STMicroelectronics — IoT Contest

Contest rule: develop the most innovative and fun "green electronics" project.

Controller: ST's NUCLEO-L152RE

Bluetooth Low Energy Module: X-NUCLEO-IDB04A1

A wireless Pong game where each player controls their own paddle without a gamepad.

Range sensors let each player control the game wirelessly — with a hand or a makeshift "fakepad." Distances are transmitted to the controller and displayed over a serial connection. Scores and elapsed time are sent to a phone over BLE, keeping the player aware of the game state.
