    Your jumper bending skills are next level - each one of those wires was the perfect length and shape on those PCB's!

      It was quite a lot of work to do it like that! But I prefer a planned and clean layout over a spaghetti of criss cross wiring

    You have some excellent design skills and an eye for detail with all those wire bending and such lining up so well, as well as all your thoroughness in making things nobody will see look nice and be safe to work on later.

    Leuk project en het ziet er echt goed uit! Ik heb met een vriend ooit een arcade cabinet (ook leeg) gevuld met electronica en wat opknappingen gedaan. Al heb ik een lattepanda delta gebruikt als sbc ipv een pi want mijn vriend had een simpele applicatie gemaakt op windows 10 wat de lattepanda kan draaien want er zit een x86 cpu op en die heeft zelfs een acpi power button. De lattepanda is wel behoorlijk wat duurder maar beide sbcs zijn perfect voor de task, ik zou dan ook een pi hebben gebruikt maar mijn vriend wou graag een windows sbc met gpio dat de lattepanda heeft. Wij hebben ook prototype boards gebruikt ipv een custom pcb want we hadden niet veel tijd ervoor en het is en blijft een hobby project. Helaas geen video van gemaakt of project files

    • @overtinker.projects
      @overtinker.projects  4 месяца назад

      Ik vind een Pi gewoon super om mee te werken. Goedkoop, veel libraries, veel community rond. Lattepanda kende ik nog niet. Zal ik is moeten opzoeken

    This game is kinda like Pinball, in the way that the backglass has the 4 scores laid out, and the general shape of the machine

    • @overtinker.projects
      @overtinker.projects  4 месяца назад

      The cabinet does really look like a pinball, and you basically also have to hit certain shots. I can see the parallel 😁

    In the United States we have games called shuffle bowling. Using a heavy puck and switches the puck slides over the switches causing the plastic pins to swing up. Fun game. Yours looks a lot of fun as well

    • @overtinker.projects

      Thank you! I think an entire pinball is a lot more complicated than this, but there's an entire homebrew community that makes their own diy pins

    I remember playing a game similar to this as a kid at carnivals. Instead of coins you rolled balls into the holes. Instead of points you controlled a little motorized figure on a board, and it was a race to the end for a prize lol

    Tip: Set overlay FS for RPi, and have the software save the high scores and other configuration data to another type of storage, such as an internal USB stick. This drastically cuts down on disk write access, prolonging its lifetime. You also might want to disable logging or set the logging level to warning and errors only.

    • @overtinker.projects

      I saw a video about this just yesterday. It does sound like a good idea for this game as there is nothing that gets written to the filesystem anyway

    Met raspi config kunt u read only boot en overlay fs aanzetten om je sd kaart niet te corrupten. Met een tweede usb stick voor de high scores oid. Cool project!

    • @overtinker.projects
      @overtinker.projects  4 месяца назад

      You get 7 coins per turn, so you throw all of them and then it's the next player's turn. Everyone keeps throwing until you reach a minimum target score and that player wins

      @overtinker.projects  4 месяца назад +1

      When I first read the documentation for the library that drives the addressable leds, it said that it interferes with thr regular audio jack, so I just bought a USB adapter for a couple of euros to solve that. Apparantly, there are ways around it but I just took the easy way

    Leuke combinatie van digitaal en analoog. Zou het spel beter spelen als het een soort airhockey tafel had? Ik vind de stenen die niks raken er zo ongemakkelijk uit zien. Misschien is de verwachting dat alles perfect moet in een spel ook wel te modern.

    • @overtinker.projects
      @overtinker.projects  3 месяца назад +1

      Daar hou ik als maker van, projecten die de digitale en fysieke wereld samen brengen. Lijkt mij ook wel een coole extra, een soort glijdende tafel, maar daarmee los je niet op dat er gemiste stenen kunnen blijven liggen. Zie het een beetje als petanque, het is net deel van het spel en tactiek om soms andere munten weg te kaatsen

      That's definitely a thought I had, but the Pi is a bit slow for that I think. It wouldn't really add that much to the gameplay anyway

      Btw: are you by any chance familiar with the Gottlieb System 1 pinball machines?

    • @overtinker.projects
      @overtinker.projects  4 месяца назад

      @AndreSjoberg it's hard to say which one is most rare, because there is no documentation on any of these. Going off of second hand advert frequency, the older one pops up every few months or so, the new one I only saw once over the last 3 years.
      I'm not familiar with Gotlieb pins. I mainly collect Williams, Bally, and Stern.
