"Featured Content Triptych Setup Doc" contains the 3 featured items - image, descriptive text, and button, that you can edit to change the image, text and link/button text as appropriate for this group. If there isn't already a 3-box widget showing on the home page for this group, to display the document, you will need to get someone with Admin rights (one of the Devs or Pauline's team) to add a Wiki Viewer widget for you and insert the url to the document. From then on, you will be able to update the content of that widget by making changes to the document. "Featured Video Setup Doc" lets you embed a video - YouTube, Brightcove, or an image that links to a document somewhere on the site that contains the video - and that can also be put into a Wiki Viewer (in the skinny column) using the url. From then on, that widget can be updated by changing out the image/link or embedded video that is in that document.https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/mini-pinball-kit/w/setup/26875/featured-video-setup-docWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:39:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:59502fdb-5a58-4bef-a5aa-5c8cb8014402ChristyZfeaturedVideohttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/mini-pinball-kit/w/setup/26876/featured-content-triptych-setup-docWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:39:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:eb8490c6-bfdf-4abd-b479-84b5c4f364f0ChristyZFeature 1 Sub Title 1 Description for Feature 1 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button Text 1 Feature 2 Sub Title 2 Description for Feature 2 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button Text 2 Feature 3 Sub Title 3 Description for Feature 3 - enter whatever text you wish to use as the description here Button 3 Texthttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/mini-pinball-kit/w/setupWed, 10 Nov 2021 04:39:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:f6d35550-3872-4ad3-abd8-d69148daf114https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/mini-pinball-kit/w/documentsTue, 09 Nov 2021 02:38:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:4669fd18-d1f2-4669-8f13-0dd8eb161d94https://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/mini-pinball-kit/m/managed-videos/17773Fri, 08 Oct 2021 02:20:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:e780bb7e-0ec3-42fb-a383-d6e47bb75d70tariq.ahmadBen and Karen respond to feedback from community members about what they want to see in the custom pinball game that they are building.

Back to The Ben Heck Show homepage Community Feedback Mini Pinball Kit See All Episodes www.youtube.com/watch Ben and Karen respond to feedback from community members about what they want to see in the custom pinball game that they are building. It turns out there is a lot more to pinball than whacking and hitting things so you can arbitrarily get points. There are actual storylines, evolving through gameplay, with angles and mechanisms more complicated than you might realize. The plan is to make templates that allow you to add your own customization. If you're not familiar with how pinball games work, go to your local arcade, find a pinball game you like, and look at the mechanisms that are in there that you enjoy. What pinball game would YOU want?

Back to The Ben Heck Show homepage Community Feedback Super Glue Gun See All Episodes www.youtube.com/watch Community Members make suggestions to the team as they work on their mini pinball kit. Feedback includes using thin recesses on the table to make the ball change its directory, using an Arduino SoftTimer library for timing the PWM and bouncing, alternate ways of making the table such as taking a look at the mechanics on Stern's mini playfield for Family Guy/Shrek, and alternate ways of making the table such as optional posts between the flippers. Community Feedback comes from cht0026 , prampec , and grahambest ! Congratulations you win a Free Ben Heck T-Shirt! cht0026 has an idea for making the game more challenging or frustrating depending on your point of view. He’d like to know if it’s possible to make some very thin recesses on the table and make the ball change its trajectory. The analogy he uses is the way that big planets affect small planets. Ben recalls a similar idea with the Orbiter 1 from Stern Electronics (1977-1984). It had a vacuum-form play field and a space-theme where the ball would make all these crazy orbits making it really hard to play. Really, what made the ball change directory is when it hits something, or went around in a loop, or goes up a ramp. A divot in the play field wouldn’t do a whole lot and worse it might trap the ball. prampec wants to know why the team doesn’t just use a timer library for timing the PWM and bouncing. He recommends the “Arduino SoftTimer” library, and not just because he wrote the library, as he believes it can do a decent job in time-sensitive situations like this. He then realizes that the PciManager library won’t work with Teensy because debouncing doesn’t work out of the box. Ben gives an explanation of what this means. grahambest suggests the team take a look at the mechanics for the mini playfield in Stern’s Family Guy/Shrek . They’re using the same 5/8 ball and have already solved the problem the team has encountered. He’s concerned that changing the flipper angle from 30 to 15 degrees won’t allow you to execute a proper bounce pass. He suggests alternate ways of making the table such as an optional post between the flippers.communityfeedbacktbhshttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/mini-pinball-kit/f/forum/8988/will-the-kit-plans-be-availableSat, 23 Jun 2018 20:06:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:59e8d7df-11f6-45f0-9452-cabbc022e125mrdandymanI'm wondering if or when the plans for the mini pinball game will be available. I'll have access to all the tools I need (and hopefully time enough) to build a mini-pinball machine this summer at my local makerspace. I'm taking a CAD class too, so hopefully I can design new parts as for class projectsmini pinballmini_pinball_kithttps://community.element14.com/challenges-projects/element14-presents/benheck/mini-pinball-kit/f/forum/7503/what-pinball-game-would-you-want/116888Fri, 09 Mar 2018 21:14:00 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:76460aad-f5e3-4508-bda0-bca9d621aa49cht0026Yeap!
