There is nothing better than the FIFA World Cup to get you into a sporty mood. But what if you’re not quite prepared for the football festival? Need a score counter or perhaps an automated drink maker?
The answer is simple: do it yourself!
What better way to get into the spirit of football than by creating your own football tech projects that are not only fun but also practical? These projects show how it’s done.
1. Arduino Bluetooth Scoreboard

This giant scoreboard was built on the YouTube channel I Like To Make Stuff. Using a wooden frame, some LEDs, 3D printed diffusion and an Arduino, this project can be completed in a weekend.
If you don’t have room for such a large scoreboard, simply reduce the size. Clear instructions and high quality videos will show you how to make your own. You don’t even have to use Bluetooth if you don’t want to.
If you are overwhelmed even after watching the video several times, then perhaps some of our guides will help you. Guide for — a good place to start, as is our beginner’s guide to 3D printing
2.Arduino Goal Counter

This Ondrej Krama project is a great way to keep track of results. A little simpler than the previous project, this one uses a remote central locking device from the car.
This project also uses an Arduino, along with a giant seven-segment display, but don’t worry if you don’t have one, this project can be easily reproduced on various kinds of Arduino displays.
3. Arduino Table Football Goal Counter

This cool project from YouTube creators OSZ Täuffelen is a great way to digitize your table football game. Built once again using an Arduino, this project uses LED sensors to detect when a team has scored a goal.
In addition to the sensors, this project even uses a USB power supply to power the system for over 30 hours. The code is provided in German, but the basic concepts and ideas behind programming languages don’t really change between human languages. If you are new to Arduino programming then these clean coding tips It can be useful.
4 Raspberry Pi Ball Tracking Robot

Built by YouTube channel Circuit Digest, this neat little robot uses a Raspberry Pi at its core. Built with multiple motors, a Raspberry Pi camera, and some code written in Python, this machine could be the start of your robot football squad!
A video tutorial is not provided, but a complete written tutorial with code is provided.
If you are not sure about the differences between Raspberry Pi and Arduino then why not take a look at our comparison. ?
