Wireless quiz controller

This project consist of a wireless quiz controller housed in a laser cut acrylics casing. It is made during a project in 'Design of mechatronics' on the Technical University of Denmark and is designed to quiz with a game server along with several other students.

One of the two boxes is intended to try out the program with a Arduino Pro Micro. We did not make it work with the same libraries as for the Uno. If you find a suitable library please let us know. :-)

We have also uploaded a simple version of the 'quiz server' that through the push of a button sends a struct of question options. This is to be uploaded on a similar device as the controller setup.

You can read a lot more about the details of this project on our blog:

This you will need to rebuild the game controller:

  • An arduino uno (two if you want to quiz)
  • Joysticks with built-in button (same as on a playstation controller)
  • Wireless communication unit: NRF2401L+
  • 9V Battery connector
  • Jumper cables
  • And the following libraries:
  • OLED screen

For the casing and tightening of components:

  • An sheet of acrylic (5mm thickness) 2 x (50 cm x 20 cm) = 1000 square centrimetres
  • 8 x M2.5 bolts + 8 x M2.5 nots
  • 4 x M3 bolts + 4 x M3 nots
  • Acetone to glue the box part together

You should also add the following libraries to your Arduino libraries folder. A thanks and a shout out to those who made these available to us:
