Having read through the Westbury on Severn site and seen their work. This looked like a project I could take on. I needed to learn some front end development skills for work, so the opportunity to build a site to control the scoreboard appealed. I had already messed around with a Raspberry Pi and this project also gave me the opportunity to learn how to use the Arduino, along with a chance to build the electronics and gain some new skills in woodwork.
The way I see it I can break this project down into 4 parts (assuming you want to make work for yourself like me and don’t reuse the Arduino code and web site code).
- Arduino controller code
- Scoreboard controlling website
- Building the electronic circuits
- Building the scoreboard
I’ll link the sections to the above list as I write the posts and get to each job.
