Well, it's because those guys knows everything that they'll notice the little things you might have missed :)

Have fun first !

The pinsetter is either "on" or "off", there are no other states to manage. Once it's on, it runs indefinitely: it sets the pins, clears the alley, resets the remaining pins, and repeats the cycle, all without any external control.

On mine, I do have some "feedback info" on which pins are down + a signal to "when" to score points, but this is optional as you can also write your score manually if you have no scoring computer system.

Lol, nice! It depends on what you mean by "owning a bowling center," but it looks like there are at least two of us into this :D

I bought a really old fully mechanical (and automated!) mini bowling lane. It works without a CPU, except for the score display, which originally used a 1970 Intel D8749H (MCS-48)!

Just like yours, the only thing that turns this machine on is a single relay :D On my model, I also get feedback on the pin status and a "ball received" signal, so I can trigger the scoring.

I dumped the firmware and replaced the display PCB with a more recent DIY PCB with an Arduino that speaks a modern, documented protocol. It's now compatible with ScoreMore software, and I can do a lot more with it.

Here are some pictures and more info on the Bowltech forum (you should post your stuff here too!):

Senior SRE / Fullstack / Maker & Hardware hacker

2013-2018: Founding engineer of Scaleway

For the last 3 years I have been working at a self-sustained startup as a DevOps/SRE focusing on global performance improvements, reducing cloud budgets, enhancing architecture, bootstrapping the platform to China in compliance with RGPD and PIPL, security fixes, added CICD pipelines, added K8S, SSO SAML Auth and various other interesting tasks.

I'm a valuable asset if you need someone capable of greatly improving various aspects of your company. I also mentor other developers and love to share knowledge on what I know. I want to keep things clean, simple, and easily expandable for others. I’m capable of taking the smart shortcuts to implement the critical path and unlock the business.

My side projects involve hardware and software, where I create and develop fun stuff such as a self-playing piano, custom-made arcade machines, reverse engineering, restoring cars etc… I have a broad range of interests, and I apply this in my daily life. I'm the guy who gets called when nobody can fix something.

Currently, I am working 80%, but I am open to considering other offers.

Thanks for reading !

I made a player piano from scratch ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atJ_YsPFDjQ (improved since I took the video).

I do a LOT of custom stuff (mechanics, woodworking, house rebuilding, electronics, ...) but this is my favorite one yet, kind of sad I'm bad at showing the stuff I make :D

If you have any idea of what kind of job I could do to make use of all these skills I would be happy to have your thoughts !

Well you can do amazing things with svg animations; there are a lot of interesting examples here that would be hard to reproduce in CSS: https://css-tricks.com/guide-svg-animations-smil/ (like try to do the car following a line example in css ...) but I try to stick to css animations for better "reviewability" of the code. SVG animation is a niche thing :)

Fun :D it remembers me when I did this index.svg page like 10 years ago: https://vik.io/index.svg

I then used svg animation, but still seems to work perfectly today !
