ArduCore *** Arduino based Laser Tag System *** Open Source Project Latest information: MilesTag Forum
|
| This is an open source
project to create a MilesTag-compatible laser tag system using the Arduino
processor and language. To contribute to this project, or just to
learn more about it, please visit us on the MilesTag
Forum.
The Arduino was chosen for this project due to it's popularity among hobbyists and it's powerful yet easy to learn language. The Arduino's low cost (free) development environment makes it accessible to a much wider audience than most other microcontroller development systems. The ArduCore project is geared toward hobbyists that are already familiar with the Arduino hardware and software. If you do not have prior experience with Arduino, you may want to start with some simpler projects to learn the basics. |
