VirtualPong

  Challenge 1

Inspiration

Wanted to add a new twist to a old time classic. Needed to have a fresh take on an old spin.

What it does

Uses ultrasonic sensors to determine the distance. This distance will act as the paddle in the virtual space.

How I built it

I used an Adruino Uno R3 and the main board. Programmed the single board computer using the Arduino IDE software. Then i actually wire all the components together. After that's complete, I then use the Processing IDE to check the sensor data from the Arduino board in real time.

Challenges I ran into

An ethernet shield wasn't available, so i couldn't connect my project to the cloud for multiple player action.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

It's reading the sensors!

What I learned

Can't accomplish everything alone.

What's next for VirtualPong

Get the ethernet shield or use another SBC.
