This is a PID controlled ball on a plate machine with the sole goal of keeping the ping pong ball bouncing for as long as possible. I have been trying to build ball bouncing machines for a while now. This is the newest iteration!

This is a post about an old project I finished years ago. Maybe something good will come from looking back on what kind of decisions I made while working this monstrosity of an Arduino Delta Robot.
The Quest To Get A Machine To Juggle
This entry is about the quest to get a machine to juggle a ping pong ball.
I started thinking about a ping pong ball juggler 2 years ago. And it was around that time that I built the first one of them. it uses LED – Photo transistor pairs to “see” when and approximately where the ball comes down. I used 4 micro servos to move a wooden plate. It’s the machine in the first YouTube video.
