The RFID Skull Project (or, how to play real-life HALO multiplayer game "Oddball" with Airsoft)

Are you gonna post up some basic instructions and materials?

Team SWATT wants me to make one and I might as well pick up some electronics while I'm in Van.

EDIT: Also is that a breadboard in the skull? Should I go that route or with a standard PCB? What kind of materials am I looking at an an approximate cost from a hobby store (not The Source cause that shit is like 10x more expensive than a local electronics hobby store)

I should have details up in the new year.

In the meantime: If you really need to "pre-shop" then the key non-discrete parts are the RFID module (used a Parallax serial RFID unit), a serial 8x2 LCD, and an ATMEL ATMEGA8 microcontroller. And of course, one anatomically-accurate skull.

That is not a breadboard in the skull. It's perfboard plated on one side.

I wanted to know if any progress on this project as to the "how to" has been updated, as my interest is peaked - thanks.

Actually yes! Here is a LINK.

I provide an overview, the schematic for the electronics, and the source code (and precompiled .HEX file) for the microcontroller.

If any of that is just jibba-jabba to you, then you're going to have trouble making your own. :P

awesome... thank you.
