G'Day Trend Setters,

 

Building my first Virtual Pinball machine and to save some time I want to buy a pre-made controller.

 

I was thinking this:

The Pinscape Pico and associated expansion boards.

 

My understanding is I purchase a Raspberry Pi Pico, flash it and addd this to the setup.

 

Is this a good choice?

It looks legit to me.  That ENIG finish is extra fancy too.   I was hoping that someone in Oz would take the initiative and have some boards ordered for sale there, as it is wickedly expensive to ship PCB from the East coast of USA to Oz.  I have 6 sets of Pico boards still remaining.  If I order another batch, it would be great if I could split the shipment and cost with someone down under to sell there locally.  BTW- I have a Pinscape Pico Jr.  Board that would be a quick DIY project (shameless plug).  The board has 24 inputs, Accelerometer,  High performance ADC, and expansion port (compatible with the Pinscape Pico Power Expansion Board) and 16 PWM output channels.  If you or anyone else wants to order boards through a Chinese PCB house, I will upload the gerbers (PCB fab files) to my GitHub page. 

 

Regards,
