Hi,
I'm pretty new to this, but in our hockey league, we are looking for a ultra cheap scoreboard for indoor hockey...
I've been looking around the net, and found a good-size single-digit display (7" - https://www.a1parts.com/digitdisplay/index.htm) to use
Minimum req' would be something like
The counter would need to be able to go down from either 20 or 10 minutes (no need for custom time) and reset. It would but installed on a wall, and would need an external control (lower on the wall)
If possible
Control box could be like
I tough of purchasing a pre-built one, but those cost a lot and too much features for what we need.
I'm pretty good on working with my own hands, but wondering how this could be done (electronic-side)?
I'm open for suggestions, if there are better way or parts to do this.
Thanks!
Olivier

Minimum req' would be something like
Code:
------------------------
- Home Time Away -
- 00 00:00 00 -
------------------------
The counter would need to be able to go down from either 20 or 10 minutes (no need for custom time) and reset. It would but installed on a wall, and would need an external control (lower on the wall)
If possible
- Short buzz when at '00:00'.
- 3 lights for periods if possible
- Custom time reset if possible to implement, but this would be because we are playing indoor hockey in a small shool gymnasium, and we would give the board to them... So a custom time reset could be usefull for them.
Control box could be like
- Time reset (press one 10:00, press again for 20:00)
- Score reset
- Start time
- Team 1 - Add a goal
- Team 2 - Add a goal
- Period 3-way switch
- Power on/off
