HACKED!: Looping Louie on Steroids

In this project I will show you how I "hacked" a kids game called "Looping Louie". This way the speed of the toy airplane receives a big speed boost and makes the game more fun and difficult for adults. You can control the speed with a potentiometer from -9V up to +9V or choose one of the three random modes (easy,medium and hard) which randomly selects a speed value and direction.

The video gives you all information you need to build this on your own. But here I will also present you my parts list, schematic, pics and the arduino sketch.

Here you can find all the parts that I used in this project. Feel free to order them with the given links (affiliate links).

Here you can find the schematic that I made for the project. Feel free to build your own board design but you can also use my own design as a reference.

Here you can find the Arduino Code that I used in this project. I used an FTDI breakout to program my Atmega328P but you can also just place it inside an Arduino Uno and program it this way.

Now you can enjoy your hardcore Looping Louie game with some new awesome features!
