Virtual Pinball machine

The goal for this project is to fabricate a digital/virtual pinball machine. This could be the beginning of a Lowell Makes Arcade. This could definitely be a selling point with new members.

Preliminary Design

  • The pinball machine ideally will be around the size of a standard mechanical pinball machine.
  • There is an instructable for a digital pinball machine on Instructables.com that goes step by step in construction.

Materials

We will need wood or mdf for the cabinet. If we want it to be close to a full size playing field the instructable suggests a 37" flat screen. It can be built using smaller or a short throw projector built into the base. Monitor for the back glass/scoring section. Arcade Buttons Keyboard Encoder


Task List

  • Source materials and initial design.
