I am interested in using the light sensor and led layout of the Blinky POV project to make a flashlight (laser) tag device. The unit would start out with a “back and forth” (cylon) led pattern. But when the light sensor gets a direct hit from another player’s flashlight, the lights all light up. (or blink in unison) When the player gets hit he/she has to sit out until the game restarts.
At that point they would just press the button and the cylon pattern starts again.
-
Is this project possible with the current design?
-
How would I reprogram the microchip to execute this type of game?
-
Are there other parts that would be necessary?
I’m new to electronics and programming but I am wanting to learn how to do both and I thought this project would be a good way to get my feet wet.
