The JARS Weizhi Shaun Chua, Jake Maeder, Ryan Sharp, Aaron Chavers E-BAGS (Electronic Cornhole)
The Game Involves Bean Bags 48”x24” board
Background - EAS (Electronic Article Surveillance) - Transmit Antenna - LC tags - Resonant freqeuncy excitation - Mutual coupling - Reader antenna for detection
Our Design - Modify EAS implementation - One antenna for transmit and detection purposes. - LC tags with 8 unique resonant frequencies placed into the bean bags. - Sense voltage change on the antenna.
Implementation - Excitation and detection implemented after end of each round. - Antenna used to excite EM waves at 8 discrete freqeuncies (corresponding to the LC tag’s resonant frequency) - Display scores on LCD
Antenna - Simple RLC circuit - L, the inductor coil is the “antenna” - Variable C to tune the resonant frequency,Wo of the circuit - Minimum impedance during Wo, current high, EM field stronger.
Antenna 2 - handwound with wires - PCB trace
Antenna 3 - Operation frequency range: ( MHz range) - Below C are nominal values of C.
Antenna 4 - Implementation of variable capacitor
Antenna 5 -Implementation of variable capacitor 2: If number of free pins are scarce.
Antenna 6 - Detection implementation
Detection Processing - AC to DC converter.
Detection Processing 2 - DC signal captured fed into analog pin of uC. - Use software to do comparison to determine if bag was there or not. - Excitation and detection occurs at the end of each round.
Signal generation - AD 9850 DDS - Possible amplification needed, LM7171
LC Tag - PCB trace L - C soldered onto the pads
Risk Mitigation - If one loop antenna is not efficient enough, then we will use multiple loop antennas to cover the entire area of the board. - Mux/ demux : TS3A5017 4-1 mux
Milestones - LC antenna and LC tag build. - Signal generation. - AC to DC converter. - Software.
