Step by step
Connections:
-
Connect all controllers to the box
Once the application is started, you can't connect new controllers.
-
Connect you computer with your beamer/plasma TV over a HDMI cable.
-
Connect the box with the USB-cable.
The box is powered with the USB, you don't need a power supply.

-
Press "Open Game Window". This will open the main window on the second screen (beamer/plasma tv).
Be sure, the second screen is a full HD monitor (1920x1080).
-
Select the right port, the one with an Arduino Mega. If you can't find any port, you need to install the Arduino drivers and connect the box:
Drivers download page.
-
If the window on the beamer is not centered or you can't hear any sound, you can correct it under Options.
-
Once, everything is ok, you can press "Connect ADO BOX" to start the game.
Before playing:
-
Choose your game type (country game, french gender game or german gender game).
-
Choose how much questions you want (5, 10 or 15).
-
Insert the name of each player:
- Only players with a name will be able to play! So set a name for every player!
- If you want remove a player, clear the textbox.
- If you want remove all names, press the DEL-button.
- Ask someone to press a button, the textbox field will color up and you know where to place her/his name.
-
The quantity of textboxes is equal to the quantity of controllers connected. If you want connect more controllers, you need to restart the application.
-
If everyone is ready, press PLAY!
Game rounds:
-
The round is over, if everyone has given the answer.
-
The next round will be started automatically.
-
You can see if someone didn't answered on the main window. The answer is only visible, if everyone answered.
-
The coins shows how many correct answers a player has given.
-
If, after all rounds, 2 or more players have the same quantity of coins there will be a special round:
- Players who already lost, can't give the answer.
- The first player who give the right answer will win.
- If a player give the answer, before the question was show, he/she will loose.
- Nobody see who already gave the answer, so the round is over after every playing player pressed a button.
