Aim
The aim of the project is to count the goal
Problem statement
Keeping an accurate count of basketball shots made during practice or games is essential for players and coaches. The challenge is to create an automatic basketball counter system that can reliably detect and record successful shots in real-time, providing a user-friendly and efficient way to track individual and team performance while ensuring accuracy and adaptability to various basketball hoop setups.
Material used
Input: IR proximity sensor
Brain: TinkerSpace Brain Board
Output: Buzzer+LCD display
Battery: 5V Lithium-ion rechargeable battery
Component description
IR proximity sensor
The function of IR Proximity sensor is to detect the ball and send the signal to the Brain unit (TinkerSpace board).
Buzzer
The function of the Buzzer is produce sound
LCD display
The function of the LCD Display is to display the count
TinkerSpace Brain Board
TinkerSpace board acts as brain of this project, its function is to monitor IR Proximity sensor and control the Buzzer and LCD Display
Battery
5V Lithium-Ion battery is used to power-up this project
Working description
Case 1: When the ball is detected by IR Proximty sensor,the sensor turns ON and sends signal 1 to the TinkerSpace brain board(brain).The brain board turns on the buzzer and display the count on the LCD Display
Case 2: When no ball is detected by IR Proximty sensor,the sensor turns OFF and sends signal to the TinkerSpace brain board(brain).
Circuit Design (DesignSpace)
Step 1: Open TCode App -> Create New project -> Open DesignSpace
Step 2: Connect the IR Proximity sensor to INPUT 2 of the Brain board.
Step 3: Connect Buzzer to Output 1 and LCD Display to Output 3 of the Brain Board.
Step 4: Connect supply and test project.
