Cornhole Game with Lights

Submitted by Christine Liu on

This cornhole board has lights that normally flash white.  When a beanbag goes through the hole, the lights flash red.  I used an infrared transmitter/receiver pair, a strand of NeoPixels, and an Arduino.  Anyone up for a game?

 
Cutting openings on the Shapeoko.

 
Finished board with wooden legs and clear acrylic inlay (cut on the laser cutter).  Neopixel strand is held in place with wire and masking tape.

 
 
A peek at the messy innards.  The IR sensor is mounted on the small posts next to the hole.

Its a bowl!...sort of.

Submitted by Robert Narracci on

So I finished my first bowl. In truth the past few months have been mostly waiting for the wood to dry and stabilize. One has to do that by slowly opening a bigger and bigger aperture in the plastic bag the bowl is stored in. At first it literally sweats and then slows down over time. Near the end of drying I had to mitigate some splitting with butterfly keys (a.k.a. bow ties or dutchmen) and then do some filling with cyanoacrylate glue (crazy glue or zap-a-gap) mixed with sawdust. I've read that there's a good 25% chance that a bowl will split because wood is unpredictable and $#!+ happens
