Abstract
We design and implement a gaming system called Pinball using an Arduino microcontroller and three pushbuttons to control the movement of two servo motors and six LEDs. The game is designed to grant access with a touchless key using an RFID technique before playing. Each of the player and the computer has three lives in the beginning and the LCD displays the current number of lives of the computer and the player throughout the game. After three rounds, the final result (Win, Lose, or Tie) is displayed and the system automatically exits and prompts the player to scan an RFID key to access for a new game.
