1.0       OVERVIEW

Taekwondo is recognised as one of the oldest forms of martial arts that originated in Korea. It is a very systemic martial art that involves head-height kicks, spinning, jumping, and fast kicking techniques.

The traditional method of score tracking and registering was done manually in the past, but as technology has evolved, the score tracking method became electronic based as it is a lot more efficient to fulfil the tasks.

 

This project attempts to introduce an alternative that can be used to replace and improve the current scoring system by implementing effective wireless capabilities that is also cheap and affordable. The system uses microcontrollers as tools to process and transmit data, such as Arduino Uno in the judge box where points are awarded from and transmitted, and Arduino Mega which acts as the master controller and receives the transmitted data, processes it, and sends the data to the output display. The master controller is able to receive signals from either 3 or 4 judge boxes, depending on the setting, and register scores from at least 2 of them, then transmit the score points to the GUI that displays the real time scoring on screen.

 

Figure 1 shows a three-judge configuration, where there are only three judge boxes connected, while Figure 2 shows a four-judge configuration where all four judge boxes are connected. There scores inserted by the judges are wirelessly transmitted to the master terminal, where the master controller is located. After processing, the scores are then displayed on the output display screen.
