Foosball slow motion instant replay

Ever wanted to relive your best foosball shots? Now you can with this project! Featuring:

• Automatic goal detection & score-keeping
• Automatic instant replay (2x slow motion) of the last goal
• Upload replays to Youtube
• HipChat integration to send Youtube URLs and report game progress
• Integration with a league system

See a video of it in action:

To build it you'll need

• A foosball table ;)
• A TV
• A Raspberry Pi (2 or 3) to run the UI - Note - the Raspberry Pi4 is not supported
• The Raspberry Pi camera module to record video
• Some electronic components for the goal detection (and maybe an Arduino)

You can find more info on how to build its components in the doc folder

Take a closer look at the UI and the different game modes in the ui folder

Installation

To install it on a RaspberryPi please follow the installation guide

Running on a normal PC

When running in X11 it's often useful to change the window size changing the scaling factor (-s 3 runs at 1/3 of the size)

python3 foos.py -s 3

If you want to use a keyboard on the Raspberry PI you can enable the io_evdev_keyboard plugin. This will read directly from the evdev input device (make sure pi user is in the input group and has access to /dev/input/*) Remember this will only work on physical keyboards attached to the PI - not if you're pressing keys in a ssh session!

Keys in X11 and Raspberry PI:

• Increment goal counter: q, KP7, e, KP9
• Decrement goal counter: z, KP1, c, KP3
• Ok: s, KP5
• Simulate goal: a, KP4, d, KP6
• Exit: .
