[QUOTE="oldredfox, post: 127461, member: 4011"] Thanks for that quick build. =) It's nice to see a discount/close out piece of hardware get a cool second life thanks to your work. My C programming is pretty weak, PASCAL is pretty much my main language of choice for coding. I'm guessing right now you have it set to start pressing the key when the plunger is pulled back and then release it when it is back all the way in. Just a random idea for implementation: since there are 64 levels of where the plunger is at, you could try something like not pressing the key when the plunger is pulled back. Instead, set a variable based off the current location, then when drops to zero, trigger a keypress for set amount of time relative to the last value of the plunger. If set to look for a drop to zero in under a second as the trigger, this would allow for you to be able to make subtle adjustments to find the sweet spot for any given table before releasing the plunger to trigger the ball launch. This might give it a real table feel and reduce the odds of a crash/closing the app from causing any issues. [/QUOTE]
