Interactive Gaming Platform Design & Prototype
Budget: $250 – $750 USD
1. Project Overview
The purpose of this project is to design and prototype an interactive gaming platform that integrates a Touch screen monitor, audio Amplifier, sensors, motor, credit card payment processing, and cloud-based communication for data and control. The system will utilize a custom multi-layer PCB, a Raspberry Pi configured for game emulation, all integrated to provide a seamless interactive experience.

2. Scope of Work
1. Multi-Layer PCB Design - Design a custom multi-layer PCB to support arcade game controls and sensor integration. - Include interface circuits for a 14-hole sensor table. - Design an additional sensor card to detect player change , design an audio amplifier - Ensure PCB layout follows best practices for signal integrity and EMI reduction. - Deliver full schematic, layout files, and BOM compatible with industry-standard PCB design software.
2. Raspberry Pi Selection and Setup - Recommend optimal Raspberry Pi model (likely Raspberry Pi 4 or 5) based on performance requirements. - Install and configure Raspberry Pi OS with RetroPie or Recalbox for game emulation. - Integrate game controllers, touch screen monitor, motor to control balls access and custom input sensors. - Develop software layers to capture sensor input and trigger game events.
3. Sensor Table Design and Integration - Design and develop a 14-hole sensor table hardware platform. - Connect sensors to Raspberry Pi via PCB interface card using GPIO or I2C/SPI protocols. - Implement additional sensor card logic for “miss detection.” - Ensure hardware and firmware can adapt dynamically to layout or software changes.
4. Audio amplifier – Design an audio Amplifier for arcade game
5. Servo motor integration – Integrate a servo motor to control / admin balls to players according to their turn …balls will be free after all balls have been played
6. Card payment integration – Integrate a card reader for card payment
7. Cloud Communication and Remote Control - Enable network communication on Raspberry Pi for remote access and control. - Implement OTA (Over-the-Air) software upgrades and remote monitoring. - Secure cloud connectivity using MQTT and HTTPS protocols. - Provide software architecture documentation for secure cloud integration.
