I think that will give me the basics to build one of these, budgets a bit tight atm is all, thanks.
Yes, you can hack the wilmote cam but it's a bit involved process, especially to adjust the cam in the gun's barrel once the circuit is done.
Beside the cam module you will need a 25MHz crystal, few diodes and a way to convert the arduino 5v i2c levels to 3v3 (either a level shifter pcb or resistor divider). I will send you the schematics and detailed parts list.
I guess the IR bar LEDs should work, but you might need to figure out their specs to know how to power them correctly

And yes, that's the board we are using.
No problem, it's difficult times, and it's always better to start diy on cheap hardware anyway

I might just order the right camera then, I found it for a good price on Amazon, as for the LEDs it's a wireless bar so just takes X amount of batteries, which I suspect I can run from a USB port for equvailent power.
