Touché

Overview

Touché is a wireless scoring system for fencing based on Arduino and nrf24l01.

The goal is to make an affordable, open source and open hardware system.

It currently only works for epee.

/!\ Foil and sabre support is in the roadmap but in a latter version that will certainly be on a dirrerent mcu (ESP32 or STM32).

The system is divided into 3 parts: one base station and two fencer boxes.

During the early days of this project I called the base station the server and the fencer boxes the clients, I will use this naming in this document and across the project.

Getting started

To make a system you'll have to go through these steps:

Order the PCB and all the components
3D print the boxes
Program the Arduino
Solder the PCB and assemble everything
Enjoy!

I wrote a step-by-step tutorial that you can find in Assembly_Guide.

If you have a question about anything (please read the tutorial first) you can open a Github issue and I will try my best to answer you.

About the directory structure

This repository contains all the sources, 3D files, and PCB files needed to make this system.

.
├── Archive           # some old versions of the project
├── Documents         # pcb sources, and STL files
├── Code              # source code
├── Assembly_Guide/   # step by step tutorial to DIY

Each directory has its own README.md to explain this with more details.
