If you know me, you know besides corgis I have another passion and that’s for foosball. I might not be tournament level good, but I can keep up with my friends and in the bar scene. I had an old sporting goods store level table when I was in high school and got rid of it when I moved out of my folk’s house. I swore I’d never buy another one because no one would ever come over and play and every once in a while, during my adult life, I’d see a nice one pop up on Craigslist for a good price. I always passed up the chance of getting a new one. Until one day when I saw a Tornado going for around 400 bucks. I couldn’t pass up the deal. A few weeks after getting it setup in our sunroom, I was going through some boxes and found an old Raspberry Pi that I used to use for playing emulated games on. I thought to myself “what would be a good project to use this on?” and then it dawned on me. I should automate a scoreboard for the foosball table.
