Project Results
Project Goals

• Flowchart four stages

• To develop a system that can better detect if a
  shot clock violation has occurred

Project Overview

• Design Overview
• Sensor
• Type capacitive touch technology
• Small and lightweight
• Analog to Digital Converter
• Takes the signal input from sensor and converts
  it to a digital signal
• Transmitter/ Receiver
• Range Minimum 72 feet
• Small and lightweight(Transmitter)
• Shot clock program counter
• Has ability to talk with receiver and
  synchronize with shot clock
• Enables the end user (referees) to distinguish if
  the shot clock has been violated

Project Conclusions/Outcomes

• The project has four stages Over the semester
  two stages were tested
• The Sensor Stage
• Constructed, tested and debugged
• Sensitivity or lack thereof was initially a
  problem
• Problem was resolved by increasing the capacitive
  coupling value
• Transmitter/Receiver Stage
• After assembly receiver was able to pick up
  distortion from the transmitter
• Problem will be resolved by sending the analog
  signal through an A/D converter
