I am in the process of making 2 types of OLED selectors for the Sega18 multi

1. One that will work like my others running off a RPi Zero with a web interface you can control with your phone

2. Once that will plug directly into a Arduino UNO R3 and allow full control over game switching as well as attract mode

Stay tuned
 
Here is the design for the Arduino Uno selector

One board uses a raspberry pi and has a web interface u can access on your phone to change games and start attract mode

The other board runs off an Arduino UNO board in case u want to run it up to the control panel

Attract mode will cycle thru each game and play the game for 60 seconds and then switch to the next game. To disable it u just need to press a button

Thank You!!!
 
@opt2not sounds great

I have the current images you did currently working on the Arduino UNO board and the buttons all seem to be working fine for UP, DOWN, SELECT, RESET and ATTRACT
I will need to wait until I am back home to test the actual switching of the games on the Sega18 multi but I am pretty confident it will work fine

Here is a quick video of it:

Loading HEX to Arduino UNO

Here is the hex file needed to program the Arduino UNO:

Sega18 UNO Selector Hex File

** Note: If download does not work, copy the link and paste into new window

You can use a program called XLoader
Connect the board to your computer via USB A and USB B cable
Launch XLoader

Choose the hex file to load
Make sure the device is Uno(ATmega328 )
It should find your board
Once set, click upload the program the UNO with the hex file


Attached are the gerber files

This model is suitable for my needs . If will be to be , when will be ready , if you will make a batch, im down for 1 unit 🙏🏻✌🏻

I recommend using a Raspberry Zero W

1647186060576-png.png



This is the case I am using for it:

1647186080155-png.png



You will also need a 8GB microSD card (I recommend Sandisk)

Here is the Raspberry Pi image you will need to load to the RPi. Just unzip it and load the img file using Win32DiskImager

Sega18-Pi Raspberry Pi Image

NOTE: If the link for the image does not work, copy the link and paste in a new window

The pi user is: pi
The pi password is: s18multi

Here are the connections from the selectors 12pin cable to the RPi GPIO pins

1681158115045.png


Pins 1,3,5 are used for the OLED display
Pins 29,31,33 are used for the UP, DOWN and SELECT buttons
Pins 8 and 10 are used to send and receive data from the Atmega328 chip
Pins 12,16,18 and 32 are used to program the Atmega from the Raspberry Pi

Connect a USB to microUSB cable from the multi selector to your RPi in order to power everything from one place

NOTE:
*** Selector on multi needs to be set to 0

The first time you load it up, it will default to a hotspot with the name Sega18-Pi
Hotspot password is: s18multi
Connect to the hotspot and then go to your browser on your phone and go to any web address (eg: gg.com)
The web interface should appear and you should see the games listed

For first time use ONLY:
Go to Tools and select Set Atmega Fuses
This should come back successful and ask you to reboot the Pi (DO NOT do that yet)
Select Program Atmega
This will program the hex code on the Pi into the Atmega 328p chip
Once successful reboot the RPi or just power cycle the Sega pcb power supply since everything gets its power from it

Once the RPi has loaded, you can connect back to the hotspot and change games.

You can also go to the Tools and select Wifi Configuration to join it to your home wifi network instead of using a hotspot.
You will be asked to select your wifi network and enter your password. You then need to click Apply and Reboot
This will reboot the RPi and it will connect to your home wifi if your credentials are correct.

As promised, the logos have been updated in this thread: https://www.arcade-projects.com/threads/sega-system-18-oled-selector-logos.25080/
 
@opt2not
Any thought of adding the 4 duplicates and adding in the differences... eg: Alienstorm 2player vs Alienstorm 3player
DD Crew, Wheres Wally and Laser Ghost are duplicates as well
