There is 6 inches of extra table on each side of the Lexan sheet which is only used for spectators and their drinks, giving the table a total size of 3'x8'. Now before we start building this project we should get a little bit of theory under our belts! The playing surface on this beer pong table is a 2'x8' Lexan sheet which is considered regulation size. Thank you to everyone who has been patient with me! There was a lot of time needed to completely re-design the electronics and go through a few revisions before I had a solid product. In otherwords, customize your table however you like, whether you build off of this tables layout, the new tables layout or you completely design your own table layout. Although I modified the size of the table in the new Instructable, the X5 kit can handle everything that this version can do as well as more.
SPACE AGE BEER PONG TABLE UPDATE
Now come and take a tour with me through this Instructable and let us find out if you are up for the challenge!įinal Update I have published a new Instructable that details the operation of the X5 kit and its capabilities.
SPACE AGE BEER PONG TABLE SOFTWARE
The majority of the time that I spent on this project went into prototyping, development and writing the software rather than actually assembling the project. If I were to build another one and had a set schedule of 8-hours per day to work on it, I could easily finish it within one week. I worked on this table on and off over the course of one year. Once you get up to that point, you can really start to see the potential for the table and it makes working on it a lot more enjoyable. However, if you can stick it out until you get the 32x12 LED grid in place, you will do just fine. There is a lot of prepping and labour to do before you can get anything real exciting working. The toughest part about this project is just getting it started. First, I will take you through the modification and wiring of the table before we dive into the software side of things.
