Connected the audio module to an amplifier. Sounds really loud.

New version of the software + a fire module selection option. Regular and Stun laser gun. Everything working at 5V.

  pam8803 -> setVolume(50);

  laserGunFactoryParameters.setWtvDataPin(WTV_DATA_PIN);
  laserGunFactoryParameters.setWtvBusyPin(WTV_BUSY_PIN);
  laserGunFactoryParameters.setAnalogLedPin(ANALOG_LED_PIN);
  laserGunFactoryParameters.setTriggerPin(TRIGGER_PIN);
  laserGunFactoryParameters.setFireModePin(FIRE_MODE_PIN);
  laserGunFactoryParameters.setLaserGunType(LASER_GUN_TYPE);
  laserGun = LaserGunFactory::getLaserGun(laserGunFactoryParameters);
}

void loop() {
  laserGun -> senseSwitches();
}

Attached the whole Sketch in this post. Enjoy.

And everything working at 3.3v with a new Arduino Mini Pro 8Mhz.



By the way, the laser gun was 3D printed last week:





I am about to finish this project in about 3 months.

Thanks, you stared all this Arduino fever on me
