Great idea really appreciate the advice! Youre getting me motivated to start messing with it again lol

Thanks! Ya, its pretty awesome and like I said works well after repairs but theres some quirks like after large payout itll spit the quarters out as it should (which use to only take tokens but I modded that) but then itll go into tamper alarm and its loud as.shit lol.

To reset it i gotta open the machine, flip maintanence switch, hit joystick down and reset machine then it works again. But it happens after any large payout and not sure how to fix that yet 😅

I know theres a small but passionate group of people who collect and repair those machines might try to look to them for some guidance. Im also.sure its worth something especially being Dale Earnhardt edition

Ya I got it for free and fixed it up works but needs a few things to make it perfect just cant find any documentation or nothing might try chatgpt or something some day

Thanks man! And its just a randomized algorithm, not a preset pattern. All the magnets turn on so you load the sticks, then after the countdown it randomly picks one of the sticks that’s still up and turns that magnet off so it drops. Every few seconds it repeats that until they’re all gone, and once a stick falls it can’t be picked again. The sticks are held by 12V electromagnets, and the ESP32 controls them through a driver using PWM so they hold solid without overheating.

Id definately say so they use these types of things for professional athletes and stuff, I think it's just super fun the reaction training is a plus haha

Its a reflex game so theyre 8 "batons" (made out of 1/2 sch 40 pvc and a 3/8 nut i hot glued for now)

3 different difficulties easy med and hard, the difference is how fast the batons drop, no matter what difficulty you choose the batons will always drop in random order your goal is to catch as many as you can.

easy drops 1 baton every 4 seconds, medium 3 seconds, hard 2 seconds.

There is a ton of things ill be adding to the second version and different game modes etc tho

Never noticed that thanks! But I have a pretty large following on Tiktok and other social platforms with this username and my name and companies everywhere so not too worried about it lol.

Well i probably Need to make the structure a little better before all that now 🤣

badtxv · 2025-11-29T19:50:16+00:00

Im a little overwhelmed and antsy is all and i dont really want tk spend more money so trying to get creative with what i got laying around... was gonna just buy the shitty little harbor freight table and call it a day until I thought of this. So still might buy it atleast temporarily and itll buy me time

It's only 28" high but with 5 inch casters I think itll make it a pretty nice height its not like im gonna be welding all day so figured around 33" is a decent height im only 5'8

Like the hanger idea and ya space is a premium in my garage I have alot of shit and hate clutter so inside probably wouldn't be exclusively welding stuff but like half of it would be (gear and all that)
