DESCRIPTION |
A push-pull
solenoid is actuated to release the ball after the player has set the level
difficulty and is ready to play. A push
button controls the solenoid to be pulled and once the ball is sensed at the
bottom drain after play, the solenoid will be pushed back outward. The motor circuit entails a L293B H-Bridge
circuit to not overload the solenoid. |
