Hi!
I am working on a basketball hoop that can keep track of the number of shots made. I have made my first iteration and it works well enough. I basically have a long limit switch sticking into the hoop that is attached to an Electric Imp. While this works, the spring has started bending from being hit by a ball repeatedly. I've tried to use a Sharp IR Distance Sensor but it doesn't detect the basketball (I've tried 3 different kinds).
Could potentially use an ultrasonic sensor but it would have to be placed inside of the net because the net would get in the way....right? Any ideas are welcome, I have kind of hit a wall on this!
Thanks!
