Infra Red Target Game (Very Simple!)

[MichaelCollier]

Here is a really simple gun and target project. The range can be improved by using multiple IR transmitters, it is usable to about 30 feet.

The range can be extended by placing a lens (i.e. from a camera) over the transmitter, but this seemed to require a more accurate aim to hit the target, maybe because the IR field is narrower.


It has two parts, the Gun and the Target.

Hi,
Very interested in the gun / target as grandchildren had a similar toy for Christmas which I now want to produce an improved version of. I was searching for suitable circuits to use with some maplin emitters / sensors and picked up this thred . Since I have a picaxe development board this seems ideal. If there is any chance of posting the circuits I would be most grateful.
Thanks
