Wireless quiz controller

thingiverse

This project features a wireless quiz controller housed within laser-cut acrylic casing. Developed during 'Design of Mechatronics' at Technical University of Denmark, it interacts with a game server and involves multiple students. One box is designed for testing with an Arduino Pro Micro; libraries compatible with the Uno are currently being sought. The project also includes a simple quiz server uploadable on a similar device as the controller setup. For more details, visit their blog: http://mechatronicsgroupoprimero.wordpress.com/category/project-iii/. To recreate the game controller, you'll need an Arduino Uno (two for simultaneous quizzing), joysticks with built-in buttons (like a PlayStation controller), NRF2401L+ wireless communication unit, 9V battery connector, jumper cables, and these libraries: OLED screen. For casing and component assembly, prepare an acrylic sheet (5mm thickness; 2 x 50 cm x 20 cm), M2.5 bolts/nuts (8x) and M3 bolts/nuts (4x), and acetone for gluing the box parts together. Don't forget to add these libraries to your Arduino library folder: RF24 (https://github.com/stanleyseow/RF24) & u8glib (https://code.google.com/p/u8glib/). For setup, first gather all components, follow the hardware instructions in 'Wirelessproject_Done.ino', laser-cut box1_og_2.ai or .pdf for casing parts, assemble with acetone and bolts/nuts, and power your Arduino via a 9V battery. Enjoy quizzing!
