Making a Mini Whack A Mole Game 

This is absolutely fantastic and informative. Thank you so much for making this videp and providing your code.

You are amazing sir! That was a great tutorial.

Great project, well documented and explained. Really enjoyed watching your approach to custom coil winding. Look forward to more from your channel.

Very impressive 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

Awesome approach!! Do you know how much lifting power your DIY solenoids have?

This is awsome! Excellent work. I can't believe you have so few view counts with such a great video. This needs to be posted on Hackaday! I'll drop a word on their tip line.

I'm guessing mounting the "mole" directly on top of the solenoid is a bad idea. Is this purely because it would require a stronger solenoid or is it also a safety mechanism against damage and/or direct shock ? ? ? I'm wondering how much it would be to make one for my cat and how I could have it run through a 2 - 5 min random sequence at the press of a button or motion sensor. Would you be interested in making a video on such a project ? A pet centered whack a mole game that activates when the pet approaches it and carries out a randomized sequence so it doesn't bore them the third or fourth time it's been activated and it's not ON all the time to eat up power and equally force disinterest. Personally, if I had the resources/time I would take it further I would probably add a biscuit/treat dispenser at the side so when the time has run down whether the cat has hit the moles or not it dispenses a few biscuits from a small rotary dispenser much like gumballs from a gumball dispenser.

hi, can you make a video with linked files for the coil winder? It would be nice not to have to do this by hand! much appreciated!

Great project, thank you. Is it possible to make with 5 moles?
