A few interesting things have cropped up lately. One, Hackaday had a post about Hacking laser tag and building custom guns. Which takes us to Brad's blog and his cool stuff about hacking the Light Strike line of guns. He's gone much further than I have. He's taken a Teensy Arduino board and can now encode (shoot) and decode (be shot) with his unit. Read more about it in his blog post, but it's a great start.
So now it seems I need to learn arduino and all the lingo that goes with that world. Why the heck is it called a 'stamp'? Dunno, but I'm going to find out. Hopefully I can pick it up quickly. Assuming I can duplicate, to some degree, the simple targets (change color when shot) I would like to try to get two targets to talk to each other, or saving that, have all the targets talk to a central score board. Then you can have all kinds of senario battles, such as capture the flag, rescue the hostage, etc.
Anyway, we'll see how far I get, my history with following through on things like this isn't too good.
