README
README.mdOpenLaserTag
OperLaserTag is a DIY system for the popular game lasertag. I have designed it for high flexibility for game modes. With this article series and a little knowledge about electronics with microcontrollers like the Arduino you should be able to build your own lasertag system. The work on this project isn't finished jet and I would be glad to receive some honest hints about what the system should be able to do and how this can be accomplished.
The System consists of the Arduino-based tagger, which is connected to a smartphone via bluetooth. The tagger uses an infrared LED and a lens to send a beam of modulated IR-light in the direction the tagger is pointed to. This works similar to normal IR-remotes, for example for your TV. The tagger is connected to a number of receiver modules, which are located on a vest, so that you can be hit by other players with their tagger. The Arduino informs the smartphone whenever something happens via a bluetooth-serial module and the smartphone does all the management of the game.
At the current state the tagger systems of different players don't have any contact. I designed the system, so that the game follows rules written in a XML-file and will end in a given time limit. This gives great flexibility, because you don't have to set up a communication system over the whole game field (which may be quite big). But this feature (over a limited range) could be added using 433MHz transmission modules.

Questions
How big is the Tagger production PCB?
It measures 50.8 × 74.9 mm and has 2 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.
What parts does the Tagger production use?
42 parts, built around the PCF8574AP and BC237. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.
Where can I download the Tagger production KiCad files?
From the lucullusTheOnly/OpenLaserTag repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Schematics/Tagger_production.kicad_pcb. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.
Can I use the Tagger production design in my own project?
Its repository states no licence, so its author keeps all rights: ask lucullusTheOnly before reusing the design.
