Welcome to the DT Balanka repository, a proof of concept project developed by Team Luminux during the Dynatrace Innovation Day in January 2024 in order to take the spirit of playing table soccer at Dynatrace to a new level. Our project combines hardware and software elements to track and display game scores and player statistics for Balanka (table soccer).
- ESP32 Device: A compact, USB-powered, and WiFi-enabled microcontroller that forms the core of our hardware setup.
- RFID Sensors: Two sensors connected to the ESP32, allowing players to identify themselves using employee tags or custom RFID tags.
- OLED Display: 128x32px mini OLED display.
- Connectivity: The ESP32's WiFi capabilities are utilized to connect the hardware with our web application.
- Buttons: Four simple buttons for user input.
- ESP32 Arduino App: Arduino C++ application for the ESP32 and the sensors using the VSCode PlatformIO plugin.
- Supabase Backend: Our backend infrastructure is built on Supabase, ensuring robust data management and seamless integration with our frontend.
- React Frontend: A user-friendly web application developed using React, showcasing game results and detailed player statistics.
- PHP Supabase Proxy: As we did not know if the used HTTP library on the ESP32 will support HTTPS, we build a simple PHP API proxy (which wouldn't have been needed).
- Player Identification: Utilizes RFID technology for player authentication and identification.
- Score Tracking: Players can input scores directly through the hardware interface, which are then reflected on the web application.
- Game Management: The display and buttons on the device enable players to start games, enter scores, and submit them to the backend.
- Statistical Insights: The web application provides statistics and insights about game performances, scores, and player rankings.
- Mini display with 4 Buttons
- 5 Screens
- Welcome (fetching player list over REST call)
- Register Players (switch between players 1-4, hold tag near RFID scanner to identify, proceed to team overview when ready)
- Team Overview (confirm team configuration or go back)
- Scores (show and set team scores)
- Submit Scores? (confirm or go back)
- Submission result (success or error screen, any key goes back to welcome)
