“We have designed an inexpensive solution that provides reliable speed and spin rate of cricket ball without any special expertise and man power to operate the system” the group said.

Students said that smart Cricket ball embedded with specialized microcontrollers that transmitted the data through Bluetooth to a mobile device which would help to improve analysis and bowling skills as well.

This  smart ball had a power button, 3 axis- accelerometer that had ability to endure high level of stress 10000g and used I2C interface to communicate data, microcontroller (arduino Beetle BLE), a Bluetooth module that transmit data to mobile device, 32 kb flash memory card and 3-axis- Gyroscope for spin rate measurement. 

As per students, this  wooden made smart Cricket ball has 74mm diameter, 161 grams weight that takes 7 voltages for charging with capacity of 550 mah battery. These students are also planning to advance ball that could detect snick detection, leg before detection and trajectory estimation
