Turns out the best spot so far on the EM is to have the hall sensor capture the field from each scoring relay. In Hee Haw they are positioned in the back box.. Then assign each sensor to a point value. I think there will be some adjustment in scoring as the reel turns over…

20W voice playback
pros and cons just got the DY-HV20Ts working, They are an easier setup and assembly, do have to get more power to them. harder to debug as well but sound is better
Made a wrong assumption about chimes
I went back up to R pinball today for further machine development. . I had noticed something that makes me have to go back to the drawing board a tiny bit. I want to try to calculate scoring based off the number when chimes are stuck. 10, 100, thousand, chime equates to the same number…
Is it possible?
If I install sensors on key playfield components and selected devices (like the ball eject mechanism), would it be possible to completely bypass the original scoring reels, relays, score motors, and other electromechanical parts? Essentially, this would turn the machine into something like a solid-state pinball machine, which could be far more reliable. That’s the…
Video Integration ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display
The ESP32 Cheap Yellow Display has a lot of potential to integrate into the EM. On challenge on EMs is that they were never designed “pause”. Unlike modern machines where the ball can be easily held to show the video, EMs just collects score and releases the ball back quickly to the playfield. This however…
Service Outlet Add
The question came up was how to get power to the Arduino? When integrating a power source for an Arduino in a setup involving, several factors must be carefully evaluated to ensure safety, functionality, and compliance with electrical standards. Initial Approach and Challenges The initial attempt involved installing a dedicated service outlet connected to the…
