3.Invention

Pinball Pointer is the name of my project. When the piezoelectric sensor attached to the Sender, which acts as a sensor, reads a certain value, it is wirelessly communicated to the Receiver via ESP NOW, and an audible Hit! is emitted. This was originally conceived by a ping-pong teacher who thought it would be nice to have something like this. This device is used to improve your table tennis skills. You can practice as if it were a game, so you can enjoy it while you get better.

5.Develop a plan for dissemination of your final project

I would like to spread the word and monetize this project. I have no experience in making money from something I created. I hope that the users will be satisfied, but at the same time, I would like to experience “earning” money. The headquarters of VICTAS is located near where I live, so I would like to go there and sell the product to them so that they can commercialize it.
