The interface box creates connections between the analog boards that you fabricated in ECE340, the ZYBO embedded system board, and the gun. In order to reduce cross-talk between the transmitter and the receiver there are two power supplies. The receiver runs off of a 9V battery contained within the interface box and the ZYBO board and the transmitter both run off of a 5V USB connection. The USB connection can be connected to either a computer, a USB wall plug, or a battery. These connections external to the interface box are shown here {{:box_connections.jpg?200|}}. | The interface box creates connections between the analog boards that you fabricated in ECE340, the ZYBO embedded system board, and the gun.

This figure {{:laser_tag_box2.jpg?200|}} shows the Analog Interface is where the analog boards (what you will build in ECE340) will plug in. The Digital Interface is where the ZYBO board will be plugged in. The analog interface board {{:board_back_front_2.jpg?200|}} has four connections (a) connects to the transmitter board, (b) connects to the receiver board, (c) connects to the gun photodiode, and (d) connects to the other gun components. The interface board also has a switch (e) that connect the receiver board to the 9V battery. There is no on/off switch for connection to the USB power. | This figure {{:laser_tag_box2.jpg?200|}} shows the Analog Interface is where the analog boards (what you will build in ECE340) will plug in.
