Hi.
I have a friend whos opening a mini golf and wants to make the final hole a game to get on the leaderboard.
I said using my semi knowledge of electronics should be able to make something.
The idea is to have like the carnival game with bowling ball to the rings for points but using a golf ball.
This will be designed like the attached image.
What i would like is to have the score show on a 7seg 3 digit display and then also log onto a pc (xl spread sheet or something like that)
What my idea was to put a micro switch in the tubes so when the ball goes through it will trigger the score, then the second ball triggers the second score and the third ball (3 balls will make the scores more different than 1 or 2) then add all 3 together and display the total then log via serial (if thats the simplest ) so we can see behind the desk scores then when they return the club tells us the name etc so we can add to the xl spreadsheet. then at the end of the week the winner gets a prize.
Im hoping this isnt too hard to make and some kind person will help
cheers
