FAST MPF config file reference

This guide details Mission Pinball Framework (MPF) config file settings needed when working with FAST Pinball hardware. It only covers the FAST hardware-specific stuff and should be used alongside the MPF tutorial and MPF config reference from the Mission Pinball documentation.

This guide only applies to MPF 0.57

All of the sections of this guide only apply to MPF 0.57 (current dev branch). If you're using a stable branch of MPF 0.56 or older, then the config file reference from the Mission Pinball website has everything you need.

Guides for configuring devices with FAST hardware in MPF

Sample config file (Neuron Controller / MPF 0.57)

Here's a high-level sample config file which shows the new & updated FAST Pinball hardware related settings. (This is a partial config that just shows the FAST-specific stuff.)

Using a Nano? We have a guide for that!

If you're using a FAST Nano Controller, check out our MPF Configuration Guide for the Nano.
