# BUZZ1000

**Arduino Controlled Buzzer System For Events**

![BUZZ1000 in action](.github/buzz1000.jpg)

The Buzz1000 is an Arduino-controlled buzzer system for events, e.g. Quizzes or other games in which it is necessary to determine which person pressed the button first. After a buzzer has been pressed, the other buzzers are blocked for 3 seconds - so the winner can be clearly determined.

When you press a buzzer, the controller sends a keystroke (digits 1 to 6) to the connected computer. This allows the computer to contribute to game atmosphere, e.g. by playing sound effects.

**[Launch the Buzzer Webapps](https://schorschii.github.io/BUZZ1000)**  

You can test the webapps by pressing the keys 1-6 on your keyboard. You can also play offline (please read the instructions on the start page).

- [Simple Buzzer Webapp](https://schorschii.github.io/BUZZ1000/webapp/buzzer-simple.html)  

  Shows player name and plays sound when key 1..6 is pressed.

- [Buzzer Webapp With Bars](https://schorschii.github.io/BUZZ1000/webapp/buzzer-bars.html)  

  Plays sound when key 1..6 is pressed and displays the score of each player graphical with a vertical bar for comparison.

- [Buzzer Webapp With Timer](https://schorschii.github.io/BUZZ1000/webapp/buzzer-timer.html)  

  Starts a timer when any key is pressed, stops it and plays a sound when key 1..6 is pressed and displays the last stopwatch time.

- [Buzzer Webapp With Separate Timers](https://schorschii.github.io/BUZZ1000/webapp/buzzer-separate-timers.html)  

  Starts a timer for each player when any key is pressed, stops the individual timer and plays a sound when key 1..6 is pressed.  

  *Hint: buzzer lock timeout (constant `BUZZER_LOCK_TIMEOUT` in Arduino `buzzer.ino` file) should be set to `0` for this webapp.*

Each buzzer is equipped with 14 LEDs, which start to play different light effects when pressed. This makes it clear which player pressed his buzzer first.

## Hardware Documentation

The system's main components are:

- 1x Arduino MKR WiFi 1010

- 6x Giovenzana PG1M9W01 (Inexpensive Mushroom Head Push Buttom)

- WS2812B RGB LED Stripe (50 SMD LEDs per meter -> 14 LEDs inside each Buzzer Head)

- 3,5mm **4pin** Jack Connector/Cable between Arduino and Buzzer

## Arduino Software Update Instructions

This is how you can update your buzzer controller.

0. Install the [Arduino IDE](https://www.arduino.cc/en/software) and connect your Arduino.

   - Menu: Tools -> Board -> Arduino MK WiFi 1010

   - Menu: Tools -> Port -> Select your connected Buzzer Arduino

1. Install the FastLED library.

   - Menu: Sketch -> Include Library -> Manage Libraries ... -> Search "FastLED" -> Click "Install" -> Close

2. Download this BUZZ1000 repo and open the file `arduino/buzzer/buzzer.ino` in the IDE.

3. Upload the software to the Arduino (Menu: Sketch -> Upload).
