open source
17. What is Mission Pinball all about? If you want to write your own rules for a pinball machine, you need our software. It’s called the Mission Pinball Framework (MPF) It’s 100% FREE and open source Started work on MPF just over a year ago
18. What is Mission Pinball all about? If you want to write your own rules for a pinball machine, you need our software. It’s called the Mission Pinball Framework (MPF) It’s 100% FREE and open source Started work on MPF just over a year ago Can work with any controller hardware
19. What is MPF?
20. What is MPF? Started because we tried to build our own machine
21. What is MPF? Started because we tried to build our own machine Existing pinball platforms only did about 10% out of the box, meaning we spent more time coding than building
22. What is MPF? Started because we tried to build our own machine Existing pinball platforms only did about 10% out of the box, meaning we spent more time coding than building Decided that all the work we were doing could be made into a core platform that does 85% of the heavy lifting
23. What is MPF? Started because we tried to build our own machine Existing pinball platforms only did about 10% out of the box, meaning we spent more time coding than building Decided that all the work we were doing could be made into a core platform that does 85% of the heavy lifting We’re pretty far along, but we have a lot more to do
24. What is MPF?
25. What is MPF? You can use MPF to rewrite the rules for an existing machine or to run an entirely new machine
26. What is MPF? You can use MPF to rewrite the rules for an existing machine or to run an entirely new machine MPF is written in Python, but you don’t have to be a Python expert or even a programmer at all
27. What is MPF? You can use MPF to rewrite the rules for an existing machine or to run an entirely new machine MPF is written in Python, but you don’t have to be a Python expert or even a programmer at all Most of the game can be done in config files
28. What is MPF? You can use MPF to rewrite the rules for an existing machine or to run an entirely new machine MPF is written in Python, but you don’t have to be a Python expert or even a programmer at all Most of the game can be done in config files (You can write in Python if you want)
