SAMCO DIY Arduino Powered IR Light Gun
Howard_Casto:
So do we have a running total for the parts list now? Been thinking of building one since the sinden gun keeps getting delayed.
samco:
Hi Howard,
GunCon2's vary quite a bit but lets say $40US for the sake of argument. DF Robot IR Positioning Cameras are $23.55US + postage on there website, the cheapest ItsyBitsy you can get is $9.95US + postage and my PCB's are $10US + $3US postage. You might be able to save a little on potage by getting the Camera & ItsyBitsy board from a maker website so a safe estimate would be a little under $90US (+ postage) it you had to buy all the parts. Obviously you can save quite bit if you have an old GunCon2 floating around or can find one cheap :)

Howard_Casto:
Thanks for the reply. I was actually thinking of making a custom 3d printed enclosure. I'm not sure though.... that might not be worth the effort.
samco:
Yeah, that would be cool! But a lot of work :) If you're building your own Gun then you wouldn't need a PCB and could use any 32u4 board you like so the only so the only real cost would be the IR positioning camera. So be quite a bit cheaper but a lot more work. Cool idea though I'd love to know how ya go.
