Mini Pinball 05: Pop Bumpers, Targets, and More!




element14 Presents show

Summary: The team are making flipping progress with the miniature pinball machine, Felix is designing the printed circuit board for the electronics control of the game using a Teensy and an Arduino. The layout of the board will be mounted towards the back of the board and will handle the light and switch drivers. These microcontrollers won't do a great deal without some code! Ben works on the SPI communications to the targets, LCD screen, pop bumpers and uses Autodesk Fusion 360 for the pinball launcher mechanisms, so that we have more of an active and working game! Though it'll work once Ben fully reads the SPI manual! Are you building your own pinball machine? Or do you have suggestions for the build? Let the team know on the element14 Community!
