Pinball Lamp or Switch Matrix Troubleshooting - All solid state pinball’s use a switch matrix and although the actual implementation may vary slightly, the theory and troubleshooting are the same.

Pinball Lamp or Switch Matrix Troubleshooting -

The purpose of the switch matrix is to reduce the number of driver circuits form 64 to 16 and minimize playfield wiring. This is achieved by pulsing each column sequentially while monitoring all of the rows. This is why the column is called the strobe, or send side, and the row is called the return side. For a list of common problems and troubleshooting, you can jump to this section of the document. Switch Matrix Theory Image 1 is the switch matrix from an Addams Family. Most of this information is also available in the system diagnostics. Note: Switch columns and rows are not wired in the same order as they are shown on the switch matrix. Each column of switches is connected by a green wire with a colored stripe (for example, green-red for column 2) running from one switch to the next. In Image 3, switch 43 is closed (column 4, row 3). Caution. Found A Replacement Bone Busters Skull. Gottlieb Bone Busters Inc. Switch Matrix Chart - Pinitech.com. Pinball Machine Repair -

I had been interested in hearing about the process, but never got a chance to meet up to see the actual machine. In 2016, he was moving out of his studio and couldn't bring the machine with him, so I offered to buy it from him. It wasn't in great shape - two of the legs were falling off and the headboard glass was cracked. The playfield was chipped and peeling in some parts and the wires had all been cut. For all intents and purposes, it was trash- but it was perfect for what we wanted. I reached out to my friend Steve Litt, a fellow electrical engineer, NYU professor, and head of Crudlabs, to help inspect the cabinet. About 90% of the interior of the machine was made up of these relays. Pinscape Resources. Pinscape_Controller_V2 - An I/O controller for virtual pinball machines:...

This is actually a typical mechatronic system because it involves mechanical, electrical and computer engineering. So therefore I believe many engineering students or anyone who is new into mechatronics found this project interesting. Overview Here’s the working principle of this 3D wire bending machine. So first, the wire goes through a series rollers, or straighteners. There’s also another stepper motor, called the Z-axis, which actually enables the machine to create three dimensional forms.

Or is Monster Bash having difficulty with the Phantom Flip? This replacement microcontroller significantly improves the reliability of the eddy sensor. The microcontroller is capable of more sensitive setting than a pot-based system. It also measures the characteristics of the eddy sensor chip, and can compensate for changes in the sensor related to heat, voltage and other factors. MAKERBALL – THE diy pinball machine kit - makerballs Webseite! Tiny Pinball Emulator is Hugely Impressive. We were wondering what [Circuitbeard] has been up to lately. Turns out he’s been building a mini pinball cabinet to add to his arcade of self-built games. [Circuitbeard] was forced to break out of his Raspi comfort zone this time. We’re glad he did because this is one impressive build. BUILD an ARCADE XY VECTOR MONITOR. I have split up this build into 3 major sections for my Vector monitor. The deflection, the high voltage and the CRT. The deflection runs the CRT tubes yoke and controls the beam on the screen.

It is comprised of 2 amplifiers and a spot kill circuit. The high voltage takes care of the anode, focus and misc voltages used to drive the crt. The crt is the gun driver circuit and the crt itself.
