Design Problem Statement:

Time is of the essence and always lost in manual shuffling of cards during multiple hands in poker and so an automated system which provides randomly shuffled card before every hand would save the crucial play time.

​

(Jan 2018-May 2018)

Individual contribution:​

  • 3d printed the shuffler wheels in 4 sections along with Aluminum roller wheels for loading sub-system using lathe.

  • Devised the mechanism along with implementing laser cutting of acrylic to develop a fully functional unloading card collecting sub-system. 

  • Developed an innovative V shaped gusset to avoid lateral vibration and provide stability to the whole system during operation.

  • Executed Break Beam sensors to detect the successful loading of card in to the shuffler sub-system without any jamming.

Fit & Tolerance testing & Break Beam testing :

Outcomes and future work:

Cards thrown out by loading subsystem:

Sequential working of shuffling and pushing mechanism through solenoid:

•Successfully tested the shuffler for getting a randomly shuffled 20 cards in about 226 seconds.

•User tested it to first unload one card, detect empty slot by micro-controller and then load the card successfully.
