- My brother asked me to combine a couple of things to convert a kids game into a loud drinking game.

This isn't the only way to do it.
It's probably not the best way to do it.
But it's how I did it.
That’s bloody brilliant. Thanks, my brother !
For the record (and those who might be interested) this thing is going to be plugged into a giant PA party speaker so that if you do biff it and touch the sidewall, it should make you skid your Fruit-Of-The Looms 😂
You have a nasty sense of humor.
I like you.
Should've installed a high voltage shocker that goes off at random.
They totally replaced the original incandescent bulb with an LED. And yes, we used to practice malpractice lawsuits with this game back in the 1970s 😂
I think the reason your infrared sensor didn't work is because the remote probably uses a 48k carrier signal. You need a remote control infrared sensor (those integrated ones with 3 legs and look like a transistor) that decodes the signal from the carrier sensor.
This is my first thought as well
yea it doesn't have a built-in demodulator, ReceiveDemo would have printed the raw codes if it didn't recognize a *demodulated* signal
Now, you need an external reset button for the light.
Just wanted to say your channel is one of my favourites hands down. It started with your train layout ( I have a model train empire in Nscale ,DCC of course) then I found all your channel content and was hooked. I love all things Tech and general messin around with stuff. Keep up with the great content ,love it !! PT from Windsor Park (not too far from you) You made Winnipeg proud ,as well as micro brews.
Green coated is normally an inductor.
😂 That's the most Canadian hack I've ever seen. I like it.
Before even watching the video I was instantly reminded of BigClive making a HUGE red button for his brother Ralphy.
Nice, all I made for my brother was an oversized UV light for looking at fungi in Manitoba (-:
I've never seen an adult open a can in such a manner. Whatever works. 🍻
Doing stuff with a camera in the way leads to some creative solutions...
Haha that brings back a lot of memories when I was a kid I had one of the older ones obviously cuz I was a kid then :-) and I kind of did the same thing but yet I just rigged it up to a small horn cuz I don't remember it vibrating. :-) Kind of the same principal except it was much easier just hooking two wires to the output that went to the nose! :-) of course it was a long time ago so it was the older model.
Nice. A couple of things I would have checked, (maybe you did, but did'nt mention them).
I would have tried a TV remote to turn on the alert and an IR LED by itself. Also I'd have hooked the IR LED in the sender to a scope to see what sort of pattern it sent out. If it's just pulses, a 555 could be used. Just thoughts.
I did take a look on the scope, it was a signal modulated onto a high KHZ square wave, but my ancient analog scope couldn't lock onto any discernible pattern in the modulated signal.
There was nothing interesting enough to show on video - just blur.
@@pileofstuff That's fair enough. I love my old analog scope, but for ease of use you can't beat the modern digital ones. I've got a cheap Chinesium one.
Not being Canadian, I’ve never seen one of these things. What’s with the map of symbols on the back, does it make other noises?
Each team's home arena has a different sounding horn or siren played when a goal is scored. The symbols are the teams' logos. This thing can select any team's sound
@@pileofstuff Ah, okay. That makes sense.
You could 3D print some studs to hold the cardboard in.
This is a fun project! Would love to see more of this sort of stuff
Missed that detail.
more electronics fun! is this your day job? lol Tests players' hand-eye coordination and fine motor skills. The game's prototype was invented in 1964 by University of Illinois industrial-design student John Spinello, who sold his rights to renowned toy designer Marvin Glass for $500
Jst we think alike.
Im guessing you tried the scope. A brief clip allowing us to pause and look at the pattern could be a good compromise for those who want to see vs those who don't.
I did, but it wouldn't sync to the signal. I spent a long time trying (and failing) to get an image that could be interpreted.
That's a limitation of an old analog scope when trying to figure out digital signals.
.
If any manufacturers of modern digital scopes happen to be watching, I'm open to sponsorships...
@@pileofstuff A sound card oscilloscope could be a nice little project which would help in cases like this.
Look up the fcc id:???
wow that's really cheaply made
