Basketball 24/14 shot clock

Projects General Guidance
1

Hello everybody.

I'm new here and would like to know if anyone can help running a 24/14 shot clock project for basketball.

These are the objectives:

  • two 24/14 sec markers (1 for each board) with 12V led strips, with 15 cm per strip( Photo1 )
    Photo 1

  • each marker countsdown from 24 or 14 seconds to 0 and when the time reaches zero, it triggers a horn

  • console with buttons for:

    • start 24 sec countsdown
    • start 14 sec countsdown
      -time stop and continue (same button)
      -on/off button

If possible wireles..

Thank you all

What kind of the help do you expect from the forum? Did you try to manage your project yourself? Please show us your efforts.

The forum is not the place where the code will be writen on demand.

hello,

I have no programming knowledge, what I've seen are codes from videos on YouTube or pages (here for example), but they don't have what I need.

I have some stuff like shift register tpic6b595n ( I think it's compatible with what I need ) and the Arduino one.

Thanks

I think it would be more easily to use addressable led strips for clock digits. In this case you don't need a shift registers.

I will research about addressable led strips and the cost for what I need..

I already tried to do something with the shift registers and the connections and soldering part was a headache

thanks

I have a library for 7 segment display with Neopixels.

However, to display things is just one part. First you have to design your program logic how to switch between 24/14sec.

May be the combination of example 30 and 40.
