3 9 of 7.5"x50" (3 of 40" top playfield, 3 for downramp, 3 for leftover ball return area if not left over from top length) Model # 32686
Store SKU # 687452
Discontinued: Gladstone Oak 7 mm T x 7.6 in. W Laminate Wood Flooring (24.2 sqft / case)

Important: The top area w/ the electronics was designed to be 7mm thick to go all the way to the holes. I used Click Laminate Flooring for strength and non beveled edges.
If the planks are thinner then a spacer can be used w/ the downramp. If they are thicker, it would move the main hump up so a little play is ok.
If it is realllly thick then spacers can be added to the main holes, but that will move the hole humps up and close to the top so be careful.

Could also try 1/4" plywood (need to test)

One side note is Vinyl (non-hybrid) MIGHT Be too flimsy for the top roll field... but vinyl has the thickness and a TON of style/color options. Might do this and see if there's enough supports so it's not flimsy.

The Return Downramp on the inside can be as thick and sturdy as you want. I might actually see what are the best strongest options and add that as a product to buy as well if the laminated wood options are no longer available.

Also looking into 9v to split into Arduino and something to drop the volts to 5 to go to devices because the LCD screen doesn't like 5v barrel to arduino. Could also power LCD directly to power supply like other hardware.

Warning: Drawing more than 500mA through the USB port will cause the fuse to trip and cut power until it cools down.
If your project requires more than 500mA total, you should use an external 7-12V power supply connected to the DC barrel jack, notes the Arduino Documentation and the Arduino Forum

xxx 25 LEDs The best addressable LEDs for an Arduino Mega are 5V WS2812B LED strips or matrices.

They are ideal because they require only one digital pin for data, and the Mega's 256KB flash memory can handle large, complex patterns.

SK6812 (RGBW) is a suitable alternative for better white light control and voltage drops.

Originally used Adafruit 1460 (WS2812B), has rubber casing. Need to figure out Arduino Code for SK6812 if using.
