This weekend I have started work on the Admin Box, which when completed will allow me to start implementing persistent game data on the guns. So far I have only really got the physical construction of the box done and laid down the basic core code to write to the screen and read the position of the selector dial switch.
The Admin Box has 3 buttons, two on top which are used to increase or decrease the currently selected variable and one on the bottom which transmits the current variable. There is also a selector dial switch on the side, this swicthes between all the variables and also selects which commands to transmit.
The unit is using a shiny new 20×4 LCD screen I purchased with a funky blue backlight. Below are a couple of pictures to show the progress so far, expect updates to follow as the box becomes more functional.
