Description
UPDATE 6/25/2020: Fixed pinion gear for better fit on shaft.
This USB pinball shooter is designed to work with an inexpensive shooter available from multiple sources. I got mine for $20 from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DCQYJTJ/
It uses a 600P/R 5VDC Incremental Rotary Encoder with a 6mm shaft and an Arduino Pro Micro development board, both available on Amazon and other sources.
This setup emulates mouse Y-axis movement. Other free 3rd party software is required for this to work with pinball emulators. Links to all required files are in the instructions at https://bit.ly/diy_pinball_shooter.
Designed to print without supports. These files have been uploaded in the proper printing orientation.
