I have always loved playing mini hoop with my brother and it brings back a lot of childhood memories. I wanted to think of a way to innovate it without taking away from its simplicity. As I get older I don't play with it the same way I used to, I usually just shoot a few shots every once in a while and then leave it at that. Because of this, I thought it would be a cool idea to add a scoreboard that doesn't reset (unless the photon is reset, in which case you can set score back to old score on the terminal) or isn't linked to a timer in order to just see how many baskets are made on it over time. This is just a fun way to track how many baskets have been made on your hoop. You can also use a phone timer or make a point system to make this into a fun game to play against your high score or friends.
Mini hoop score keeper
This will use a 4 digit digital display to show when a basket is made on a mini basketball hoop by making the score go up using photon 2.
Taped to the wall on right is the Photon, the cardboard base is glued under rim where Flex Sensor is placed on top of, held in place by another piece of cardboard hot glued down. The portable battery pack is taped below Photon for power supply.
