DIY remote-controlled electronic scoreboard using LED strips

Most electronic scoreboards are expensive, and not everybody can afford them. This instructable is about a DIY scoreboard for softball that can be constructed for less than $100. The project uses LED strips to make seven segment digits, which are controlled by an Arduino Mega board through shift registers. The scoreboard displays the visitor and home team scores to 2 digits, the inning to 9 and the outs to 3. The display is controlled through an IR remote.
