So we got another BT module!

A project log for Gun Trigger Force Logger

This is a project which aims to create a DIY solution to fight bad aim due to uneven pressure on the trigger by smartphone logging over BT.

Yay for that! It's CC2540 based as well, but the unpopulated board pins are so tiny! I tried making an adapter board for it with the classic - laser printer, magazine paper, iron it on, peel off, dissolve excess copper. Since the spaces between individual pins are only 0,47 mm wide so that was quite unsuccesful - they sort of merged. Laser toner is just plastic you melt on the copper so no wonder. Order a good prototyping PCB? Not my thing. I have drawn the traces to pins we need (GND, VCC, TX, RX, RST) by hand with aan alcohol based pen. Aw yeah, old school. I shall etch and solder and be back with an update with pictures , hopefully we finally get to actually test it all with the arduino mini and the briliant code to build on from this series:

Thanks [WaiHoYan]!
In the future I'm thinking once we have a proper working board to parse data to android, we could design a holder under the pistol barrel and 3d-print it in the nearest hackerspace brmlab.cz. Balance is vital. Give this a skull or follow for more updates!
