I’ve always wanted to make digital beads. A traditional string of beads with a numerical display of how many beads are on a players side. I play 14.1 and use beads instead of the counter.

I had to do this on the computer because I guess there is no longer any way to record touch location on the iPhone. You can select your distance before or after the shot. I like to do it before so that I don’t forget what it was. A vertical red line will appear most of the time which indicates...

Excellent! That helps validate the accumulation of 8 years of hard work. I am trying to set up a match locally this summer with a DigiBall and live commentary to see how it goes.

Do you find value added from the DigiBall overlay when watching better players?

Looks like he just filed. I wish you luck with the prosecution! https://patents.google.com/patent/GB202502798D0/en?q=(Guy+J%C3%A9mus)&oq=Guy+J%C3%A9mus

Ok. Sorry, I never made clean a comprehensive point! That is, Just be careful to never let balls be something you blame. It’s a rabbit hole.

I still think they are already using Duramith resin but I will check.

The size difference in the pictures is an illusion 0.1mm is the thickness of a piece of paper. 5 grams is only .17oz, not half an ounce. I still say those specs are too small to notice and such claims are psychological. If you were to be presented two sets of balls with these difference in...

the ball diameters do look very different in your picture. Wild. Do you have a caliper?

This is mostly perception and ball cleanliness. There is very little difference in the actual balls regarding playability.

Yes, he started a discussion with a working prototype. It is far from a finished product but he proved already he is serious about his idea. He claims he even has a patent pending. His next step is to realize he just began his journey instead of completed it, and take criticism non emotionally.

That seems about right. It would also eliminate a ton of certifications he has to go through that he probably isn't aware of, saving him thousands of dollars.

Neat prototype. Surprised at how consistent the stimpmeter roll is. I had this idea but it used a swinging arm to place the ball, yours is more simple. Have you evaluated the market to identify the value added and demand for your product? Have you thought about simplifying it for actual...

I’ll give the feedback to Aramith. @iusedtoberich can you throw the ball in a cleaner and see how it turns out?

Maybe in the future. I need 9V, not 5V, and a boost converter adds cost and complicates emissions compliance. I originally had a design with USB C and moved to an AC adapter. Also possible but adds a handful of parts, plus raw battery voltage of a LIPO isn’t necessarily representative of the...

Yes it is important to enable permissions.

I work in Milford which is 5 minutes down the road from EPCO. I am familiar with them.

@iusedtoberich I suspect that this problem may have to do with the app not always restarting BLE scanning when it regains focus. Please try opening and closing different tabs and restarting the app on devices where you are seeing trouble. Go to the devices tab a wait 5 seconds. and let me know...

Piezoelectric sensors not only need to be large but only generate micro amps of current. The charger charges at 10mA, and that isn’t even that much power. So not applicable because of the orders of magnitude difference. Plus that is only slightly more than the internal leakage current of the...

I think it is Duramith. It could just need cleaning. This single ball not only went through Aramith’s testing and my personal testing, but also traveled around the country to 10 locations, and still works exactly the same. This was part of the final test and it looks like the ball holds up...
