Mini Pinball



Well Like I don’t need any more projects. I’ve started a mini pinball for the kids. I’ve been collecting piball parts for my Target Alpha Machine and realized I have enough for a mini game. I’ve done up a layout in Sketchup to see how it would look.






Here is the pinball with my friends from Dr. Who.

Blisterball Remake for Wii

Blisterball was released on the Apple ][ computer in the 80’s and I just loved it. You used a rotary dial to control this blaster thingy to shoot these “Blisterballs” coming at you. I wrote a version for the Wii hope you like it as much as I did.

And the winner is ME!

After a false start ( I had to resolder the board as two motors weren’t working) The new beast is alive!! and wow it is fast and accurate. No more swearing and crying. Take a look at a cut I did on the old CNC vs. a cut made on the new faster happier cnc. The bands on the new cut are from running it too slow. I wasn’t sure on the first cut how fast I could push it. I am happy to say the least.

When Will it end

Well since I’ve updated the motors I needed to update the power supply as well. I put the controller and power supply together in a big case and added serial port connectors for the motor conections. I’m running this thing right on the line of destruction as the max voltage on the controller board is 42V and I’m right there at 43V hehe.. I don’t see smoke… must be good.

New CNC part 3

Well it was only a matter of time before I rebuilt my CNC. I needed to tighten up the x y axis as it gittered and was causing all kinds of headaches. I installed real CNC thread rods and hardened steel linear rods. I don’t have the motors setup yet or the small tweaks yet. That will be later on.

New CNN Controller

I decided to put my CNC controller into a case as it was getting coated with sawdust. I added 3 serial ports so I could unplug and clean from time to time.
