Building a cornhole score board

I have been toying around with making a simple digital score board for cornhole scoring.

Idea: build a box and cut LED strip and arrange it into digits like 88 : 88 and have it wired to a mini esp32 with 3 push buttons. Team one score increase, Team 2 score increase, and reset to zero.

I am thinking to do so I would need to create 43 presets (21 for each team + the Zeroed value for scores 0-21).

If I were to press Team 1’s button to go from preset say, 1 to 2 (preset 1 to 2) making the display switch from:
01 : 01 to 02 : 01

Next if I were to press team 2’s button to go from 1 to 2 (preset 22 to 23) making the display now show:
02 : 02

If I were to press Team 1’s button next, would the system know that the last number for that button was preset 2, in turn changing to preset 3 or would It get messed up seeing the last called preset was Team 2’s 23?


Unless someone has a better idea how to go about this score board idea?

-Thanks

Hi Jinx,

Currently we are working on a similar setup. We would be interested on best approach for this as well.
Our setup is slightly different, we are using ready maid Alphanumeric Panels and writing own code. Yes we want to control via Bluetooth.

Hope to have first prototype in next days.
