Flipper Assembly

If you want to install real solenoids , this is very loud. They are also extremely resistant. I never blew one of those. They can operate ferom 24V to 50V.

i recommend those. I have them and used them. If you want loud flipper noise, here's your bad boy.

Mine is connected to 24v and it is still extremely loud. 

ALED WS2812B

There are no specific branding on the addressable LED. I ordered them on Aliexpress, Amazon or Ebay, The quality seems the same to me. 

If you want lights going up and down your playfield, different colour animations , even a custom made dot matrix. This is the ALED you need.

Arnoz Pinmos

If you want to connect Addressable led to your cab, you need this. This makes it easy to connect your ALED and configure the software. 

I am currently using this in my cabinet and i have to say, it makes things a lot simpler. You can order it with a Pinmos or Teensy. I opted for the Pinmos but apparently differences between both are almost non existant.

Stern Shaker Kit

When it comes to shaking your table, nothing can equal a real Pinball shaker. I am using a stern and i am very happy with it. 

When installing this, you might want to add a motor voltage control knob as it will allow you to reduce the intensity manually.

If all you are interested is adding a 5 RGB flashbar and connect your buttons, this is the perfect controller for you. 

I used several LEDwiz over the years on different projects and this board has never failed me. 

​

If you don't need 16 ports for connecting buttons, pick the other LEDWIZ version with 32 outputs for your LED
