How does your gun compare to the ones you can buy for 2 for $60? Why did you make one?
It was designed to be compatible with them, but primarily to serve as a game hosting station. Those guns support a number of game types that you can only use if you use a Laser Tag Team Ops gun to host, as it has an LCD and a menu. Not only are those guns hard to find, as they stopped making them, hosting is pretty unreliable as any gun that gets turned off or times out prevents everyone from seeing their scores. Hosting a game from a laptop would have neither problem.
Hi there!
I was thinking about using an Arduino to pick up the IR signal from these guns and make a functional shield out of a toy lightsaber- with the ignition button acting as the shield activation and with similar mechanics to the guns shield.
Think this mod is possible using your library? Furthermore, do you have any tips on where to start? My programing skills are rudimentary at best...
Thanks! :)
Derek,
The shield button on the gun interacts with the software on the gun itself. There is no way to interface an external component and have it behave like the gun's own shield unless you pull your gun apart and rewire the shield button.
You would effectively just be moving the shield button into the grip of the physical shield. They would need to be connected by a wire.
Trying to put this together and having some trouble creating trigger actions. I am working on the hosting station and a couple of grenades. I need help with the triggering and am very new to arduino. Can you give a little assistance?
John,
Do you have your code somewhere I could take a look? I haven't worked on this in a while but I am happy to look.
