Generic Specifications

Front view of the robot (above). Rear view of the electronics with the back panel removed (at left). This is a three-axis robot arm with a gripper. The unit is powered by stepper motors and pneumatics. The stepper motors are visible (left) at the top: two to the left and one to the right, responsible for the X, Y and Z axes of movement. The three stepper-motor controllers are the black and two green boards in the 2x2 square of circuit boards at center right center. Power supplies line the right and bottom sides, each with a large black transformer and all but one with a bright blue capacitor. The two gray units at the lower left are timers. The CPU board is the plain green board at the center.


X axis stepper motor:
Oriental Motor Company VEXTA, Model PK268-02A.
Z axis stepper motor:
Oriental Motor Company VEXTA, Model PK268-02A-C36


Y axis stepper motor:
Oriental Motor Company VEXTA, Model PK268-02A.

All are 2-phase, 1.8 degree, DC 6 volt, 1.2 amp steppers.

Bally Slot Machine Reel and Motor

The old-fashion mechanical slot machine reels did stop at random. No one knew where each reel would stop. The best that can be said for the new slot machine reels is that they are "virtually random." Ironically, the computer knows exactly where each wheel will stop and precisely computes the motion of each reel, its inital spin and slow down, in order to stop it there. The "odds" are precisely controlled by the programmer. The computer might just as well have told the player up front whether she has won or lost, since the spinning wheels are simply smoke and mirrors. The bipolar motor uses the Ericsson PBL 3770A driver chip.
