I worry that the contacts will become a point of intermittent failure once corrosion gets to the ring and ball. It's one of those things that looks great on paper but won't last long in a high humidity environment.
I realize this is 4 years old at this point, but I was specifically looking up mini pinball pop bumper to see if anyone had already done this, and, well, you have. The one thing I'm noticing is that your pop bumper seems a little slow to activate with the way you have it setup. I'm thinking it might activate faster if you have the sensor directly activate the solenoid rather than running it through the arduino. You still need to have it tell the arduino the sensor has been hit so it can count the hit for your score. I vaguely remember seeing something similar happening with an early solid state pinball machine.
signed short vs. unsigned short at 6:24: It's wasn't overflow; it was sign extension. Your output routine is capable of printing a 32-bit value, not just your 16-bit short. A signed value will undergo sign extension when converted to a value of greater bit-length (from 16- to 32-bits in this case). Since your signed 16-bit value's most significant bit was a 1 (making the value be interpreted as negative), that sign-bit was extended out to 32 bits when printed and you ended up with 4 hex F's before the 16 bits that you were actually using. The unsigned value doesn't undergo sign extension, so only 16 bits were significant when printed and the 32-bit output routine only printed the 16 bits that you were actually using.
Great EP. I think more thought needs to be put into the sensing mech. I'm thinking the wires/connection attached to repetitive motion actuators won't last long.
I found that a good way to show Autodesk Fusion 360 in action is to scroll the timeline after you are done with some rotations here and there. WIth a little editing, it looks like you are building it on screen in one cut like a boss.
18:40 Weird, I had that exact thought last night. Then, without thinking, I proceeded to tell Alexa goodnight and immediately realized that I'll be alone forever.
What about a Raspberry Pi running FreeBSD for ARM and you could write the whole program in C++/ARM Assembler for stuff that need to handled with split second timing like digitized speech and other sound effects, I think you need a buffer chip to convert the 3volts to drive the other actuators.
i wanna see you make an aio 3d printer like the briefcase one except use the lattepanda as an onboard modeling computer so all you need to make something from an idea is the briefcase
I like that they give their printed "garbage" to kids. Especially the fact that they give the kids a fake feeling of importance. Oh, how wonderfull it must be to see it crumble when somebody burst that bubble!! IT'S LIKE GIVING A LOLLY TO A KID, AND THEN STEALING IT!!! WOEHAAHAHAHAHHAAA!! HAHAHAAAAA!!!! AHAHAHAHHAA!!!!

Why is she so damn awkward? I can't put my finger on it. Maybe she's not genuine? Maybe she's nervous? Maybe she never got taught how to put on make-up properly or do hair? I don't know. Now I feel like I'm just hating for no reason but just because I can't explain it doesn't mean my feelings are any less valid.
"I put a lot of effort into making it look not shabby." Thumbs up!
Could you use an inductive proximity switch instead of the electrical contacts?
I don't think they will last long in that configuration.
I can always count on the outtakes to make me smile. This group is just as crazy as the people that work at my office.

I like how Felix wears the shirt with formulas and Ben gets Ohm's law wrong

Great vid and progress. Must feature "Felix in the mask" again - hilarious!!
felix is the brain behind the ben heck show

Keep it up guys, I appreciate you going ahead with this build and will be the first in line to purchase the kit when it is available!

Since we all know the portable N64 was his most favorite project EVER, how about a portable GameCube next!
Seems like Ben is much happier now that he's doing something with Pinball.
Hey! Felix is laughing AND doing a Bane imitation! Cool dude! You are opening up!
I fucking love this show. Best binge of my life.
Is this a time when you should put a big fat capacitor near the solenoid to help out the power supply?
Best performance by Felix, evar! He should wear a mask for a portion of every episode from now and to eternity - and beyond!!
That redesign of the board that Felix did is sweet looking! I like that! :-)
Was Ben looking at Hobby King, around 9:30?
The money shot was that final bumper test! Great job!
@18:10 Ben makes a new version of "The Most Useless Machine"
Can you use a ring of metal filament at the base of the bumper & on the bumper itself & the metal ball will create the contact.
18:40 Weird, I had that exact thought last night. Then, without thinking, I proceeded to tell Alexa goodnight and immediately realized that I'll be alone forever.
I do recommend keeping the solenoid held down for a minimum length of time, so it uses the same amount of force every time.
Can you create a updated version of the stirling engine?
I = U/R not R/U!
Arduino Guy Projects and More! Exactly right!
OneManShow The U is the formulaic character for electrical voltage.
I know U/R but what am I?
EFormance Engineering brilliant lol
Electrons? >.
Good to know Felix is a Baneposter 👌
Impressive teamwork
Is there any reason, other than old habits and laziness perhaps, not to use the standard specific-width integer types from stdint.h in the SPI code?
16:10 what kind tip is that?

7:20 Actually it's an integer underflow
Felix reminds me of gus frink from breaking bad

It would be cool if you could make a light gun game using a raspberry Pi. Could make a cool little arcade console
Good episode, really enjoyed this one. The code looks simple but I still don't understand it!
Woah now. Don't do all this cool stuff then screw up Ohm's law.
Felix: what's that groovy soldering tip you're using on that prototype board?
looks like a Hakko T18-BR02, a "bent" conical
Awww how cute. Engineering by candle light.
First rule of Ohms Law... we don't talk about Thermal Dynamics.
can you make the very first touch screen controller that works on ps4 and xbox
Why would anyone want touch screen controller for those consoles?
I need to fix the spacer haaaah. And I love Leesa so much.
Jet bumpers!
I first thought having some magnetic sensor could work, which would have all of the wiring under the surface.
Cool bumper design, but the tested code seems to be reacting a bit slow. Shouldn't it be more twitchy?
pop bumpers work in 2 ways.. sometimes the ball pops between 5 to 10 times in 1 second. it needs to be ready for the next hit FAST..
8:48 My kid is that kid.
Build Idea:
I would love / need a g920+ g29 : xbox / ps steering wheel mod, so I don't need to switch wheels every time I change console.
20:08 Found my new "sinister laugh" gif. ;-)
"Drawrings," was that an old SNL reference??? :)
0:35 PINBOT
Came here to correct about ohm’s law but you nerds beat me to it. Blasts
Please make a bluetooth device out of an old phone!
That ending was abrupt
People are right handed huh? Then why the heck am I left handed?
Inductance...
3:35 The Spy bus... ;)
Also: uint16_t, please! We are in 2017, seriously.

So O-Ben-Wan Kenobi has been working on mini pinball designs, huh?
Guess he got pretty bored of waiting for that f'ing kid to grow up.
please make i subbed
