History and Roadmap

Roadmap

Here are a few of the things which are planned for future releases:

• Support for WS2811 based led stripes
  I have already installed some of those stripes in my cabinet and I want to be able to control them through DirectOutput. So this is a must!
  A prototype controller board for the stripes is already working nicely. DOF integration will be next.
  Check the following video to get a idea what those stripes can do:

• Ultimarc PacDrive support
  Ultimarcs PacLed64 is already supported by the framework. Support for the smaller PacDrive will be available soon.

• Support for Future Pinball Not sure yet how this could be done, but it is definitively something I want to see in the framework.
