Tier- Fair Games
Client:
Toyota
Project Type: Hardware
I was task with designing a new more interesting and exciting game for Tier’ student fair, a major struggle of the development was a very limited budget and time frame. After talking to the client and creative teams, they wanted to level up a simple “spin the wheel” game, to act as an opportunity for a giveaway for their Tier helmets. I therefore pitched in a LED reaction game, where the moving light would need to be stopped in a single place.
The entire project was developed in only 8 days, and was built around 8 custom made LED stubs that where plugged into a bespoke control box, that used RJ45 jacks to make the set up a simple plug and plug solution. This was done as the entire installation would need to move week to week as it travelled around universities, and would be set up with the Brand ambassadors there.
The Build
The project its self is super simple and uses and Arduino nano connected up to a 12v 8 channel relay switches, where there the 24 LED stripped are housed in some diffusion panel. I originally looked into a range of solutions, but due to the budget and time frame I decided to custom make a script and quick connect box rather than the DMX root. Inherently the originally code came from a Knight rider LEDs controller script, which I modify then to add a speed controls viva two buttons on the quick connect box, and stop feature that will hold the light in place for 10seconds .
How to play
The Brand ambassador would use the speed to control to adjust the light speed then the player used a big red player button , that would stop the light in place for 10 seconds, and if the light happened to line up with the physical win area, they would win.
