About the Open-Lasertag-System-Tagger PCB

Open-Lasertag-System-Tagger is an open source ESP8266 PCB design by CheatingBoy6890, published on GitHub under the BSD-3-Clause license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 35.6 × 105.4 mm, with 27 components from 23 distinct parts.

Its main chip is the WeMos_D1_mini, from the ESP8266 family. By type, the board carries 9 connectors, 9 resistors, 4 capacitors, 3 transistors and 1 IC.

It belongs with the displays & leds designs in this gallery.

From the project

Build your DIY Lasertag taggers and play where your heart desires with the possibility to connect a vest for even more fun.

Warning: This project uses lasers. Be sure to always do your own testing by meassuring voltage and current and by looking in datasheets. I am not responsible for any injuries you encounter from using this project. Also make sure to wear proper eye-protection.

The Tagger runs using 4 1,2V NiMh batteries! Don't use voltages greater than 5V in order to power the Tagger.
