The following information is provided to build or develop your own pachinko counter based upon the Arduino MEGA platform.
The custom plastic face plate and wood housing do not have to be used but are available here and from other sources.
This whole page and the idea of the counter comes courtesy of our friend Carl. It was his idea how to make pachinko more interesting by challenging your friends to see who got a better score. The best part is this counter can be applied to almost any type of pachinko machine.

Additional libraries are required to compile the source code; this zip file contains the additional library files utilized for the original compilation. These folders should be placed in the Arduino libraries folder similar to other library files.
The PCB can be ordered from many sources:
This is a zip file with the source code to order the PCB from seeedstudio.
And instructions on how to order from seeedstudio:
One can make their own cables, or order here or from other sources.
These are sketches of the custom cables used for the shield.
