Arduino lasertag shield

[Charles Yarnold]

Hello all,

Been making some tweaks to my arduino lasertag shield to make it ready as a dev tool for the project.

Known issues:

adding in second set of pins for tom's ir recivers

Give it a once over if you can, will be pressing the make button on these later this week!

cool :D give us 2 pins for the serial tx/rx pins and were away!

Can we hook the BT modules into the arduinos tx/rx pins rather than
using a software serial thing? It doesnt buffer incoming data like the
builtin uart does

Do you have a eagle library part for your bluetooth module?

Cool, will see if I can build a eagle part so the bt module can be solders directly onto the pcb (and still break out the serial pins for use if we want to)

awesome!
The "key" pin needs to be held high (at 3.3v) for us to put it into programming mode, theres a datasheet for it somewhere that i'll link to when i get a chance :)
