God-level DIY: Multi-function game competition based on MPS430 MCU

Like a humorous host, huge cash rewards, and on-site active spectators, the answering machine is an essential tool in the game competition. However, in the competition of Ti India's Quiz Club regularly organized by employees, it lacked such an important agency. In order to solve this problem, the employee responsible for organizing the competition decided to buy a sighter suitable for the player on the market, but they quickly realized that it is not as simple as the right product is not as simple as the imagination, because the warns on the market are too expensive. Some prices have even more than $ 200 and are very limited. Like a lot of excellent engineers, with its purchase of an expensive, functional limit and unsatisfactory product, TI employees Dantes John decided to make a game-catching. Dantes designed multi-function game answers "TI has organized some of the competitions participating in India, so I would like a device with customization and we need to meet our needs." Dantes from the TI audio amplifier team. In this way, Dantes found an MSP430 LaunchPad Microcontroller (MCU) in the office and started designing this game competition system. He put the MSP430 MCU in an old square tin box, and created 6 connection paths, so that you can use 6 players at all times. In addition, he has an LED indicator that will illuminate whenever the player presses the answer. When some hardware issues have been solved, Dantes also connects the MSP430 MCU to his personal computer via USB and start writing software code. 6 connection paths inside the answer "I wrote a cross-platform software and designed a few simple games, one of which is very similar to Jeopardy. At the same time, this software also allows others to write software according to their own game type requirements," Dantes said. "There is no doubt that this DIY's game responder exceeds our expectations, and I firmly believe that this kind of agency exceeds the same price on the market in all aspects." Intelligent score recording system The entire system cost designed by Dentes is only 30 US dollars. Now, any game competition organized by Quiz Club has a rush system that determines the order of the player's answer, and this system can also display the problem and have a score logging. This successful creation ignited Dantes to DIY enthusiasm, and he thought of using Ti's device to make Next-generation DIY equipment. Dantes said: "TI's SimpleLink Wi-Fi CC3200 LaunchPad can provide me with greater time, I hope to design a wireless system in the near future."
