If are you waiting for a drill don’t stop working. Look at today’s task list for other essential tasks that must be accomplished to build a successful pinball game.
Today’s goals: complete at least three of the tasks below to earn 15 points for full credit. Milstead and Varvil will verify completion on your Pinball Task List which is attached to the back of your pinball machine:
- cut parts for ball launcher,
- cut parts for flippers.
- wire and install one LED on your pinball machine.
- submit one CAD/CAM design that is ready to 3d print or laser cut. (laser cutting guidelines here)
- coding: create the structure of your code that has all inputs and outputs defined as variables and has if/else structure in place. Here’s a basic Arduino program with inputs, outputs and Serial monitor.
- Install flippers and/or ball launcher.
- Build your test circuit on your breadboard so you can run your program and troubleshoot.
Pinball project guidelines and rubric are located the left hand menu of this website. The menu is labeled: Pinball Project.
Small parts: use a Sharpie to label ALL small parts with your name. Place them on your pinball machine at the end of class.
Tool use:
1. if you are done with a tool, return it to the proper spot.
2. if you need a tool that someone else has in their workspace ask if you can use it next. Make sure they are done with the tool before you take the tool.
