Upgraded lamp zapper Build log
Posted: Wed May 15, 2019 5:53 pm
So when i found the video of the Lamp Zapper i wanted one. And only way to get it was to build one myself.
I have zero experience with arduino. So i spent an evening researching what i would need to build a better Lamp Zapper.
I looked for parts. And i found parts. Lots of cool stuff.
First i wanted the on/off switch to be triggered as you pulled the trigger and then turn off again to save battery as much as possible.
I also wanted the gun sound from shooting the ducks in Duck Hunt. So i had to look up how to fit that inside the zapper.
While searching i also found a haptic motor and controller witch would be nice to have.
Well, i ordered it all. I'm just waiting on the Adafruit Audio FX Mini Sound Board. After that i have all i need.

Tonight i've been wiring everything up to be ready to be programed.

The problem is that i have almost zero knowledge on how to program this.
When writing this i have manage to install everything and made the led on the board to blink.
So if anyone know any good beginners guide on how to program the arduino it would be appreciated.
