'non-wearing pin ball exit lane sensor'
Wouldn't a hall effect transistor detecting the metal ball be a better option?
'never heard back from'
and after all that work! Prototype, 300 lines of code, pics, vids, a fully working example handed to him to boot. After (circa end of Feb) a week of no response to his PM, I made the assumption that the two of you were working together off forum to complete his project.
Not a total loss @allObjects as I learned some coding techniques! Maybe use for the next Espruino Instructables feature?
Comparison shot and schema show differences... in number of components (resistors) as well as values...
But nice of this this breakout board design it that - when solder jumper SJ1 (LED) is cut, LED can be controlled / reused externally... - thinking now about the reaction game with multiple sensors with LEDs turning on randomly and have to be turned of by touching as quickly as possible... (and: @DrAzzy: non-wearing pin ball exit lane sensor! ...worth a try... never heard back from @matencio ...)
