Shooting Drills System

Project

• Recreational shooting is a sport enjoyed by millions around the world
• This project allows shooters to easily practice or compete in shooting drills
• Use an app to interact with a system of LEDs and sensors to get timed feedback
• The scope of this project is limited to the design of the server and client software

System

Methods

• The key feature of the system is the interpreter in the server
• The client sends data written in a micro-language of my design to the server
• The instructions of the micro-language tell the server how to play a shooting drill
• This design allows new drills to be played by only updating the client app
• Consumers are more familiar with updating apps than updating firmware

Conclusion

Objectives and Requirements Met

• The system allows for the timing of shooting drills with millisecond precision
• New drills can be added by simply updating the client app
• The system is very easy to use, making for great accessibility
• This project taught me about asynchronous programming, networking, and code interpretation
• In the future, I’d like to design a wireless sensor that is powered by ambient electromagnetic waves, based upon RFID technology
