I think a core part of making something "production ready" is making it as simple as possible. For example moving the esp microcontroller into one of the button boxes removes an entire box, some wires and a connector. In the same way I think that splitting the led strip into two adds a bunch of complexity for a marginal gain in versatility. Very cool idea and I enjoyed the optimisation and building process you showed.

Don't know if you've considered the following: 1- Add a button battery to the "point add" boxes and make it send an IR signal. Mount all boxes on the side of the table to get a clear and leveled view and now you don't need wiring for these. The boxes can be smaller, and the IR emitter is pretty cheap. Basically a one button remote. 2- Velcro instead of double sided tape. That way you can remove it after the game for storage and just leave a felt glued on. Also, you can have multiple felts for cheap so you can have several places "ready" to attach your boxes with just one kit. Extra felt is very cheap. 3- The main box could have the IR receiver for the new "point add" boxes. One on each side and it would still be cheap. Mount it in between the others and you should get a reliable signal. Also attached with velcro but a larger piece since it will have to hold some of the weight of the cables for the LEDs and the power. Just some ideas for you. Hope it helps.

Another great video! Fantastic with a completely new type of video - I like it! A couple of things on the 'Design for manufacture' process: *The acrylic boxes are nice (lasercutters rock!) - but a lot more people have access to a 3D printer. Also, Less parts means less manufacturing time since you don't need to clue them together. *The pressfit is really nice but you have to remember the kerf of your machine - if one were using a printed enclosure a single screw would secure everything *Having the lights as two parts is neat - but it does add more wiring (and more connectors, which is added cost). Since you have an ESP module you have the option to create a simple webpage for configuration - adjusting the width of the strip (or even adjusting the centerpoint), setting how many points you would play to (Hey, let's do a quick match to 3!) The ESP module is great but have some issues with pins being used for internal stuff (Bootmode, external memory and other things) - You found out the hard way ;) Did you consider using ESPNow? having an ESP-01 in the buttons would allow for wireless buttons (even fewer connectors!) but at the cost of batteries needed. I'm pretty sure the cost of those tine modules will match the cost of your connectors! IF you were to make a custom PCB for a project like this I'd like to add that you would want to look into mounted connectors. That way you could skip the soldering of wires part and have your electronics production handling that part as well. You would only have to screw the parts together and ship it. (Programming jig would be placed at the electronics supplier as well) Keep up the great work! I'd love to see more of this from you guys :)
@mortensentim5112 жыл бұрын
If it's supposed to be solder free for the end user, it's going to be a huge amount of assembly for you and your team or very expensive from your outsourced partner. Building your own PCB for the controller and buttons (using an ESP32-WROOM module rather than dev board) and having PCB connectors (wire-to-panel) would allow the whole thing to be just screwed into the box as one step with all the connectors lining up with holes in the enclosure and is something you can outsource production of a scale up very easily. Enclosure customisation could also be outsourced, and you already mentioned custom wiring looms being outsourced, same goes with the short length of addressable LED strip. Each kit could be as simple as 1x Controller, 2x Button + Enclosures, 2x LED Channel, 2xLED Strip with wires pre-connected, 2x Button Cables, 1x Power supply, +assorted fasteners/tape/stickers etc. Custom PCB brings other problems (compliance, testing, firmware upload) but simplifiers things in so many other ways that I can't see it working any other way. Soldering those connections inside the box seems like a bit of a nightmare, and anyone with the skills to do that can probably recreate the project themselves anyway.

It's all plug and play and all removable. This keeps you from installing anything directly to the ping pong table or ruining the table and all of it would be full removable so you'd be able to take it to a friends table or wherever.

Make the strips adjustable with a telescoping center bit, use one set of wires and plugs instead of two. Put all the smarts in one box with the P1 score button, have plugs for the P2 scoring button, LED scoring strip, and power. P2 scoring button only needs a small enclosure, long wires and one connector. Scoring strip has long wires, only one plug needed. Doing these steps would reduce parts and simplify the design. Since the Pi module has WiFi create an app for a smart phone/tablet to interface with to get a live readout of the scores as well as set scoring modes. Hell, you could even create new game variations.

Hey, you should add a function to subtract points. Sometimes people will accidentally double-click or just make a mistake. The easiest way will be by modifying the code so that esp will be counting button presses in short periods so that when someone double-taps it will subtract the point. The next thing to add is sound effects. It will make the game even more fun! You could also add a menu or an app so that users can change the required point amount to win or just to see high scores. Have a great day :)

This is about third of the retail price of a Bambu Lab Mini MMU. I'm shooting for a print-it-yourself and assemble it solution, with the idea of being for at this price the end user will have to be tolerant of more failures.

How about a wireless system with small battery powered radio, wifi or ble transmitters that you can throw in your pocket or on your belt and just click buttons to add points. Then you could have a small box that receives signal from transmitters, counts the points and either displays them on an led strip or on 2 screens so both players can see the score. Then it would be completely unintrusive and could be used on public ping pong tables or if you often visit a local sports center to play ping pong. Another great use would be other sports such as squash, racquetball or badminton where you don't want to have any objects inside the court for safety, but you could absolutely have a small box with a screen behind the glass wall and a tiny transmitter in your pocket. I've been looking for something like this for super long, but there's literally nothing. There used to be one watch that helped keep score, but it got discontinued.

Due to the minimal amount of required pins you could probably use a Arduino beetle or ESP8266 (WEMOS D1 Mini) but for the plugs what was wrong with the first design (it looked like you planned for DC plugs but canned it) thats how I wouldn't done it. If you were going to use that idea for a plug you may as well use a molex plug and just have a single wiring harness. Another type of plug you could use could be a headphone jack this way with it having 3 connections you could use it for the buttons so so you split the ground off to each button and give each button their own io input and use the pullup input type to read the button.

Where the hub/spoke style should be the better choice.

I suggest that in the next "model" you consider the fact that one may press the score button more than once. and also a design that allows for an umpire to be the one scoring

great video. Always like to see new innovative table tennis products. btw we just released our own table tennis product which also started from an arduino prototype, (the FastPong training system), have you seen it or tried it?

Very cool. Should transition well to scorekeeping for Corn-Hole (bean bag toss) among others. Thanks for sharing.

I really wish we had micro-center near here. FL has a huge lack of stores for this kinda thing.

I wonder if utilizing magnets for the mounting would help to eliminate the "semi-permanent" tape? It's been a long time since I've used a ping pong table, but don't they generally have metal frames?

Maybe use a long press to remove a point if one was added by mistake. Wouldn't have to cycle through points to get back to what the display should be.
