Quoted from Cmartin1235:stefanmader I’m a big fan of tree house too! It is great what you are doing with vertical space. Like yours, think my next pin will be something with a very unconventional shape.
Thank you. Looking forward to it

Quoted from Cmartin1235:The new mini-playfield shoots well. Here is a one minute video of play on it before I re-mounted it to the main playfield. Have a look.
Wow i love that so much! How many volts do you put into the magnet? Really cool mini playfield!
Quoted from Cmartin1235:Thanks. My meanwell power supply runs at 48v. The magnet pulses up to 100 ms or until the ball crosses the edge of the magnet. One feature I am trying to solving in code is to have the magnet catch the ball and deliberately reverse its direction. I can’t get it to happen but the spar it is not reliable. The purpose is to keep the player guessing as to which tunnel the ball will come out of and how fast it will be going.
Awesome! Hm. Does it work when you catch the ball and bring it to a full stop and then fling it back? I guess then the speed is limited right? I haven't had the chance yet to play with a magnet. Have to try one out sooner or later.

Quoted from Cmartin1235:I found I needed a minimum of four optical switches to make this work.
Switch—switch—Magnet—switch—switch
The first switch fires the magnet. The second switch is positioned at the edge of the magnet and turns off the magnet if the pulse is still going. The other two switches are for the same thing when coming the other direction.
ah ok, i understand
