Hi everyone.
This is my first build. Currently waiting on a new carburator because it’s four stroking and I tried everything but I can’t make it run properly.
So I’m working on the looks of it. It’s my first build, any comments or ideas are more than welcome!
UPDATE AND NEW QUESTION:
Building a homemade electromechanical pinball machine with Arduino, custom wooden ramps, solenoids and motors.
The flips and launcher are now 24v solenoids and kicking hard. Maybe too hard sometimes but it s just a matter of fine tuning of the levers.
What I wanna do now is add a « security » code on Arduino: i want the flips to go off after a few seconds, avoiding the solenoids to burn.
Not the best for gameplay but…
The delay fonction is not what i need i guess, and not sure about the millis…
Thanks in advance for any positive or negative feedback, or ideas…..

Hi everyone,
Building a homemade electromechanical pinball machine with Arduino, custom wooden ramps, solenoids and motors.
Still prototyping the flippers and mechanics, it now has a separated 12v supply for both flips and the launcher, but the flips are not powerful enough. It s working but feeling very soft…
Any advice for improving the flipper response?
I still have a lot to learn and improve on this base, before moving into a new one. I need to make these flips working like I want, and next big thing is the score counting and display.
Thanks in advance for any positive or negative feedback, or ideas…..
see you.
