OpenLaneLink - Open-source bowling scoring system using ESP32

Show HN: I replaced a $120k bowling center system with $1,600 in ESP32s

OpenLaneLink is a revolutionary open-source alternative to expensive proprietary bowling center systems. Built on affordable ESP32 microcontrollers and Raspberry Pi hardware, it replaces six-figure vendor solutions with a modular, customizable stack. The system utilizes an ESPNow mesh network with RS485 fallback for reliable real-time event streaming, feeding data into Redis for seamless React-based UI rendering. By democratizing access to open hardware and software, OpenLaneLink eliminates vendor lock-in, drastically reduces costs, and allows alley owners to fully customize their bowling experience, from animations to lighting control.
