A first look will make it look like a simple ball game with an advanced state of the art motion control interface. Compatible with smart phone with double the fun and excitement of our childhood days. The working is simple -steer the ball by shaking your phone

The project in real life.

Thats how it looks on the outside, not so beautiful,right?

2. Breadboard, standard (60 pins).

A breadboard is a solder less device for temporary prototype with electronics and test circuit designs. Most electronic components in electronic circuits can be inter connectedby inserting their leads or terminals into the holes and then making connections through wires where appropriate.

3. Arduino UNO

Arduino is a open source platform that can be used to design various electronic projects. Arduino uno is hardware which is based on microcontroller ATmega 328P. It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz quartz crystal, a USB connection, a power jack, an ICSP header and a reset button.

4. HC05 Bluetooth Module(5 V 9600 Band)

The HC-05 Bluetooth module (and related modules) is a very popular module for wireless communication due to its price and capabilities.

Most HC-05 modules require a 5V operating voltage. Although most modules have on-board current limiting circuit which allows the TX/RX pins to work with 5V signal, a 5V to 3.3V circuit (a simple voltage divider) at the Arduino TX pin is recommended.

5.Voltage Dividor Circuit.

A voltage divider is a simple circuit which turns a large voltage into a smaller one. Using just two series resistors and an input voltage, we can create an output voltage that is a fraction of the input. Voltage dividers are one of the most fundamental circuits in electronics.

6. IMU Accelerator Sensor

An inertial measurement unit (IMU) is an electronic device that measures and reports a body’s specific force, angular rate, and sometimes the magnetic field surrounding the body, using a combination of accelerometers and gyroscopes, sometimes also magnetometers. IMUs are typically used to maneuver aircraft, including unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs), among many others, and spacecraft, including satellites and landers. Recent developments allow for the production of IMU-enabled GPS devices. An IMU allows a GPS receiver to work when GPS-signals are unavailable, such as in tunnels, inside buildings, or when electronic interference is present. A wireless IMU is known as a WIMU .

There were other important aspects associated with it ,for example the reference coordinate system we used.

It was a team effort , other members of my team are also doing well and we presented it at Kolkata Mini Maker Faire 2018 and were also given Maker Certificates.

The actual game implementation.
