University of Michigan - EECS 373 Final Project: Duck Hunt
5This is a project for the class EECS 373: Design of Microprocessor Based Systems at the University of Michigan. This project is inspired by the 1984 classic light gun shooter of the same name: Duck Hunt. The objective of the game is to shoot as many ducks on the screen as possible to score points. Our version of the game supports up to two players.
The processed IR camera input is converted into pixel coordinates through the LPC1769 board installed in the gun. Individual XBEEs on the controller then wirelessly communicate the coordinates to the processor, which displays the cursor, scores, and ducks on the monitor using VGA.
The gun functions similar to the Wii remote. It perceives the two IR sources on top of the monitor and uses proportionality of rectangles to map the LED sources to a corresponding position on the screen.
The gun model is 3D printed and tailored to fit the following components: IR camera, XBEE, LPC1769, cooling fan, battery, rumble motor, button (for the trigger), and power switch.
