/diy/ - Do It Yourself

A WIImote uses an IR camera to figure out where the sensor bar is. Using that technology would be a very different project: Microcontroller to read camera data, generate waveforms in code, then output to a DAC.

I wanted a change of pace from microcontroller based projects so I decided to do something with only analog hardware like people did in the early days of electronic music.

Using light gun technology also means I get a lot of exciting unexpected audio and visual effects. There's a feedback loop: Audio effects the video output, which effects the light gun output, which effects the audio.
