Hi Zachtos – did you ever get your problem solved. I’m having the same issues with a similar setup… Thanks!

You absolutely could do that. Getting the text doc out might be tricky, but I’m sure it’s possible.

Would it be possible to add a scoring system into the code, which would be able to be transfered to the ref gun at the end of the game, and then to a laptop in a text document or something along those lines.

HI, i got the code to work, it requires two micros, since it can not rcv/send at the EXACT same moment. I am stuck again as to why you step the data backwards when transmitting???

Hi, I am making a team fortress laser tag game, enough for 10 players. The guns will have seperate head sensors, waveshield sounds, lights, vibration, and LCDs. There will be 5 classes (scout, soldier, medic, HWguy, sniper) and 4 flags that you spawn at, capture and do research for upgrades. It’s quite exciting. I’m currently stuck on the prototype because the emitter using the tutorial you posted is not working. I can get my sony remote to report bad bits, so that tells me the rcvr and hardware/software are working and it must be the emitter fire software or hardware. I can see the emitters light up w/ my digi cam, but not working. I’m using VISHAY parts, TSOP4138 rcvr and TSOP6100 sender IR LED. Any ideas??? I know the IR LED probably needs more current then the micro can provide so I probably need to use mosfets or something to boost it over 40mA.

Help make my dream a reality?

That’s fantastic! Keep me posted on how that turns out.

Thanks Duane, this is way too exciting. Some friends and I are starting a street unrest theatre laser tag group, stage relevant quiet revolutions.

I don’t actually. I really need to do a circuit diagram for this, and take some better pictures.

I’ll try to get some better snaps up by the weekend.

Duane,
Quick question. By any chance do you have any pictures of you finished board (what it looks like all soldered up). I went through the tutorial (just reading it this time through) and I understand, or least think I understand, the connections to the breadboard. I don’t quite get how you would attach everything more permanently.

Thanks.

Thanks for the reply. My Arduino board is on the way. I am going to see if I can’t track down the other parts but if not I’ll be contacting you again. Thanks!
