Introduction: Math Master - De Tafelkampioen - Howest MCT

Math Master

Dutch: De Tafelkampioen

Personally, I am very mathematically inclined and enjoy playing board games. 

I made a game to practice multiplication tables for 2nd grade children. This way, they can learn them in a fun and relaxing way.

Supplies

Components:

  • Raspberry Pi 4B
  • SD-card 16GB


  • Button (2x)
  • HC-SR04 Ultrasone distance sensor
  • RFID RC522
  • RFID badge
  • Rotary Encoder
  • DS18B20 temperature sensor
  • Potentiometer



  • Resistors
  • Jumper wires (a lot)
  • Breadboard


Game enclosure

software

Step 1: Electronic Circuit Diagram

Making the circuit.

See attachments for a clear image.


First make the circuit and check if the code (see github) works. Then divide the circuits over several breadboards. (This makes it easier to insert into the housing later).

Step 2: Casing

Laser cutting and assembling.

Goes better with the help of a hammer


 This website was used for this purpose. It also includes instructions on how to put it together.

(You can adjust this to your liking)

Holes were added with Adoble illustrator.

Step 3: Database

See github for an export of the database.

Mysql workbench was used.


Database name, username and password must be entered the in config.py file in github.

Make sure this config.py file is added in gitignore.

Step 4: Raspberry Pi Code

Protocols used:

  • SSH
  • OneWire
  • SPI


If necessary, adjust the pin numbering of the components in the code.

Step 5: Website

Tip:

Figma is a great tool for easily developing a design visually.

Step 6: Design Display

This helps to get an idea of ​​what the result will look like before it is converted into bits and bytes.

Step 7: You Did It!
