Project: Smart Shooting Range

Not sure how it could be used in a larp but fun in it’s own right :slight_smile:


Configure a run.

Run it


Where to?
Only limited by your imagination.

How about this Kill house scenario.

You walk in, alone, in the dark.
You trip the ir beam.
First target pop’s up, a 1ftx1ft square.
Double tap, target down
4 more in this fashion.

Target 6 is triggered by sound, it slowly moves into position.
As you dispatch it, the noise from your shooting activates the other 3 sound triggered ones.

Now to get interesting.
Target 9 is tripped via pir sensor.
It presents itself, starts shooting randomly after 2 secs.

Target 11.
Scan’s the field of view with a narrow pir beam , horizontal and vertical, and and records your position.
Starts shooting at YOU after 2 secs.

Had enough? :smiley:

Statistics
Shots fired
Hits
Hits required
Missed
(to be done, currently raw data is there)
Reaction time, time to first shot from target presentation.

The slave unit board

Add steady hands + good eyes

Target units
No DVD drives were harmed in this production.

The plain 433mhz wireless moduels proved to be too much trouble.
Bring on xBee from maxstream.
Had these stiing around for some time but procrastenated due to them being 3.3v only.
Used a Vreg for power but interfaced IO directly to 5v system via resistors.
Seems to work fine :slight_smile:
-

Wired up and bench tested.

Out into the back yard.

And we’re OFF
The sound is out of sync for some reason but you get the idea.

Run results.
Program still needs to be debugged, not counting the shots properly.

The shot sensor mounted.
Chose right hand as left hand may be changing mags and could give false triggers.

Next step?
Make them all wireless.
Adds about $40 per target but well worth it :slight_smile:

Woa crap.

It is a little bit hard to see how the targets are working… Can you explain how this all works a little more?

Sure :slight_smile:

The targets have a green and red led.
And a mic for sensing the hit.

You configure a run via the computer.
How may targets to present,
how long each one is live
how many hits required
how many to present at the same time

Then you run it.

The red led turns on to indicate the target is live.
If you hit it enough and within the alloted time, the green light will flash briefly to show you got it.

At the end of the run some basic statistics are displayed.
Shots fired, hits, misses.

The raw data is there to work out your reaction time as well.
And other stats for those that need more. :wink:

Man, thats sweet!

What do you write your software in?

On the micro side Bascom
mcselec.com/

VB for the pc but that was done for me by a friend.
About to be rewritten in Dephil by someone else as the original programmer has gone awol.
