Progress is going slow. Mostly because of university stuff that take most of my time. I did finish the schematic.

Schematic consists of 2 boards one for control and one for power electronics that (dis)charges the capacitor bank.

The plan is to have 4 buttons to navigate the menu and another 4 buttons for switching to fire mode, switching to charge mode, firing and discharging the capacitors. All switches are hardware debounced so programming should be way easier.

Already have the display working after adapting my own display driver from a lasertag project.
