Magic Castle -- what a place to visit! The magic piano, creaky halls, parlor tricks... It's amazing to watch a close-up magician perform. He'll tell you what trick he's about to do, execute right under your nose, and your eye

Neat! Building your own pinball game is 90% mechanical, 90% electrical, 90% artwork, 90% software, 100% labor intensive! Good luck in completing it, and maybe take it to a pinball show that features home-brew games. I got to help building t

As a pinhead I love this post and all the comments. I sell pinball DVDs (a very boutique market) and our distributor shut down during COVID so I've been selling direct on eBay, very slowly. Except the past few months sales picked up. N

If you're playing a pin that's sitting in "cups" (prevents it from sliding) a non-tilting shove on the side will in fact lift the corner slightly -- I measured with a 3-axis accelerometer back in the day. Rather surprisi

Watch the movie "1917" for long takes. Short takes would ruin the harrowing experience the main characters suffer.

Road tires wear unevenly on the sides due to crowned streets. You should also flip rotating direction, assuming unidirectional tires.

Nice work! I'm assuming score rollover is detected so your awesome final score is correct. Also saving game settings of total balls (3 or 5) and extra ball enabled is useful when comparing scores. Anything pinball on HN is a good day :

In the US you may broadcast FM with a Part 15 device limited to about 200 ft (61 meters.) However, finding such devices and transmitter ICs is becoming rare as this device market has mostly transitioned to Bluetooth. Low Power FM requires a

The Space Wars (1977) gameplay video is me playing my old arcade game with my son. The video is copied from my YouTube channel -- maybe this guy should attribute the source of his gameplay clips... I sold the game years ago as it is rather

I shared an office with a smoker back in the day -- one or two smoking visitors would leave a cloud hanging for an hour. About 10 years later (several years into the smoking ban in the U.S. workplace) went on a business trip to Japan where

Try NTE Electronics for thermal fuses -- used to get these at Fry's (in the US) for $2. Today's inexpensive coffee makers usually use specialty plastic screws making disassembly difficult.

Read the book a few years ago, then watched the series. Doesn't quite follow the book but is entertaining anyway. You also have to pay attention as not everything is explained right away. The series 1 ending is a bit confusing. The onl

30 years ago? I remember: 1) Burn and crash embedded development – burn EPROMs, run until your system reset. Use serial output for debugging. Later, demand your dev board contains EEPROM to speed up this cycle. 2) Tools cost $$$. Cross-comp
