Folks,
I have finally released an open-source virtual pinball interface controller based on a Raspberry Pi Pico, LIS3SH accelerometer, and CircuitPython. This project is called 'Little Bang' and it is open source and cost around $10 USD in parts.
These are some of the features:
- 16 each low latency (5ms) button inputs using standard Keyboard HID
- X/Y accelerometer with 10 bit resolution @100 Hz sampling, with adjustable dead band (in software)
- Ball Plunger, 16 bit resolution @200 Hz sampling
- Two HID interfaces in one, GamePad and Keyboard
- Code is written in CircuitPython for easy maintainability
- Detailed instructions on how to assemble, load software, test, and implement
- Did I mention it is open source?
I am creating a side-hustle called 'Intense Arcade' that sells mini-sized pinball machines and parts and plan to expand my product line into pinball controller boards and I am using the open-source 'Little Bang' as a vehicle to give me and my brand some recognition. I should have a completed turnkey assembly for the Little Bang available for sale in a couple weeks.
Here are the files. Please enjoy!!!!
