Projects: Nerf GunThe Nerf gun modification was a project that a friend and I decided we wanted to do. The goal of this project was to modify a Nerf gun to fire via an electrical signal instead of a mechanical trigger. My role on this project was to figure out how the electrical mechanism worked inside of the Nerf gun and then to use my custom printed PCB board that incorporates an Atmega328 microprocessor to control the firing of the Nerf gun.
I learned a ton from this project including the simple design of this specific Nerf gun and how to use transistors as switches. This project will help me be an asset to potential employers because of my ability to reverse engineer a product that exists and can make it better. |
