Video: AMOS-controlled Quiz Buzzer System
In his latest video series, Robert Smith shows how to build an AMOS-controlled quiz buzzer system based on an Arduino board:
- Part 1 shows how to build a cable version of the simple quiz buzzer system that includes different sound effects for each key pressed.
- Part 2 shows how to build a wireless variant using nRF24L01 modules and Arduinos.
- Part 3 updates the wireless variant so that the controller can be connected to an Amiga and a simple quiz system can be run with AMOS. The AMOS quiz system communicates with the controller via the serial port and uses some form of interrupts ("every") to maintain communication.
