@@brodo1337swaggins It was more the idea of a "motherboard"--sure, just a PCB, but considerably more complicated than I'm capable of. Given the mix of AC and DC current in a pinball machine, dozens, if not hundreds of I/O channels. I'll stick to customized power-distribution boards and LED lighting for quadcopters for now :D

Nooooo! keep the manual ball launcher! it is part of what makes pinball interactive! with practice you can drop the ball just were you want it, so it doesn't just bounce around at the top and drop wherever. that said...

This reminds me of Futurepin. It's a pinball "emulator" that's also used to create original digital tables because it boasts a large set of building tools. You can even import your own 3D objects for the table. The kicker is that it includes wiring information and tools that make it perfect for actually building a table irl... Now I'm off to go redownload that software.

Most of the other measurements seem to be trial and error. A little help please to get started with the playfield. Thanks Tom

Id love to see people build more pinballs that people can buy at more reasonable prices. A good idea would be to make games that require no licensing fees and uses the maximum amount of technology for the money, as well making them 100% home games where there is no money involved. This could focus the designers on making a game that plays longer rather than a shorter game that makes more money.

There are other engineers who do great things - but none of them connect with their audience like Ben Heck does. It's not about making the most impressive gadget - it's about making the gadget that people want to see, like portable consoles and controllers for smart phones. The bottom line is that ingenious engineers doing innovative work shouldn't look to KZitem for recognition.
