  3. MOTIVATION • I have always wanted a pinball machine. • I enjoy projects and building stuff. • I felt this would be challenging.

  4. INTRODUCTION • The earliest pinball style game was made around 1750 to 1770 • The first real machine was manufactured in 1871 (WIKI) • They were very popular in the 1970’s. • To date, Sterns is now the only pinball manufacturer.

  5. PROBLEM STATEMENT • Pinball machine are a dying breed. • There are few in existence for public use and most are in need of maintenance (i.e. the Indiana Jones machine on campus.)

  6. PROPOSED SOLUTION • To build my own full sized pinball machine. • The initial goal was to use a microcontroller to run the mechanical parts. • I needed to build a box to full size (26’x52’). • I needed to order specific parts.

  7. PROPOSED SOLUTION • Software for this project was simple • Just a few lines of subroutines was enough to get the needed data out. • Circuit design was almost as simple. • Playfield design was a difficult task. • The playfield is large • There were many holes that needed drilled • The parts needed to be placed in a specific manner.

  8. PROPOSED SOLUTION • Testing was a step by step process. • A lot of time was spent in checking the parts placements. • This involved making sure that all solenoids actuated correctly. • Also all parts had to be separated so that the ball could move smoothly

  9. RESULTS • I did not complete this project to my likings. • Dealing with such large object is diffulcult. • Include lots of images & relevant multimedia on (no dancing pink elephants) • Well, maybe 1 or 2 goofy images in the presentation are OK

  10. CONCLUSIONS • Building such a large device is highly time consuming and it takes up a lot of room. • More time was needed to completely make this project work as to my expectations and I just ran out of time.

  11. FUTURE WORK • I would like to add more to this project. • Ramps, scoring, gutter lane scoring, and multi-ball are items of interest. • I have not decided if I will continue working on it or tear it down.
