Latest information on using LISY35 for Stern pinball games: I got a message telling that me that all Stern Games do control the soundboard via connector 'J5'.

 J5 is not available with LISY35!.

So you can use LISY35 to control your Stern pinball but cannot use the original Soundboard. For Sound you have to use LISY35 Soundcard (with 'wav' files) instead.

I always interested in feedback, just send me a mail.

Hardware Version 1.6

PIC Software is included in the LISY Image and can be programmed to the PICs via an integrated PIC programmer.

For ordering your PCB, look at my PCB section.

If you want to save time, have a look to LISY35-SMD where I do provide all data to order a PCB where most of the components are SMD, giving you the ability to let do the Assembly by your PCB manufacturer.

important notes

In the Reichelt shop cart there is a MOS4050 listed for IC4. To ensure good switch detection better use a 74HC4050!

I have feedback from severall users reporting damaged SD cards after 2 weeks or so. At the moment I think thats because of poor quality of Intenso SD cards (which I have in my shop card). I do recommend spend a few bucks more and choose SD cards from e.g. Verbatim or Kingston instead.

Pin Headers in the Reichelt shop cart have 11mm height. For better contact use Pin Headers from Digikey with 13 mm height. Digikey Part: WM50017-36-ND
