Ironically, those speaker grill covers will help to keep the spiders out! |

--- Quote from: Ond on March 08, 2024, 06:15:19 am ---I have a question for anyone willing to give it some thought. I want to have pinball nudging as a feature, at least left and right nudge. I don't want to use buttons for this. I have some ideas for how to make this happen but I'm also interested in suggestions. The most important thing is very low lag i.e. pretty much zero lag for the nudge action to register in-game. Mechanical tilt is a feature used in Vpins so why not physical nudge? Forgive me if this is already 'a thing' I'm a Vpin newbie after all. --- End quote --- How about a floating lockbar with switches behind the lip of the lockbar for your directional nudging? Left, right, and push front to back. |

@Nephasth This is a good idea - the best nudges are from the lockbar anyway, so it makes intuitive sense. How to implement this practically is a harder question. Nudging the lockbar is an art. You probably don't want to feel like you are banging a spring. Over to the thinktank (Ond). |

I haven't used one myself, but I've seen these recommended for nudging on Vpins: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005003546042061.html It would probably be possible to use it for tilt detection too. |
