PinOne Control Board
The PinOne board is a new offering to the pinball community! It is an open code project that is fully supported by the Arduino platform and is compiled and built on the atmega32u4 microchip. It also has a number of new offerings that are not currently available in Pinscape. For a full list of features, see the documentation. For the config tool, see here

Core Hardware Features
- Fully DOF and DOFLinx compatible board
- 31 outputs built into the board (20 PWM and 11 on/off outputs)
- 16 5v onboard PWM outputs are capable of providing low current outputs for LEDs and have current limiting resistors built in. No need for an additional power supply to run LED buttons as they are all powered by the USB power
- Using expansion boards can provide an additional 32 outputs for a total of 63 outputs
- 24 inputs for buttons and other devices
- Separate input for potentiometer based plunger
- High accuracy accelerometer and gyroscope for excellent nudge support
- Super low latency "0 delay" button encoder with <1ms data-preserve-html-node="true" delay
Software Enabled Features
- Full graphical utility tool for customizing and configuring the board for your system
- Up to 4 inputs can be assigned to activate any output, allowing for a lot of cool possibilities, but the main use case is to allow the flipper buttons to activate solenoids, so you can have full feedback without configuring any software at all
- There is a full "Light Show" embedded on the board, so even if you don't have DOF configured, you can still enjoy lights flashing and changing colors during game play.
- All outputs can have timed outputs enabled for auto shut off to protect your equipment
- All PWM outputs can have a timed "low output" state that ensures after a period of time that the outputs are turned down to a lower level
- All PWM outputs can have a configured maximum output level so you don't have to rely on external software to change the level of outputs
- Outputs can be configured for "Night Mode", allowing certain outputs to turn off when the night mode switch is activated
- Accelerometer has a dead zone tuning utility that allows you to capture the ideal dead zone to ignore while toys are activated to ensure there is never any nudge event set off by the toys in your cabinet
- Accelerometer can be configured to activate a button press when it reaches a certain level, effectively simulating a tilt bob via software
- Plunger can be configured to activate a button press when pushed in a certain level and also when extended to a certain level, allowing the plunger to be used normally to activate the fire button
