The Origin of this Project lies back in May 2021. I wanted to design a dynamite clock to entry the competition of Timekeepers but Pieter was faster. Then I started to design a grenade with a random countdown. I just didn't want to make a normal clock but a game instead. Unfortunately, I ran out of time and I couldn't finish it. Finally, the Tabletop Games and Puzzles contest launched and I become excited again. I finished the grenade and thought about other elements of a board game. In the end, the Idea of "table war" was born. That's why I love to taking part in a designing competition! It push my creativity, gives my motivation to finish a project…and makes me crazy, because time is always short!

 

In the designing process, I wanted to focus on following things:

- no soldering (grove connections; self-made battery case)
- no screws (printed clips and threads only)
- just plug and play (as less glue and support as possible)

 

I also wanted to use an Arduino and some components. It's my first Arduino project. I had no programming skills at all. Be aware: If you start using this stuff you'll get addicted for sure:-)

 

You need some electric parts:

- Arduino Nano Board (A000005)
- Grove Shield für Arduino Nano, Seeed Studio (103100124)
- Grove Button (P), Seeed Studio (111020000)
- Grove Buzzer, Seeed Studio (107020000)
- Grove Vibration Motor, Seeed Studio (105020003)
- Grove 4-Digit Display, Seeed Studio (104030003)
- Grove 4-Pin Cable 20cm Set (110990027)
- Grove 4-Pin Cable 5cm Set (110990036)

 

You need also some other parts:

- three AA-Batteries (Mignon)
- a rubber band (you can also print one in soft TPU)
- a side cutter 
- two dice
- USB cable

 

You need to download Arduino IDE and TM1637 Library:

- Arduino IDE (Version 1.8.15)
- TM1637 Library

 

Special thanks goes to djwhouse from Grayslake, United States! He has adjusted the errors and gaps in the code. In addition, he has also put a very good new idea into the code.

 

Upgrade:

- new battery cover (2x AA-Battery)
- small board (for Prusa Mini)

 

If you like my work and want to support me, I am happy about any donation :-)
