a fun way to practice with little light-up bumpers
The goal of this project is to create a simple and cheap light bumpers systems.
today my wife saw a facebook add for BlasePODS, and instantly wanted it. then she saw the price ; Then I saw the product :) and it's clear that it's quite simple to create...
I didn't find many sources.
- the best so far was https://www.instagram.com/projectswithalex/ 's one (https://github.com/projectswithalex/Reaction-Lights-Training-Module)
- a wired project https://create.arduino.cc/projecthub/science-camp/light-trainer-55eb60
- an interesting projet which seems nipped in the bud (thanks google translate for the expression, in France we say "killed in the egg" !) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aLupsy850e0
I thing it would be cool to have a master pad for confirguration and on screen score display (that may be wired), and 3 to 6 wireless pads.
At first glance:
main board
- ESP32 board
captors
- infrared proximity captors
- maybe piezzo mics for vibration detection
- maybe a dedicated mic for the master, to get music beats
user interfaces
- RGB leds to be defined for the satellites
- maybe a small screen or a RGB matrix for the master
power
- usb power suppy for the master
- l18560 batteries for the satellites (i love those !)
- "get the light" : one of the satellites lights on, and stay until user interaction, then another one lights. gaming example : how many time did it takes to punch 10 lights ?
- "music beats" : the light change every detected music beat, the screen continiously display the average of the xx last beats
- "memory game" : (as seen at futuroscope park) : reproduce sequence of 1, 2, 3, 4... lights combos
- "battle" : two players, one color per player, the satellites randomly lights
- ... to be continued
well... I thin I'll start on T4 2022. Then why start this project now ? to save ideas and needs ! But I'll eventually start with a POC
an arduino version with 4 or 5 wired satellites, simple white leds and AZDelivery KY-002 vibration sensor
