    First I have to DO it, and confirm it... But then, yes, I'll share all of the details with the forum. A lot has changed since the Gaku counters were made, and we should be able to take advantage of this.

    Welcome!

    As someone who purchased a few of the Gaku counters in the past I can say they worked pretty well. But an arduino system works much better. I have plans for one linked on our website. These plans were created by member CarlW who is super knowledgeable on this stuff and put together a really good set of instructions. The only down side is I remember all of the components were a bit pricey and the wiring is well, a mess (at least to me). I still have a machine with one of Carl's arduino counters hooked up. I also got a Gaku counter in a box somewhere....I think.

    Edit: Looks like over the years some of the file download links on our site got broken. I'll get those fixed in the coming weeks...

    Mxfaiman, thanks for the reply! I'm happy to see that you're well down this path of an Arduino solution. I'm just a retired engineer with time on my hands, and certainly have no ambitions to take the world of pachinko instrumentation by storm. So more power to you, and perhaps at some point I might have something to contribute to the conversation.
