**Update (April 11, 2023): We won first place at the [Northeastern ECE Capstone Expo](https://coe.northeastern.edu/news/teams-share-top-honors-in-electrical-and-computer-engineering-capstone-presentations/)!**
## Project Abstract
The BIKE team has designed and built a system that creates a seamless poker home-game expe-
rience by automating the tedious and repetitive tasks that occur during a game while lowering
the barrier of entry of knowledge for a complex game. The system is complete with an automatic
shuffler, automatic dealer, input button panels, and an accompanying computer application and
screen. Poker is a common form of social entertainment both in the home and in dedicated
gaming establishments that the BIKE system improves for all levels of players. The automated
shuffler and dealer reduce responsibilities of the more knowledgeable players who are often
burdened by handling the cards during home-games while the button panels and application
provide a more seamless, easy-to-follow game for newer players that are often overwhelmed by
the intricacies of the game.
## System Overview
The main compute for the B-I-K-E Poker Table is a Rasperry Pi 4B. The Pi is operating on native Ubuntu and will run our main program written in Python (3.10.6). The main program will facilitate the Poker logic and delegate low-level control to Arduino Unos and an Arduino Nano via serial connection.

The card dealer is equipped with a 2-stage indexer and flywheel system to accurately control card dispensing. The entire system is mounted on a stepper-motor driven turret for dealing cards to anywhere on the table.
