Title: Pics of my tilt switch to detect side/ front bump for 1/2 pinball control panel

Hi,

here are the pics of the tilt switch to detect the side/front  bumps
of my 1/2 pinball control panel:

I'm lucky because 2 of the bumps are on the same wire of my keyboard matrix (Space and / )

I have chosen screws because I can ajust the sensivity the way I like it.

thanks

interesting.. but do we really need a new thread every time you post new pics? you can just keep one thread and update it.  ???

Title: resume of the result of the bump tilt pendulum switch

Hi,

I have tested my new bump tilt pendulum switch.

The best result is when the distance between cone of the tilt switch ans the adjustments screws have a gap of 1 milimeter.

If greater... the table need to be pushed much harder.

For now the surfaces between my arcade cabinet and 1/2 pinball controller are very rough ...I need to soften those to ease the bumping.

thanks
