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.
