Integrated Product
------------------

The Oak Micros Pinball Addressable LEDs (PAL) board is a pre-built integrated product that can be used to control up to 8 addressable LEDs strips. It uses the Teensy 3.2 and the latest software from this site. It includes a pushbutton which can be used to initiate a LED test when powered up and has a pluggable screw connector for power and 6 LED connections. The remaining two other LED connections are available on an optional 0.1" header.

For people not very comfortable with lots of wires, stripping and crimping, GermanGamingSupplies developed a nice little Box that makes it much more easy and convenient to install it into your VPins.
