I know this isn't DOFlinx related but I started my hobby with DOFlinx and at this place but please move if not placed correctly.

 

I'm making good progress on my full sized cab and now want to add some nudge hardware. I was looking at the pinscape KL25Z board.

I don't need it for the plunger but want to add some left, right nudge.

My understanding is that board has its own accelerometer which would acknowledge any physical nudges once linked with software to pinball software.

 

If so and its placed centrally in a cabinet does it really acknowledge physical tables nudges accurately?

 

Anybody have experience with this?

I have a Pinscape setup.  I initially added it just for nudge in VPX.  It is wonderful in VPX.  I have added the ability to use it in DOFLinx too for FX3, not as good as in VPX, but still fun!

Cool, So is it just a case of locating the programmed board somewhere centrally in your cab and its built in accelerometer means you don't need other sensors?

@DDH69 -  I just bought a KL25Z as well.  Going to put Pinscape on it for VPX but would love to get it to work with FX3 too..     Do you have a setup guide on how to get it working with FX3 and DofLinx?     I currently am not using DofLinx at all in my cabinet.

Thanks,  I just downloaded the new 6.52 and saw there was a guide.

Mount it up near the front somewhere.  <edit>  front meaning closer to the coin door.

@mjr has diagrams in the Pinscape setup material, but as @STV says, upfront and central near your coin door is perfect.  Mine is right at the front just off centre to the right by about 10cm due to pre-existing structures.
