It’s soon time for me to release all detail information on how to build it and explain in detail how it will work, but i can already now give you the shopping list if you are going to build the new improvment version of this shooting game. Please note, that is up to you to choose cases for everything, and power the raspberry pi. I just give you the components that needed.

Targets

The targets are simple, i will not give you shopping list for the old piezo model.
Please note that this if just for 1 target.

  • 1x Atmega 328p Microcontroller (Recommended with Uno Bootloader)
  • 2x 16 MHz crystal
  • 2x Unploariced capacitor on 22 uF
  • 1x Vibration sensor switch
  • 1x green led diod
  • 1x blue led diod
  • 1x red led diod
  • 1x NRF24L01+ Transmitter module
  • 1x 10uF poloriced capacitor
  • 3x 220 Ohm resistors
  • 1x power button
  • 1x Lipo battery
  • 1x TP4056 Charger module for lipo batterys

Main Unit

For the main unit you can use any arduino with USB connection, it will work as an serial communication with the Raspberry pi. All info of game to play is sent from the Raspberry pi.
The transmitters do work with the raspberry pi, so if you know some coding, you can skip this main unit, and make it run from the pi computer. But i think that the arduino is more stable for this.

  • 1x Arduino (Nano or Uno works good)
  • 1x NRF24L01+ Transmitter module
  • 1x 10uF Poloriced capacitor

Raspberry Pi

The Raspberry Pi holds everything about the game, what type of game you are going to play, the history, players and stuff like that.

Depending on how you are going to use the system, i added optional on some that you don’t need. You must have an Raspberry pi for this new version to work.

  • 1x Raspberry pi
  • 1x Raspberry pi touch screen (Optional *1)
  • 1x ATXRaspi (Optional *2)
  • 1x RTCRaspi (Optional *3)
  • 1x Termal printer (Optional *4)
  • 1x Barcode scanner (Optional *5)

*1: You can use only the raspberry pi if you have wifi on it, and make it a hotspot to connect to so you can use your smartphone or tablet. Not going to explain how, you find info on google.

*2: This is an powerbutton module that i recommend. Never cut the power without shut down the pi.

*3: This is to make the system clock work without using network. (The game saves time and date)

*4: This is if you need to print out results on a terminal printer.

*5: If you use termal printer, you can scan a barcode to get history about the game and other stuff. An usb barcode scanner that works like a keyboard is needed.
