Arduino Automatic Ball Launcher Project - 2018

For my Introduction to Mechanical Design course, the final project was to create a functioning product with Arduino microcontrollers, various sensors, and displays.


My project was an automatic dog toy which launched a small ball at a random time after the ball was placed into the box. The launching mechanism was similar to a pitching machine with two motors spinning in opposite directions. The ball was pushed into the spinning motors using a small servo motor.


The components included an Arduino Uno, LCD screen, push button, DC motors, servo motor, and ultrasonic sensor. The program was coded using Arduino software.


Below is a demo video of the prototype and a poster of the project.
