Multi-core Exercise Game From Arduino
This is a machine with three games that not only entertains us but trains our core as well. Let's develop a good habit of exercising together!
What's the game?
Game 1: Piano Tiles (flutter kicks training your core)
Game 2: Subway Surfers (agility and jumping training your lower body)
Game 3: Rodeo Stampede: Sky Zoo Safari (superman training your back, glutes, and hamstring)
Supplies
For all 3 games-
- Arduino Leonardo/Uno
- Laptop/ computer
- Breadboard
- Wires (male-female & male-male)
- Laser-cut wood & laser cutter (optional/ use paper board instead)
- Wood glue
- 3 LED lights
- 3 pushbuttons
- Soldering tools
- Non-conductive tape
Game 1-
- Copper foil tape
- Regular tape
- Scissors
- 8 alligator clip wire
Game 2-
- 4 ultrasonic sensors
- Clay (or glue gun)
Game 3-
- 2 light sensors
Cutting the Box
Please download the model by clicking on the file below.
- If you would like to make the box out of paper or plastic board, please see the photo for the scale (add a hole on the left side for the USB cable).

Gluing the Box
- Wood glue is recommended, but a glue gun can be used as well.
- You can use paper tape to help fix it.
Making the Boards for Game 1
- On one side, stick the two boards together with regular tape as tight as possible, a big one with a small one. Only tape one side of the board because the board has to be able to be flipped up when kicked.
- With the copper foil tape, tape on the same side as the regular tape. And the different pieces of tape must be overlapped for it to conduct electricity.
- For the longer board on the top, tape the copper foil tape the same way as step 2.
- Stuck the boards in the gaps and add extra pieces of copper foil tape to the board's edges as shown in the video.
Soldering Buttons
- Heat the part you need to solder.
- Add the solder and let it melt.
- Wait for a few seconds for it to cool down.
- After it's cooled, tape the solder around with the non-conductive tape.
Circuit
Please view the pdf file for a clearer view.
- For the LED, buttons, and sensors, male-female wires are needed for extension
- The ultrasonic sensor from left to right in the picture should be placed as: left, down, up, right
- The order for the LED lights, buttons, and alligator clips are corresponding to the picture
- Buttons: 3 bigger holes on the top
- LED: 3 smaller holes in front of the buttons
- Ultrasonic sensors: holes around the sides
- Light sensors: two thinner holes on the top
- Alligator clips: clip to the board with copper foil tape

Decorations
This is an optional step. I used acrylic paint to color the outside of the box!
