Arduino based LaserTag from Detroit

[tomwj]

Hi all,

I stumbled across this http://omnicorpdetroit.com/blog/2011/05/04/great-global-hackerspace-challenge/ which is a barebones LaserTag system from a Detroit hackerspace which may make a good jumping off point to get a minimal working system. I didn't notice it in any of the messages or on the wiki so thought I would add it to both. Also the wiki page still has a lot of discussion on it would it be okay to remove this? and archiving it into a post to this group.

I remember talking about this with people at the pacman thing in Milton Keynes really pleased that things are starting to develop.

I'm currently working on modifying my shield in light of some of the chats we have had on the list and wiki, will post about it soon!

awesome! I was a bit wary of using something that has its protocol documented in a word document but hey.. if it works!

Just to be clear, my shield has nothing to do with the Detroit one :)

are you leaving the unused pins exposed so we can solder our own kit onto it?

Yes, will get a updated version posted to the list some time tonight for comments etc
