[edit] AVR Foosball Table

This project involves using an avr microcontroller to create a customized scoreboard for the foosball table in the lab. This is going to be a pimping table, with ir sensors, reset capability, maybe even network access

[edit] Specifications

This project will involve the following:

  • ATMEL AVR microcontroller
    • ATTINY or ATmega328
    • Going to be programmed:
      • Entirely in assembly
      • Using the AVR GNU toolchain in linux
      • with modular consideration for later modification
  • Pushbutton switches
    • Enough to provide a logical interface to use
  • 7 Segment led display
    • 2 pairs of displays, to allow for EXTREME GAMES
    • count up to 99 score on each side
  • IR Sensors
    • placed into the goals to detect balls
    • Have no compassion
    • Have no feelings
    • Do not forgive
    • Are REALLY anal
  • Wires
    • Made of revolutionary CONDUCTION technology
    • Transmit data from one place to another in a fashionable way
    • Will recieve magical signals from the airwaves to accentuate the data
    • uses the speed of light
