The DIY TTS is meant to run in conjunction with Tom Talpey's Bullseye Match app. The app 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.
Project information & instructions
Visit the project site for the complete documentation and setup information:
The system can run standalone, or you can shoot with up to 20 friends and have my system 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. Read those after this. :-)
Motherboard & pricing
It has two modes:
- Standalone — where you can shoot by yourself.
- 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 roughly $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.
Payment options
Multiple systems running simultaneously
Running multiple systems with one iPhone will require a master controller. The unit is $120. 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 20 workers at present.
External relay
The system can also drive an external relay, if you have a range setup where you're using an 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 additional cost and I need to know if you want an AC or DC relay.
