Abstract

The purpose of this project is to implement a mass detection module which is a detection sensor module underneath a sports court floor. The existing sports electronic officiating system (or line-calling technology) have flaws which required human supervision and are not fully accurate due to certain influencing factors. Therefore, the concept of a sports officiating system is applied into the sensor module which aimed to detect the impact of a ball on the boundary line of a sports court floor. The sensor module is based on the conductive silicone rubber keypad, where it serves to determine whether the detected impact lands inside or outside of a boundary line. In addition, a printed circuit board (PCB) containing the design of keypad switches is made to allow the keypad to rest on top of it. A software algorithm is created, as to be integrated with the hardware, where microcontroller such as Arduino Mega 2560 is used. Once there is a presence of detection due to impact on the boundary line of the sport court, the result is shown by the system as ‘1’ (one), whereas ‘0’ (zero) if no impact is detected. Next, a liquid crystal display (LCD) is used to display the output position of the detected impact, as ‘IN!’ or ‘OUT!’.
