Hi all, the project is very cool. I have all the parts connected / soldered them but cannot handle the massive feedback problem (Version 1.1 or 2: no difference). I want to have all parts in the helmet and would like to install the speaker (it's not a aker speaker) in the chin. I played with the parameters (eg. mic gain) without success. Do you have any ideas to eliminate the feedback? I also tries to isolate the speaker with foam material. In my opinion this had no effect. Anyone installed all parts in the helmet? Any advice is welcome.

Hi Nik, a coworker of me told me exactly the same today. I already tested to control one LED of the 10 segment display with the analog input pin A0 and it works very well. So if the extra wire fit in the pipe, I think I implement the other 4 LEDs, too. It wars vary easy to use the analog pin. The syntax ist the same and you don't need to initialize extra libs and you don't have to implement extra methods. Very cool regards, Christian

Hi all, I have an idea and perhaps anyone can help me. I plan to control each LED of the 10 segment display and not only 5 LEDs. At the moment the nano always turns two LEDs off at the same time. For instance after 8 shots the first tow of the LEDs turns off. I want that the first LED turns off after 4 short and the second after another 4 shots. Long, long ago I've learned that I'm able to get 16 states out of 4 bits. So today I googled a little bit and ordered this decoder: http://www.ebay.de/itm/231737470476?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT The main idea is to get more flexibility to control the 10 segment display and you only have to use 4 instead of 5 digital outputs. If my calculations are correct I have the use 150Ohm resistors instead of the 30 Ohm resistors. What do you think about my idea? Does the decoder fit the project parameters? Can anyone help me?

OK, folks. Do you see it now? I used TinyPic

Damn. I don't get it but I can't upload images.

strange. It was uploaded to photobuckt and I can see the pic

Hi all, here is is small update from Germany. I received the first parts of my arduino blaster build. With this parts i wars able to activate the counter nice, isn't it The trigger and reload button are working fine. Now I have to wait for the RGB LED and the sound module.

Hi, I cannot download / see the schemes. Is anyone still able to see it?

Hi all, I want to build an arduino blaster, too. All parts have been ordered (in three different currencies by the way) and the first parts have arrived. Yesterday I tested the Arduino and edited the blinking program. So far, so good. I have some expericences with raspberry pi but this will be my first arduino project. I think this will be very funny. Greetings from Germany and I wish you a nice arduino weekend
