OSDYLS - Open Source DIY Lasertag System #2

 Meanwhile I got already some of the parts...

 

 

The solenoid is pretty small so the recoil will probably feel a bit too weak but we will see. The IR diode came without any specs, I need to contact the chinese vendor about this or just get something else.

Due to lack of some other parts I started with some other testing, mechanic of the trigger *check*.  The spring is a 7x12,5mm from a spring collection but I assume it is also possible to get them without buying tons of other ;-) I´ll add links to the parts at a more final stage.

I also tested the FRAM with a tiny script, it works pretty well though I haven´t yet checked the hotplug capability. There comes a testscript with the lib from adafruit, however I reduced it to the really important stuff for the test:

#include "Adafruit_FRAM_I2C.h"

Adafruit_FRAM_I2C fram     = Adafruit_FRAM_I2C();

void setup(void) {
  Serial.begin(9600);
 
  if (fram.begin()) {  
    Serial.println("FRAM ok");
  } else {
    Serial.println("FRAM not ok");
    while (1);
  }
  delay(5000);
  Serial.print(fram.read(0x0));
  delay(5000);
  fram.write(0x0,133);
  delay(5000);
  Serial.print(fram.read(0x0));  
}
void loop(void) {
}

Due to the lack of a S1 Mini I used a D1 Mini for the test, make sure you connect the FRAM to 3,3V even if it can handle more it has to match the voltage of the D1 Mini.
