Smart Cornhole Boards React with Lights and Sounds

Video Description

Cornhole is a crowd favorite. You know what's better? Smart cornhole. Follow along as I attempt my biggest project yet! Cornhole is far too limited by the lack of dinging bells and blaring horns present on its arcade brethren, skeeball. Time to fix that and elevate cornhole to its proper place on the backyard game winner's podium by adding lights and sound. An Arduino Nano and a few sensors should do the trick! A massive amount of effort went into learning how to customize these cornhole boards, and they gave me a real boost in confidence for future projects. I've never worked with capacitors, diodes, voltage regulators, or RF modules before this; all crucial for me to become familiar with for later builds. Thank you so much for your patience as I made this video. I severely underestimated the amount of time I would need to finish it, however I couldn't be happier with the results. I hope you enjoy them as much as I do. Join me. --- Parts I used --- As an Amazon Associate I earn from qualifying purchases through links in my descriptions and comments.
