Hardware

Using Arduinos and 2.4 GHz antennas we setup wireless network communication for an interactive board with tactile buttons.

The buttons communicate to a microcontroller and the information received is sent wirelessly to another microcontroller connected to a computer for serial communication.

Software

Used C for controlling microcontrollers. Serial data is gathered using Python which is also used to send and receive SMS using twillio. The score, name, and phone number is stored with mongoDB for the user to keep track of total points and current ranking among other users.
