13 pin Molex breakout board designed specifically for Bally’s / Williams style coin doors with coin button LEDs. Designed for mechanical and virtual pinball machines, or other arcade machines that utilize this coin door that would require a retrofit solution for old or DIY projects. Allows interconnectivity with inputs and lamps from the coin door to a microcontroller (arduino, KL25Z input / output board, Teensy, etc.), without having to solder, cut, or modify the factory Molex connector or it’s wiring.

Board is designed to use 0.1 pitch 2X7 pin header. Power can be supplied via header, or screw terminal. Board isolates lamp power for use with 6.3v incandescent or 5v LED lamps, separate from input/output logic from microcontrollers that may use different logic voltages. The use of a jumper on pins 1 & 3 will tie grounds together if using a 5v power source for both LEDs and Microcontroller logic.

WARNING: board does NOT have reverse polarity protection.

Requires the following: 1 26-60-4130 Molex (13 pin through hole) Terminal Block - 2-pin 3.5mm 0.1 pin headers (2x7)

Auxiliary controller shield for aftermarket head units. Requires Arduino compatible microcontroller.

For use with turning on Ford factory installed subwoofer amplifiers that use 5V remote switching instead of the 12v supplied by aftermarket head units. Also adds ambient lighting controls and parking brake detection bypass capabilities for aftermarket stereo head units with video screens/settings editing that require parking brake to be set to proceed.

Features:

• Parking brake emulation via relay, (to access video and settings normally disabled when parking brake is not set)
• Delayed 5v Amplifier remote signal, (used to eliminate “sub pop” when vehicle is turned on
• Adds the ability to add and control ambient lighting using adafruit’s NeoPixels, or equivalent. (Emulates Ford Sync ambient lighting)

  Supports GRB/RGB & GRBW Neopixels, (requires external 5v 1A source)

• Supports (2) push buttons with or without RGB LEDs for ambient lighting control or custom inputs
• Added SD card reader for storing settings between powered off states, (instead of using EEPROM)
• Made to work with FORD vehicles with premium sound installed, but can easily be used with other vehicles.

Button pad to replace the standard Sparkfun 2x2 button board. This board uses addressable LEDs with the WS2812 control IC built-in. (NOTE: diodes are only needed for multiple-board matrices, otherwise just use jumper wires).

RC RGB LED Strip Controller - Arduino Micro. Used to control LED RGB Strips by using one pin (serial data). Used mainly for multi-rotors and aircraft for night flying. Also breaks out the I/O pins for sensors and such.
