So following up from @Ashbo 's thread on his build, just lookjing to start getting parts together slowly over time, waiting to get the best parts i can, spreading the cost. Focusing to get completed sometime in the winter as lots of other projects going on along with this place!
As was mentioned, shopping list to start with.. obviously need to add a Cab and screens...
Analogue to digital plunger.
12v mains relay triggering power to 4 gang extension when pc is on.
Fused spur between relay and 4 gang.
Pinscape controller for nudge, buttons and plunger.
2.1 amplifier.
Speakers from an old 2.1 altek lancing pc speaker set.
Teensy 3.1 led controller.
Fuse board for each power line to leds
700w PSU
I5 4th gen pc, 8gb ram and 250gb ssd.
Nvidea gt570 2gb graphics.
Hasten to mention if anyone has any spares kicking about, including a cab, please let me know!
Kicking myself i missed out on one a short while ago : https://www.pinballinfo.com/community/threads/mini-vpin-free-stopped-working-need-the-space.53241/
Would have been a great starter kit to sharpen my teeth on! Anyhow.. onwards and upwards!!
So - not sure if this would work....
Analogue to digital plunger - as suggested by you here?

Virtual Pinball Plunger - Pentameter by cbnlnk121
I created this design after my VirtuaPin plunger stopped working. The IR sensor board it came with stopped working suddenly. I was also sick of the PC 'losing' connection with it via the board.
