DOMINATOR via Arduino for Airsoft / Paintball / Nerf Wars

Image
Today, I'd like to introduce you to a nearly dusty project I once created for an Airsoft team. The requirement was to program the DOMINATOR via Arduino, which would be universal and meet the requirements that the correct DOMINATOR should have and slightly changed in terms of control. What is DOMINATOR actually? This is a device used to play the King of the Hill gaming mode, the King of the Hill (Point). The device should have a two-time display for both game teams. The one who gets the DOMINATOR gets pressed and the time starts to add to his team. (Both times are initially set to 00 hours, 00 minutes and 00 seconds). The time is added to the moment until the point is occupied by another team and the button does not change the amount of time added to your side. As far as I wanted to distinguish the project, I used an RFID reader that can read the cards and keyboards at 13.56MHz (there is an equivalent to 125kHz) and in this way we can replace the mechanical buttons. How does th

Firesport stopwatch via Arduino with LCD display

Today I will introduce you briefly the fire stubs, or the timekeepers I created it as huge firesport fan. The competition firefighters team is guessing every village or part of the city. Every week, especially in the summer season, competitions take place in the villages, and the teams attribute valuable points, successes and failures decided by hundreds or thousands of seconds. For this purpose, I have created simple stopwatches, which to a certain extent allowed me to measure time, for example, in the training of domestic firefighters. For the whole logic of the system, I used the millis, which is the function of the internal Arduin timer, which returns milliseconds from the start of the processor. So we can measure time to 3 decimal places (1000 ms = 1 second). We can therefore determine the accuracy of one thousandth (not real....). This means that we can measure time. We need some initial impulse - something we take down the start time and run the whole logic of the system.
