budgie Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 HI!!!I wish to design and make a stability and precision training device for archers (in archery) which enables trainings in/ or out of the archery range.Please advice on the electronic circuitries and components for the following proposal, the technical part as to how to mount components are secondary and I will design for it at the later stage;Tilt Switch for Laser Pointer at the Archer's End:-- A laser pointer connected to the tilt switch. - Once archer's bow is raised to horitontal shooting position, 'Tilt Switch' is ON. Switches laser pointer ON and shoots at target.-Once archer's bow is lowered to rest position, 'Tilt Switch' is OFF. Laser pointer is switched OFF.Target Hit Counter at Target End:--A Light / Laser sensor to receive laser beam on target. (Sensor Diameter range = 5mm to 10mm)-Once laser beams on target (the receiving sensor mentioned above), counter starts to count lenght of time ON TARGET.-Once laser beam is off target, timer reset to zero and stand-by the next hit.Optional at Target End:-External sensor extending radially from the target sensor (approximately another 10 mm further) connected to red LED indicator, to represent target HIT close to Bull's eye.Other considerations:--A normal laser pointer to be modified to accomodate TILT SWITCH.-Alternatively to look for ready-to-be connected laser pointer for the above application.-Range of effective laser point distance = 10 to 30m. (depending on available market range).-End product need to be run via batteries (9V?) will be sufficient.P/S this product or idea is not in the market yet. And I have no electoronic background but am eager to take the challenge for my school project. And hopefully to be able to contribute to archery enthusiastes out there!Thank you and I look forward to some suggestions.Daniel(Singapore) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Yevgenip Posted December 14, 2004 Report Share Posted December 14, 2004 Just do what you said, you don't need too many schematics. :)If you have a laser pointer, replace its switch with a tilt-switch.For the target reception, use a phototransistor that will trigger a counting circuit.I don't see how the counting circuit will help you If it will reset once the beam is off.
