    Default New cab design

    So I've designed a new three machine cabinet. I've bought all the electronic components including ball lifter and now starting to frame it in. I'll post pics as it goes but here is the rough concept. It uses 2 inch trave actuators for the gates, magnetic detectors that sense balls and for control of the gates and ball lifter. Comments are welcome and appreciated.

    Unless you have a shut off feed gate per machine. Its a good idea to have a switch on each machine door so the lifter can't start if a machine is open.

    There are three gates I just labeled 1. And each machine as well as the upper ball storage has a farious metal detector for control. Machine hopper controls the gates via 2 inch actuators and upper ball one turns on lifter.

    Nice! I want to mount my machine in the wall of my gamer oomph using a ball lifter someday. Doors and windows complicate things. Looking forward to seeing how things progress!

    So I have about worn out my wife for the week but it might be worth it. I. New to thee hobby but not new to hobbys by any means and it took over. It's working with credits to individual machines as such. The only thing now is a Bessel for card reader and fill the leaks. I'll post a video soon but I've called on my wife beyond what she signed up for.
