I set your flair to "Look what I made", so that it gets captured in our monthly digests.

Thanks for sharing.

If you add a public link to the code (ideally a github link) and a circuit diagram as some people have asked (and let me know), I will consider changing the flair to "mod's choice" which will give you prime placement in the monthly digest.

If you had three screens would it know which screen it should send the marbles?

Well done 👍🏼 You shouldn't have explained the magic ✨ You made me think for while how the microcontrollers understood that they where besides eachother, är what angle, at what place.

What I'm curious about is where exactly your creative ideas originate from.

how do the sensors know know which side the other screen is on

u/flygoing Aug 22 '26

He explains in the video. tl;dr: they don't, when a marble leaves 1 screen it appears at a fixed location on the other screen

u/IndividualRites Aug 22 '26

Looks to just come from the center of the "new" screen.

u/flygoing Aug 22 '26

Yes he shows exactly that in the later part of the video
