Thanks! Means a lot coming from you. I appreciate all the work you have done for the vpin world as well!

It's always a good idea tonadd fuses, but for solenoids especially so. They can indeed catch fire!

You are more than welcome!

Awesome to hear this. Thank you!

Awesome to hear! Make sure to check put the Pinscape Build Guide for all the info you need

I've had that downloaded for months! :-) @@overtinker.projects

If I had to change one thing about my cabinet it's definitely swap out the contactors for real bumpers. It's just too weak compared to real pins and that is quite obvious in my shed, where the vpin sits next to real pins

@@overtinker.projects Yep, from hearing them on a lot of videos, it seems like the solenoids/contactors add some "click" while the pinball coils add some "thump".

@@circusfreakRob that's a good description. Although the contactors have a small thump as well, but no where near real bumpers

That sounds like a good idea. I also think I could have played around with different positions for the solenoids, like installing them on a cross beam. In the end the contactors on combination with the SSF I'll show in the next video suffice for me

Thank you for your positive comment, I really appreciate it when people take the time to write something nice

You should hear it in real life!

I'm not an engineer, I'm a programmer :) I did study 1 year of engineering, but I learned most things on my own by doing small projects. The fun thing about buildong this is that you can play it while you build it and see it improve with each thing that you add

They are Siemens 3RH1140-1BB40, but they come in all kinds of models. I got them second hand on Ebay

I don't have any plans, but take a look at the Pinscape Build Guide. Everything you need to know is in there

Yes of course! They are Siemens 3RH1140-1BB40 contactors. I bought them second hand on Ebay for about €5 a piece, but that was a lucky buy. I would not recommend buying them new as they are quite expensive

@@overtinker.projectsdo you have any recommendations for 12V contactors? Already have a 12V PSU and want to run 2 of them for flippers off that.

Fingers crossed 😁 I still have lots of projects in mind!

I have thought about making and selling machines, but I'm more interested in doing different projects each time

Er komt nog 1 filmpje van het bouwproces en dan is de serie af. Ik heb er zelf eigenlijk geen idee van hoeveel de kast verbruikt, goeie vraag!

@@overtinker.projects self heb ik ook pinball tafel kleine formaat gemaakt met mame en future pinball backglass ik moet nog overstappen naar virtual pinball Ik ben nu bezig met controller trill functie eruitgehaald en proberen op 1 manier in de pinball tafel verplaatsen een beetje hier daar 🥵🪛🔩🪓🔫

Ik heb nog nooit future pinball gespeeld, enkel Pinball FX, maar VPX is daarmee in vergelijking wel echt een stuk beter. Zeker met kasten van Vpin Workshop

That is definitely something I would like to do at some point! But I'd like to do some smaller and cheaper projects next 😄

If you want the knowledge, checkout the Pinscape build guide, it contains tons of info! If you don't have the time, you can also buy ready-made vpins so you don't need to build one yourself

⁠My wife doesn't want me to set up a full-sized pinball machine at home. Therefore, I would like to buy something similar to: Pin Station by Gibson Pinball. This is a standalone controller for playing pinball on PC and in VR. However, it is currently unavailable for purchase. -- You have unique technical knowledge and experience. I, along with many others, would happily buy small pinball game controllers from you. -- - Why do people need small pinball controllers? Because they can be easily shipped worldwide. Also, they are in much higher demand. Not everyone can afford a real large pinball table. It's not just about money, but also about the available space at home. Many people rent their homes. They would never buy a large table, but they would gladly buy a small realistic pinball controller. -- Dude, you yourself are already a global brand in the world of mini pinball controllers! This niche is free and not yet occupied by anyone. Why don't you want to turn your experience, knowledge, and skills into a business and make money? -- There are many people who are good electricians, good electronic engineers, good programmers, and good sound specialists. I could assemble a team from them. But if they are not passionate about pinball, they will not ultimately produce anything good. -- You have all of this at once! You could offer people three controller options based on a universal platform: - Entry-level. - Advanced level. - And top-level. Today, no one in the world offers this.

These are valid concerns, and I may not have mentioned it for the flipper and slingshots assemblies, but all devices in my cab have a flyback diode to prevent the voltage spikes you are talking about. Trial and error might not be the best method for determining fuses, but it has saved me a couple of times already with a stuck slingshot whicj caused the fuse to pop, so in my opinion it works exactly as intended. And finally, the Pinscape controller has a 3rd board that I didn't install called the Chime Board, which is designed especially for larger coils like this. It has hardware timers to prevent stuck on coils and some other specific features. I didn't plan on using real flipper mechs at first, so I didn't include this board, but the regular Pinscape Power Board also features software timers to prevent stuck coils and that has served me well enough until now. As a small sidenote, I've been playing on this machine for 2 years now since I completed it and it has been working just fine without any issues :)
