PinGod

PinGod is a homebrew pinball machine project that allows enthusiasts to build their own custom pinball tables using readily available hardware and software. The project focuses on creating a flexible and accessible platform for pinball enthusiasts to design, build, and play unique pinball experiences. It provides the software framework and guidance for integrating modern electronics with traditional pinball mechanics.

The core of PinGod is its software, which is open-source and runs on affordable microcontrollers like the Raspberry Pi. This software handles game logic, scoring, light effects, and sound playback. Users can program their own game rules, create custom artwork for the playfield and backglass, and integrate various actuators and sensors to create their desired pinball gameplay.

PinGod aims to lower the barrier to entry for pinball machine creation. By offering a standardized software solution and a supportive community, it enables individuals to move beyond playing commercial machines to actively designing and constructing their own. This can range from recreating classic pinball tables to developing entirely new game concepts. The project encourages creativity and technical exploration within the pinball hobbyist community.
