Here is a listing of what to do next in building the pinball machine. The list is ordered by "modules", that is blocks whithin which steps depend on each other. Steps done will be marked by a tick icon 
. Steps currently blocked by other tasks that have to be completed first are marked by an exclamation mark icon: ![/!\](/modern/img/alert.png "/!\"){kind=small}
Control Computer
- Assemble "raw" computer and get it to boot BSD
- Adjust tty definitions so that serial console is usable
- Correct tty definitions so that root can login on serial console
- Integrate GCC in machine case
Machine Case
- Wait for Game Control Computer assembly
- Integrate Game Control Computer base board
- Integrate power supplies and HVAC cabling
- Create rack-like system for subsystem integration
- Build service door backbox
- Integrate service door backbox
- Build and integrate service door
Mechanics Control
Set up the EPROM programming computer - Burn another EPROM (PB-M02) with the current PinBall/Parts/PB-P01
Redesign PinBall/Parts/PB-B03 for new microcontroller architecture (Atmel AVR instead of Intel based)
Rewrite PinBall/Parts/PB-P01 for new I/O control board
- Measure switch matrix scan timings, adjust if neccessary, repeat
- Measure lamp matrix signal timings, adjust if neccessary, repeat
- Measure lamp matrix voltage and current delivery
- Build switch column decoder PB-B10
- Wait for GCC to be usable to generate test commands to I/O subsystem
- Test switch matrix bus operation
- Design and build switch / bus interface
- Test switch matrix operation
Build lamp matrix column decoder PinBall/Parts/PB-B06
- Test lamp matrix bus operation
- Build at least one prototype lamp matrix output driver
- Test lamp matrix operation
