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
