TeleBall is a handheld game console. You cannot buy it. You need to build itby yourself. It lets you playBreakOut in single-player mode using onedevice andTennis for Two in multi-player mode using two devicescommunicating via radio.

TeleBall is pretty retro and very minimalistic: It features an8x8 pixel LED matrix display, a paddle as game controller and one button.Therefore, the range of possible games is limited but you will be surprisedhow much fun and even zenlike meditation this kind of gameplay can bring you,particularly when you play Tennis for Two with a friend.

This repository contains everything you need to build your own TeleBalldevice:

• CAD .stl and .cmb.gz data for your 3D printer or for any online 3D printshop to 3D print the TeleBall case

• Eagle PCB layout for any online PCB manufacturer to make the TeleBall PCB

• Part lists and hints how to build the hardware

• Arduino source code to flash the firmware

TeleBall is made using theArduino Nano platform on acustom PCB.

Browse TeleBall'sproject pagefor a much better documentation, including a how-to play andhow-to build guide and a bill of materials (BOM). The project pageis also available offline usingindex.html in the root folder ofthis repository.

cad:    CAD data for 3D printing the TeleBall case        Use ".stl" to modify the design or to create a custom output file.        Most online 3D print shops can use the ".cmb.gz" for production.        Made with FreeCad: http://www.freecadweb.orgdoc:    HTML documentation; use `index.html` in root folder to browseeagle:  Electronic schematic diagram including PCB layout.        The libraries.zip files are only needed, if you want to modify        anything; otherwise you can just send the ".brd" file to any        online PCB manufacturing company to receive a TeleBall PCB.        Made with the freeware version of Eagle: http://www.cadsoftusa.comsrc:    Arduino source code aka Sketch in the subfolder "TeleBall".        Compile and upload it to your device using Arduino's IDE. You need        to install the libraries from libraries.zip first, before being        able to compile. The "archive" folder contains historic versions.        Made with Arduino: http://arduino.cc/de/Main/Software

TeleBall is brought to you by

• sy2002: idea, code and original circurit design
• doubleflash: additional circurit design and board layout
• lamags: body housing/case

TeleBall was designed, built and released as an Open Source / Open Hardwareproject during August 2014 and January 2015.

TeleBall is a project ofMEGA - Museum of Electronic Games & Art.

We are looking forward to hearing from you. Email to sy2002 at teleball.org
