Inspiration

airsoft aim trainer

What it does

box counts hits based on accelerometer and indicator LEDs

How we built it

accelerometer impulse detector + digital counter

Challenges we ran into

arduino nano died halfway through the project, switched to arduino due soldered a bunch of stuff in the wrong place. spent hours desoldering our mistakes. h a r d w a r e .

Accomplishments that we're proud of

registering hits by measuring acceleration impulses on an i2c bus designed to be 100% portable by using 2 18650 batteries it hasnt exploded y e t .

What we learned

for future usage, we will use not i2c accelerometers as they are severely limiting. (i.e. spi, or schmitt triggering) arduino likes to work for 5 minutes and then not work the next 5 brute force is how you win

What's next for pew pew county thingy

more branches/accelerometers, for more of a challenge more digits for display so user can see more stats
