Warning: This project uses lasers. Be sure to always do your own testing by meassuring voltage and current and by looking in datasheets. I am not responsible for any injuries you encounter from using this project. Also make sure to wear proper eye-protection.

What is Open-Lasertag-System?

Open-Lasertag-System is our approach to a build Lasertag that can be played anywhere without the need of setting up repeaters or servers, whilst beeing pretty easy to build and extend to fit your needs. It works decentral using a WIFI mesh,so the range and fun extends the more players you have!

Currently the project consists of five parts:

  1. The Taggers are fully functional with features such as different firemodes and score synchronization
  2. The vests are functional and connect wirelessly with the corresponding tagger
  3. Targets : For those who don't want to shoot at each other can just shoot at these. The plan also ist to intergrate the further into the system for modes like capture the Flag
  4. Logger: Counts wich target have been hit by whom
  5. There's a Laser grenade planned

What is this repository?

This is the repository for the vests of the system. here you'll find all the neccessary files on how to build a vest your self.

The instructions on building can be found in the Hardware folder

What you'll need:

  • A vest
  • Sewing equipment or tons of glue
  • An ESP 8266 WEMOS D1 mini
  • 2x 8 LED piece of ws2812b LED strip
  • At least 4 Tsop4838 infrared receivers
  • A piece of perf matrix board
  • Pin header
  • Cable
  • Battery holder 4 AA batteries
  • Battery clip
  • A switch
  • Time

Connecting the Tagger

The Tagger can be connected easyly, by shooting at the vest while the display is showing "Connecting vest". When a vest is connectd, you'll see a small icon in the top right of the display.

Who are we?

We are two German students. Since we are twins, we build and programm a lot of projects together. We create all of our projects in our free time. Feel free to mail any questions to cyberfox3801@proton.me . We want to motivate people to discover what is possible using 3D printing and microcontrollers.
The most productive worker of our small group is our cat Susi. image !

Congratulations you made it to the end of this readme. If you want this to be longer consider buying us a coffe (https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=2RZBTA5GMNH6S) so we can make all files longer and better. Don't forget to cuddle your cat. I know she's waiting.
