Had a few computer problems and took a while to sort things out. As for the question that was asked of me about meelee weapons, I was looking at using a short...
I've been looking for some low cost storage for my project, as it'd be nice to have an external RAM disk for what I'm doing, but unfortunatly most "good"...
As you can probably tell, I'm in the middle of working out the memory requirements of my system, and I've found a good Flash Memory chip. Jameco #74771 128k x...
Futurlec seems to have quite a number of cheap flash chips, which would make for great flash drives for an embedded project. The boast over 1,000,000 erase...
I've been wanting to add some RAM to my system, to give me a large storage space for information on who hit whom, for statistics at the end of the match (i.e....
I think we can all agree that a display on one of these units is fairly important, and any of us who have been to a laser tag arena know how useful, and...

Ok, after consulting with some people, reading up on current specifications I've constructed the format I will be using for sending/recieving a tag. First off,...

Ok, I've done a lot of leg work lately, and wanted to share the fruits of my labors. First off, I've identified several high power emitters. Most noteable is...
I would really enjoy contributing but I've received only two postings so far over the past month and I still have no idea what topic in regards to the use of...
We had to go to this setup because originally we had a small group of contributors, and a lot of people leeching off of the work. Those actively contributing...
Anyone who has kept up with electronics realizes that the availability of complex IC's has dramatically increased since WoW introduced their first tag sensor....

Hi kyraeric, Digital clock LED display just like a digital watch that display real time/calendar. Well If I've been 'missing' or say out of place in this...
I had been looking for a large LED display countdown timer for out laser tag games for two years. One, for timing scenario based games, and two, to limit the...
Another way, which actually is much cheaper, is to build your own countdown timer using a uC and a 3.2768MHz crystal. A crystal of this frequency divides down...
Thanks Kyraeric for your reply.Yes, it is really a pleasure in my part if you could give me some algorithm about the setup and the ASM source code. Hoping for...

HIya everyone. I hope you dont mind a big bad corporate designer joining up. I was (and still am) a hobby designer long before that. Some of you may know me...
Phil, Enormous thanks for the Tagtek link. Exactly what I was in search of!!! I had no idea how to start building a decent casing for my MilesTag circuits,...
Not quite sure what you are looking for. What is Decoreted? Do you mean a sequential LED flasher - like the Nightrider Kitt Car, or Battlestar Galactica...
Hi All, I unfortunately am one of these Lurkers people talk about. My idea is this: 1. Hang around, getting info off many boards. 2. Talk to people (yes...
