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

Following on from building an air hockey table, Lorraine is recreating another classic arcade game: the derby! However, instead of horses racing along a track, it’ll be human runners. She’ll create a project that pulls running data from Strava and moves a character along a track according to how far the human runner has gone, to create a competition with her family and friends. This build involves a little bit of everything: 3D printing, laser cutting, coding in C, and controlling motors with the Arduino Wi-Fi board.
