Indoor/outdoor DIY Turning Target System

The DIY TTS is meant to run in conunction with Tom Talpey's Bullseye Match app It is free. For the hardware required to run it, see below! This is intended to be a 90% complete DIY project where you just mount the components onto a medium of your choosing. Here are user submitted completed photos. The system can run standalone or you can shoot with up to 19 friends and have my sytem run it all simultaneously (youtube demo). There is an option for gun ranges to use my board in conjunction with a pneumatic or electric cylinder as well. The full website and Wiki is here. I also have some Installation Instructions Read those after this. :-)

The cost for the Motherboard is only ($125 + s/h)

It has two modes.

  1. Standalone (where you can shoot by yourself)
  2. "Worker" (where a master controller controls 2-20 TTs simultaneously).

This is intended to be a DIY kit to keep the cost down for people. I have an amazon list here for the required components
The combined cost of components will be roughtly $70 in addition to the motherboard. If you are building multiple at one time, you will find bulk discounts (3+) on the stepper motors, drivers, etc., to cut significant cost out.

Kit option

The kit option is the board from option #1, just all in pieces. The code will be loaded, and you will receive a baggie with all the parts that need soldered in.

Multiple systems running simultaneously

Running multiple systems with one iphone will require a master controller. The unit is $50. It will require a portable phone charger. ($9-15, but most people have them laying around the house) When the TTS's are in "Worker" mode, the phone will connect to the master, and the master will relay (simultaneously) the commands to each worker. You can have up to 10 workers at present.

External Relay

The system can also drive an external relay, if you have a range setup where you're using a electric or pneumatic cylinder to turn multiple targets at once. This board drives the Indianapolis Marion County range where our state matches are held. It turns 24 positions at a time using an air compressor and external relay. The external relay option is an addional $10 and I need to know if you want an AC or DC relay. Let me know if you would like to proceed! Thank you for your interest. Happy Shooting,
