Arduino Laser Gun Using IRremote

DuinoTag

Arduino based laser tag game system.

Overview

• Requires IRremote: https://github.com/z3t0/Arduino-IRremote
• Requires NewTone: https://bitbucket.org/teckel12/arduino-new-tone/wiki/Home
• Modified from http://www.instructables.com/id/Duino-Tagger/

Schematic

IR Transmitter System

• Transistor amplifier to power up the high power IR LED

Feedback System

• Piezo Sounder to provide audio feedback and sound effects
• Vibration module to provide physical feedback

Receivers

• Standard IR receiver module and power regulation capacitor to provide signal feedback system

Material

• Arduino nano
• Light Gun
• Colored LEDs (+30mA)
• IR Sensors
• 2x IR LED's (+100mA)
• Piezo Sounder
• Power Transistor (MOSFET)
• Solder, Resistors, Capacitors, etc
• Vibration module

IRremote Installation

• Download IRremote from https://github.com/z3t0/Arduino-IRremote
• Rename "Arduino-IRremote" to "IRremote"
• Move the "IRremote" folder to Arduino_Root/libraries/
• Remove RobotIRremote from Arduino_Root/libraries/
• Send Pin for Arduino Nano is 3, 9

NewTone Installation (IRremote compatibility fix)

• Download NewTone from https://bitbucket.org/teckel12/arduino-new-tone/wiki/Home
• Follow "Importing a .zip Library" from https://www.arduino.cc/en/Guide/Libraries#toc4
• Refactor Tone to NewTone and noTone to noNewTone
