From the project
Pinball retro afterglow
This is the newest generation of afterglow boards for the switched playfield lamps (not the GI), supporting WPC, Data East, System 11 and Stern Whitestar/S.A.M. games.
The new board is based on the RP2040 microprocessor. It is more robust than previous versions and it supports hats!
Components were chosen based on availability and price.
The connectors and some other parts are currently not included in the assembly files.
