Summary: The Ben Heck Show team have been approached to repair and enhance a vintage Japanese arcade Pachinko machine! Pachinko machines are common gambling games which are played in Japan, and are still in use today! Most of the modern games have hidden features, hints and instant win mechanisms, so it makes sense that the team use their 3D Printing and microcontroller knowledge to bring this mechanical wood, plastic and metal version up to electronic standards for gaming fun. What's an arcade machine without sound and blinking lights anyway? This project becomes a great opportunity to look at logic states and how those can trigger events! Even if they make, strange and unusual noises... Have you built or repaired an arcade machine? Or what arcade machine would you want to make ? Let the team know on the element14 Community.
