Using MPF 0.57 with your FAST Nano Controller

MPF has supported the Nano Controller for years. If you're using the stable (0.56 or older) version of MPF, then everything you need is in the FAST config instructions section of the Mission Pinball website.

This page is for Nano users who are using the new MPF 0.57 "dev" branch with the Nano.

Migrating your configs to MPF 0.57

If you have an existing MPF configuration for your Nano, then you'll need to migrate your config files to the MPF 0.57 format. See our full guide to MPF 0.57 changes.

1. Mixed letters / numbers with underscore works
2. Only numbers with underscore requires quotes
3. RGB entry is the port that Nano LEDs need
