GottFA1_PLus - Power Supply, Lamp & Solenoiddriver included

Based on my GottFA1 MPU, but with integrated Soundcard, Power Supply and Driverboard.

When preassembled by JLCPCB  you only need to put some ICs into the sockets, solder the MP3 Miniplayer ( see my Reichelt shop cart), use 3 'M3' screw to fasten the voltage regulator on the heatsink and insert & program the Cyclone IV FPGA.

NEW with version 2.0:

- short-circuit-proof driver for lamps&solenoids

- integrated soundcard with background music capability

- serial USB interface for easy selftests & MPF interfacing (in development)

parts needed

In additon to the GottFA1 PCB preassembled by JLCPCB you need a few ICs, a MP3 Miniplayer, two micro SD cards, a FPGA and an USB Blaster to be able to program your FPGA.

With GottFA1_PLuS you need my Cyclone IV board and an UB Blaster capable of JTAG programming. Klick on the pictures below for details.

For the other parts see the Reichelt shop cart.

Note: with Gottlieb it is always a good idea to replace the contacts in the edge connectors. This is also highly recommended for GottFA1!

Documentation & Software

Due to copyrigth on Gottlieb roms the SD card does not contain any rom code, but do provide the right structure for GottFA1_PLuS. Have a look at the user manual to see how you can copy your rom images onto the Sd card.
