What is TeleBall?
7-
-----------------
8-
9-
TeleBall is a handheld game console. You cannot buy it. You need to build it
10-
by yourself. It lets you play **BreakOut** in single-player mode using one
11-
device and **Tennis for Two** in multi-player mode using two devices
12-
communicating via radio.
13-
14-
TeleBall is pretty retro and very minimalistic: It features an
15-
8x8 pixel LED matrix display, a paddle as game controller and one button.
16-
Therefore, the range of possible games is limited but you will be surprised
17-
how much fun and even zenlike meditation this kind of gameplay can bring you,
18-
particularly when you play Tennis for Two with a friend.

About this GIT Repository
23-
-------------------------
24-
25-
This repository contains everything you need to build your own TeleBall
26-
device:
27-
28-
* CAD .stl and .cmb.gz data for your 3D printer or for any online 3D print
29-
shop to 3D print the TeleBall case
30-
31-
* Eagle PCB layout for any online PCB manufacturer to make the TeleBall PCB
32-
33-
* Part lists and hints how to build the hardware
34-
35-
* Arduino source code to flash the firmware
36-
37-
TeleBall is made using the
38-
[Arduino Nano platform](http://arduino.cc/en/Main/ArduinoBoardNano) on a
39-
custom PCB.
40-
41-
Browse TeleBall's [project page](http://sy2002.github.io/TeleBall)
42-
for a much better documentation, including a how-to play and
43-
how-to build guide and a bill of materials (BOM). The project page
44-
is also available offline using `index.html` in the root folder of
45-
this repository.

### Folder Structure
48-
49-
cad: CAD data for 3D printing the TeleBall case
50-
Use ".stl" to modify the design or to create a custom output file.
51-
Most online 3D print shops can use the ".cmb.gz" for production.
52-
Made with FreeCad: http://www.freecadweb.org
53-
54-
doc: HTML documentation; use `index.html` in root folder to browse
55-
56-
eagle: Electronic schematic diagram including PCB layout.
57-
The libraries.zip files are only needed, if you want to modify
58-
anything; otherwise you can just send the ".brd" file to any
59-
online PCB manufacturing company to receive a TeleBall PCB.
60-
Made with the freeware version of Eagle: http://www.cadsoftusa.com
61-
62-
src: Arduino source code aka Sketch in the subfolder "TeleBall".
63-
Compile and upload it to your device using Arduino's IDE. You need
64-
to install the libraries from libraries.zip first, before being
65-
able to compile. The "archive" folder contains historic versions.
66-
Made with Arduino: http://arduino.cc/de/Main/Software
