Hello all, a typical electrician here thinking he can have it all easy and simple:)
Im just getting into Arduino, of course, and Im probably getting ahead of myself by wanting to do a specific project before accomplishing the basics first but here I go.
Sparkfun created a cornhole board with addressable leds programmed to count up with the press of a button. But the site with all the good stuff ( the step by step tutorial 
) is deactivated.
Ive been reading up on the FASTled library, simple counter code and some push button code...but I am overwhelmed when i start to picture how to combine the code.
Am I on the right path?
Is there an example of this in a library somewhere?
Sparkfuns Cornhole
This has rf communication to the other board...and i would omit this just to make it a little simpler to learn on this project.
What I would like:
Two 21 led strips controlled by one Arduino. 4 buttons, 2 per strip (or team) one button up one button down
When button "up" pressed the first addressable led will light (any color say red)
When button press hits "21" the lights all go black and stay off (Reset)
Button "down" used for correction of score
The internet archive way back machine may have a copy of the site. It might be worth a shot.
the wayback machine had something.
Thanks for your idea. currently looking through what they did have, for the code page but has the step by step guide if anyone is interested.
Thanks
Cornhole score keeper code
Never would have thought to look it up on the way back machine...never really use that...only hear about it when someone gets "cancelled" LoL
Was hesitant to post this topic for a couple reasons but im glad I did. Appreciate the help. Im sure i will be back needing help with the actual build.
Should I start a topic in a different thread to show my progress or would posting to this be ok? I see some members are sticklers for rules...and im not an active forum poster.
If anyone has a minute to look at this project and let me know if there are newer or better products to use since this project was designed atleast 4 years ago.
Thanks again
It could be done with NRF24L01+ or even ESP8266’s. Personally, I’d go with the NF24’s as they are cheaper and you can buy Nano’s with them built in. They are called RF Nano and they can be found on eBay and Aliexpress. Would save a bunch of work. Depends on how much you want to build.
Thanks for the input, would the code have to be changed? alot?
