Introduction

Remember Laser tag?

Put one of these on your desk and one on your co-worker's and using the remote, it's a shoot out until 3 shots hit...

Embellishing

  • Customize the text as you wish. I've added Star Wars themes for the light and dark sides with Peizo buzzer(s).
  • They fit on the side of the pico reaching into the GND bank on the breadboard.
  • Each respective side's them will play if the other sides loses ("Emperial March" vs "Cantina")
  • See pic below

Components

  • IR Receiver
  • Remote
  • Pi Pico
  • Leds - Red, Yellow, Green
  • 470 Ohm (or similar) resistors

GPIO 15 IN (left leg)
GND 5 GND (middle leg)
5V/Pin 40 VCC (right leg

LEDs

GPIO Pin Color
GPIO 18 Green
GPIO 19 Yellow
GPIO 20 Red

Each LED also connects to it's own resistor.

Each resistor connects to the blue jumper which is connected to GND.
