Why? ◦ More natural for people ◦ Control ◦ Efficiency Implementation ◦ Air Hockey Classic Game Transfers well to Surface
The controller will be the combination of the Microcontroller, IMU, Bluetooth, and Battery
Arduino Uno ◦ Good Documentation ◦ Open Source ◦ Arduino Protoshield ◦ Total of 20 I/O pins (14 Digital/6 Analog)
Bluetooth Modem – BlueSMiRF Silver ◦ Protoshield ◦ Small ◦ Short range wireless communication
Consists of Gyroscope and Accelerometer 5 Degrees of Freedom ◦ 5 different axis Compact Design
IDG500 ◦ 2 Axis of measurement X -> Pitch Y -> Roll 2 Modes of Output ◦ X/Y ◦ X/Y4.5
ADXL335 ◦ Triple Axis ◦ Extremely small ◦ Compatibility
IDG500 ◦ Tilt The ADXL335 ◦ Direct position Data Processor Surface Input Included
Restrictions ◦ Size of playing surface ◦ Accuracy More strategy ◦ Pace of play ◦ Users acquire abilities
Blender More realistic Demonstrates Abilities Rough Model of the Hockey Puck
Testing ◦ Touchscreen/Tilt/Direct Control ◦ Reactions and Opinions Debugging ◦ Controller and Game Main Goal
