New Project : Electronic PC Darts Game

<< < (3/4) > >>

Actually, there is only the resistive touchscreen (just like a PDA), this is a glass with a thin film over it. It is not very strong. A capacitive touchscreen would have been better (like iPhone), it is stronger, but I did it with what i had.

But I tried it with total newbies, and no problem. In fact, the target area is big enough to avoid accident :D

BASS!:
Hmmmm, I would seriously think about adding in a sheet behind the bezel, give a kid some darts and see what happens :dunno

He'll end up with it sticking out of his body somehow......  :laugh:

Seriously, covering touchscreens is not straight forward if you still want the touchscreen to work. I thought the darts were plastic tipped but we don't have those machines here in the UK our bars just have real dartboards with real darts.

I would love to build something like this.  Can you post the instructions to wire it up via USB?  Anything you can provide would be really helpful.  I have plenty of MDF just sitting around waiting to be cut.

I did notice you said you would be interested in selling the HID board if your employer allows it.  If so, I am interested.  I would love to have something like this.

You could easily add a swinging acrylic door over the touchscreen. Swing it open, do your touching, then close it again.
