Hi there, iv'e been asked by a friend to come up with a design for a paintball site he runs for experianced players. Therefore i thought i'd come on here and share my idea before commiting to the materials and finding out the idea is flawed etc.
The basic idea he gave me was each team is given a reciever that beeps more frequently as you get closer to the transmitter which will be deployed in advance.
To further this i have decided to attempt to use this project for my college project for my HNC in electronics.
I have come up with the idea of using a pre built off the shelf components for both the transmitter and reciever and then taking the RSSI output from the reciever and putting this into a PIC where i would sort out all the sounder frequencies etc.
I am also looking at having a sort of anti-tamper device on the transmitter so that when the transmitter is found it sends out a different signal which is read by both teams recievers and informs them that the item is found.
For the transmitters and recievers i was looking at using **broken link removed**
Thanks for any help
