From Strava to Motion: Creating an Arduino-Powered Arcade Game with Running Data -- Episode 607

Following on from building an air hockey table, Lorraine is recreating another classic arcade game: the Derby. Instead of horses racing along a track, it will be runners! Find out how to download your running data from strava and move a runner along a track in competition with your family and friends. This project involves a bit of everything: 3d printing, laser cutting, coding in C and using motors with the Arduino Wifi board.
