Pokemon Topper for Stern Pinball

Please read carefully what else you need and how I did the wiring. If you still have questions… then this is not the right project :-) This product is a handmade unique piece (DIY). Use at your own risk. I assume no liability for damages, injuries, or consequential damages resulting from the use, improper handling, or faulty function of the product. The user is responsible for checking the safety and functionality before use.

You need to print all 4 Pokeballs and process them further. Drill a hole in the bottom (5mm is enough) for a 3x0.14 cable.
Fit the control horns into the lid and glue them firmly with superglue.

Please read carefully what else you need and how I did the wiring. If you still have questions… then this is not the right project :-)

You still need some accessories:

12V-5V voltage converter for 1x Arduino Uno R3 and LED rings
Mini Servos SG90 9G are intended as motors. These should receive a capacitor of 1000uF in the 5V connection to smooth out voltage spikes and motor "jitter". Cable 4x0.14 and 3x0.14 or similar...

The Arduino is wired as follows:

Button to trigger animation: to Pin 2 against GND

Servo    Signal Pin
SM1    3
SM2    5
SM3    6
SM4    9

Red → external 5 V

Brown/Black → GND

Signal → respective Pin

The LEDs are assigned to the outputs as follows
Each ring has:

5V

GND

DIN

Ring    Data Pin
Ring1    10
Ring2    11
Ring3    12
Ring4    13

Connection per ring:

5V → external 5 V

GND → common ground

DIN → respective Pin

330 Ω resistor between Arduino Pin and DIN respectively

and one 1000 µF electrolytic capacitor between 5V and GND of the entire 5V power supply

LED Rings:
4x LED rings with 8 WS2812 5050 5 V
The signal line D1 must receive a 330 Ohm resistor from you… otherwise, you risk burning out the first LED in the ring.

For the sign and Grass LED strip:
12V LED strip RGB and 2x LED Controller RGB

For connection to the Stern Pinball powerboard (at your own risk)
Socket and crimp contacts

To control the Pokeballs, I used pre-made control horns with pushrods.
