We had a great meeting last Saturday! There were a lot of good ideas and
suggestions made, and everyone seems really excited about our new display. To
summarize the interface between modules, the inputs are 6 inches high, and at
the meeting we decided the output should be at least 12 inches high. Talking
with Gus after the meeting, I think that a 9 inch high output will probably be
good enough, so anything between 9 and 12 would be good. Ball rate should
minimally be one ball every ten seconds, with twice that being a good goal. And
faster is better, but much more important is reliability. Your devices should be
able to run for eight hours or so without requiring (much) maintenance, and
without loosing balls or switching their order (unless you accurately unswitch
them later).
There was a request for another meeting on July 23rd. I will book a room for
that date, and send a confirmation email soon. At the meeting we will put
together what has been built so far to iron out difficulties, and inspire each
other! Remember, the more modules, the more interesting this will be!
By the way, Dan, who volunteered to build the ball hoppers, could you email me.
Since our two units interface directly with each other much more tightly than
the other units probably will, I'd like to discuss what we need from each other.
Remove the spam bot from my email address. Thanks!
