Trying to hire someone to build me a mini Arduino scoreboard

xMaGuSx

Hey Guys,



so my dad and I play a lot of stick hockey on a Stiga table we have had for a while. We are finally getting around to sprucing it up with some modifications. Working on making NHL style looking nets with actual netting at the moment. But the one mod that i am not really sure how to do is make a digital scoreboard for it. Not needed but something we have always wanted for it. 



I got the idea from this person here, and they seem to use an Arduino Nano and some I2C display modules. I just have no idea where to go from there and was curious if anyone here would take on the job of making it, obviously being paid for it. Not much info in this persons blog, so it would take someone who is saavy with this type of thing.



Just need the electrical components. I can build and make the housing for everything and make it look nice.



Thanks in advance for any help in pointing me in the right direction   





Module someone built the same way

I would think you could just hook up a motion sensor in each goal and if the arduino gets a movement signal, up goes the score. Actually if you picked up a beginners kit for arduino it should have a motion sensor in it and possibly led number blocks too and they have examples in their included book how to use them.

That would be awesome. I looked into it a bit and unfortunately i think this might be a project i struggle with. Thanks for the tip.

Just as a little extra help, here is a link for a starter kit with a motion sensor and LED number displays included. You can just follow the direction on how to hook them up and use their example codes they include to make it work, you would just need to pick up a second motion sensor for the other goal which is only a few bucks.

Honestly, you might not even need something this elaborate. You should be able to build a circuit with a counter on it for fairly cheap with a sensor of some sort. I remember building a circuit in my freshman or sophomore year in Electronics that used an LED display and you could input up to 4 characters on it by clicking a button.
