A device that throws the ball to dogs
If you have a dog and want to keep it entertained even when you are out of the house, you could do a similar project. It is a device that throws the ball after inserting it into the upper cavity, so your dog can play in total autonomy.
The project is based on a Teensy microcontroller, but any Arduino such as Arduino Nano can be used for this application. The microcontroller will rotate two motors, which allow you to launch the ball, after detecting the presence of the same through a LED and a photoresistor. There is a servo motor that serves to release the ball after the motors start spinning. Finally we find an OLED display and an RGB ring.
