- Опубліковано 4 жов 2024
- Quick overview of my Arduino based DIY Jurassic Park Pinball. It's made of wood and PLA/PETG (custom 3D print).
Electronic list:
Arduino Mega (for all the sensors and LEDs)
Arduino Nano (for flippers only)
Power socket with On/Off switch
IR sensor
Limit switch
Mosfet Module (to operate solenoids - more voltage)
Arcade button
Large arcade LED button
14 segments display (4 digit)
LEDS (color you want), strip or not
Solenoid 24 VDC / 50N (for flippers)
Solenoid 12 VDC / 35N (T-rex)
Solenoid 24 VDC / 0.75A
12V Fan
220 Ohm resistance (LEDS)
10 KOhm resistance (Buttons)
24V / 12V alimentation
wires
DC connector
Other materials:
Wood
Aluminium stick (like 6-8mm) (for flippers and plunger)
Elastics / springs
Wide range of screws
3D printer with PLA/PETG
Iron Balls 18mm or less
Welding Unit
PCB
Optional:
Cutting machine like Cricut Explore with Vinyle
This is amazing!!! I've tried to make a small pinball machine but was stuck and lost enthusiasm... I encountered something I called the "pinball making curse" - I've found several makers that attempted to make a small pinball machine with active parts but so 99% percent of them (including me) haven't finished the build :( So, I do realize how much work you invested in this beauty :) Thanks, man, I appreciate your work! Definitely worth building one!
Thank you so much! The key is really to go step by step and not to think about all the work that still needs to be done. When I started, I knew there were several months of work (took me like 3 months) and that I would have to be patient. It's hard to stay motivated, but every step that works gives you a boost for the rest ;)
Have you looked at the ROKR pinball machine? I’m in the middle of assembling it myself. Awesome project
I did, pretty cool stuff :) almost everything you need. It just lacks a better scoring system with high scores ;)
Best homemade project with scoring and 3D printing... I want it! 🤩
Bravo, c'est extraordinaire
Very cool! I would like to build a small pinball myself one day. Sadly there are no good tutorials which explain the process for absolute beginners
Thanks ;) you should go step by step. I recommend starting with small electronics DIYs and gradually increasing the complexity. Starting directly with a pinball machine is very ambitious ;)
Very nice. It will be interesting to see how you built it and to see the other side of the playfeel.
Nice job
Looks amazing. Excellent job. Would you mind share more info, stls, code, etc
Thank you, yes I will. Maybe code, .Stl files and information ;) I didn't film the whole manufacturing process (too long) but there might be another video about the pinball depending on demand^^
Yes plz!
Yes plz!
@@Barjo-diy would love to see some more info on the connection oft the solenoids with the buttons. Looks amazing btw
@@niklasdunkel7794 I used what I had, i.e. an H-bridge L298N module. This is not ideal, as this module is intended to be used as a motor driver. I'd rather use a Mosfet transistor (with a Mosfet module for example) as I did for the other solenoids. Please note that I'm a beginner in electronics and that what I say on this subject is not necessarily an exact science ;)
Really nice! I have been working on my own (mostly) 3D printed machine for some time, but still didn't came to sharing anything with a nice video like this...
Hope to see more of this project details! :D
Thanks, I'll probably post more details in another video or maybe on a website or both (I'm a web developer). Though, I need some time to do things properly. But this kind of comment motivates me to take action ;)
Well done
Awesome work - very interesting. Share more please! :)
Thanks :) I don't know when yet, but I will ;)
Could you make your work available so we can replicate it? My son is excited for me to do a project like this.
I intend to make certain elements available, such as printable parts or code. But it needs a bit of work to clean the files.
that looks really good. Congratulations on the work.
It would be nice if you could share the code
I will, just need some time to rework/explain things ;)
That project is lit 🔥 dude, im working on a custom pinball machine myself , im more of an electronic guy that software
Do you have any code, much appreciated
Thanks :) I need to clean up the code a bit before making it available but just let me know if you need a specific part (like flippers, screens, T-Rex, ...)
👍👍👍
Hi! Why did you use an arduino Nano for flippers if the arduino Mega has 69 pins? isnt them enough? or the reason was another one? I like your pinball!
In fact, the number of pin is sufficient with an Arduino Mega for this project. But the problem is that you can only run one task at a time on a microcontroller like this. So, if I use only one microcontroller, the flippers will be blocked at each animation on the screen ;)
Very cool, i'm building one myself too, (almost 2 years at it) but i decided to buy "real" flippers and solenoids. What type of solenoids did you end up using?
Thanks, DC24V, 1.2A, 50N. A little bit more power would be perfect but it works for a 18mm ball (not enough for a "real" ball size)
Good job, what kind of IR sensors did you use? I am also working on a Pinball project but the IR sensor i bought are not working in the way i want :(
Here is the link : fr.aliexpress.com/item/1005005107098155.html
They need to be adjusted (with a screwdriver) to have the correct detection and the distance to the ball must be quite short.
Pleasee give the code and the stll
I'll be working on that soon ;)
@@Barjo-diy thanksssss
@@Barjo-diy ETA? 😅 Can you share Step files?
In my "mind project" I wan use all this stuf with slings and bumpers too, but I'm too n00b to know project from zero, in both, hw and sw... hahaha
@@jeandread ETA: this year 😅 Sorry, it's been on my mind for a while but I need to find the motivation to get back to this big project I finished several months ago. But it's on the cards ;)
