Hello,
We have a neat indoor basketball game with 2 baskets, and unfortunately, the electronic scoreboard entirely busted. The manufacturer, Sportcraft, filed for bankruptcy. (Here's the actual product https://www.walmart.com/ip/Sportcraft-Step-Back-3-Basketball-Game/15524465)
I'd like to build an entirely new scoreboard system to tap into my inner geek, and wondering about how to approach a few parts of the problem.
1. There's a lever that is deployed when a basket goes in. This connects to what looks like a pretty standard 4 prong "phone" cord. This would communicate to know that a basket goes in.
2. There needs to be some kind of LED scoreboard, driven by 2 inputs:
a. Baskets going into the respective basket.
b. Some type of "control" panel that turns it on/off.
3. The scoreboard should have some kind of timer function.
So, combining these different inputs - any advice on how to attack the problem?
Many thanks!
