2. The Configurable Laser Tag System (CLTS) project ran into problems. We came very close, but the power circuit failed. The System in and of itself is too complex to complete within the short time span. Nevertheless, we learned a lot, kept all of our code/documentation should anyone care to carry the torch in the future.

3. 1. Design Problem Statement 2. Design Problem Solution 3. Design Implementation 4. Test and Evaluation 5. Time and Cost Considerations 6. Safety and Ethical Considerations 7. Conclusion

4.  Problem  Specifications  Requirements  Constraints

5.  The Game System (i.e. how to play a game)  The Game Components (central computer, pylon, tagger, pack)  Communication System between components (IR and RF)  Software (XML parser, Compiler, Linker, GUI)

6. Drag-and-Drop GUI Abstract Syntax Tree (XML) XML Parser Compiler Linker

12. PCB development slides (unforeseen problems, lie) (CULPRIT) power circuit problems Central Computer › Include schematic › USB232R + X-BEE (discuss RF chip choice!)  Tagger › Include schematic › discuss LCD choice!  Pack › Receiver circuit schematic › Salvage picture?  Pylon › schematic

13. +3 and 0 were shorted after Parts were added Vdd and Vss pins on the microcontroller switched Footprint for everything wrong -All through-hole were wrong (Vias) -Different DC to DC converter chip -Half the size -USB size incorrect -Switch from crystal to timer on IR

14. Switch from crystal to timer on IR Switch from ONE-NET to X-BEE

15. Why we chose this microcontroller: More RAM More I/O pins Needed more timer channels

16. 360° Coverage 4 Color LEDs Daisy chain for Headshot and bodyshot Not enough I/O pins Schematic for IR sensor

18. TEAM IDPLAYER ID EVENT ID 40KHz Wave TSOP4840 IR Receiver TSAL6100 IR LED Example IR_Send Node WPN DMG

19.  Compiler Testing  IR Testing › Hamming Code › Distance testing in different environments  RF Testing › RSSI (signal strength) in different environments

20.  “table” of costs  Estimated cost for reproduction

21. Do not shine lasers directly into eyes Causes cancer

22. Don’t build up then tear down The importance of choosing proper components

23.  The Configurable Laser Tag System enables the user to not only play objective-based gametypes, but to script his own games.  We were unable to complete the project due to ____  Nevertheless, we worked as hard as possible, learned a lot, and had fun.
