I selected fifteen RGB565 codes that represented the team colors for the Arduino's screen library, allowing the attacker's name to display in their team's color when they hit someone. After discussing weapon selection with a veteran, I categorized them into "Light," "Medium," and "Heavy" for clarity and revised the remote layout in CAD accordingly.
I printed the updated remote sticker after editing away the black area, which initially caused the nearby white lines to appear hazy. The new design required program adjustments, and I rearranged my functions within the if() statements to make everything work perfectly. I added the ability to adjust the LED ring's brightness and implemented a feature that displays attacker names in their team colors for quicker recognition. This feature will be particularly useful in free-for-all situations.
I designed a repeater that attaches to a standard remote, allowing me to toggle between multiple infrared LEDs or a single focused LED for signaling during laser tag battles. The compact design features an infrared receiver module, a PNP transistor, and a two-way switch, and it should fit on a 30 mm x 30 mm prototyping PCB.
I designed a case for the remote enhancer featuring four stalks for five-millimeter LED mounts and space for the leads, while the body secures the circuit board with four standoffs. It includes an internal slide switch, an indicator LED hole for signal reception, and a blank plate that will attach to a weaver rail for an LED focusing tube.
I updated my schematic to use an NPN transistor, but when I built the circuit on a breadboard, it malfunctioned with the lights remaining lit and flickering when activated. After troubleshooting, I discovered that the infrared receiver's LOW signal was incompatible with the NPN transistor, so I switched to a PNP transistor, which resolved the issue. However, when I tried to use the circuit as a repeater, it failed to turn on my television or taggers. As a last resort, I connected test wires from a remote LED to the transistor, which worked; however, I now need to build a new case, and I can't use the repeater with a Flipper Zero.
Nick Edwards suggested discussing Logan in relation to his comic, The Apostasy, which centers on themes of belief and punishment. While I appreciate the X-Men franchise, I found Logan to be a challenging watch due to its bleakness and the significant racial, cultural, and class discrepancies in its script.
