Author Topic: Simple Wireless Device?  (Read 1136 times)

As some of you might have noticed, I've been gone for a while. I've been playing a lot of Airsoft recently and I thought up an idea, but I'm not sure how expencive/difficult this project would be. We usally play Free-for-all, Team Deathmatch, and Capture the Flag. But I thought of a way to play Control the Areas. Now here is where my question comes in. Is there a way to make a devices that will send a signal to a host device easily? This is my plan:

The Transmiter would send a signal to the Reciever when the switch is slid to one side, lighting up the corisponding LEDs.  When an LED lights up on the Reciever, it adds 1 to the LED counter of that color. My question is how would you transmit the signal to the Reciever?

i dont know, but since there's a switch, how would you know if the other people are cheating or not?
Also: Paintball is better than Airsoft  XD

You could probably make all that from parts available at Radioshack. They have all kinds of circuit board sets and parts. They have small LEDs and screens also.

Unfortunately I don't know quite how to make it.

Yay bias.

You would need some kind of cool down timer so people don't just rapidly push the switch over and over again to generate points.

Or bring in the Agrocrag from Guts and make it difficult to even get to the thing.  :cookieMonster:

I know, but no one will play Paintball with me. And my paint went bad...

To keep people from cheating, I can wire it so it won't add unless it switches to the other team. That means if they kept switching it, the other team would get points too.

Conquest should be done with slow raising flags, or slow changing holograms only.


You know what, screw technology, I can put a guy in a trashcan with two flags.

But really, I could put a cool-down timer like reactor said.
