BattleCore Sensor Module

Open Source Hardware

The BattleCore Sensor Module is a compact, wearable hit-detection module designed to plug into the BattleCore Headband Mainboard as one of up to four sensors distributed around the head for independent hit zones.

It features 2x IR receivers with 90-degree cones of reception, mounted at a 45-degree angle so that together they cover a continuous 180-degree field of detection from a single physical position. Both IR receivers are multiplexed onto a single input line on the host mainboard, simplifying wiring and freeing GPIO on the headband mainboard.

The module also carries a single addressable RGB LED, controlled directly by the headband mainboard MCU, so each sensor module can independently indicate hit feedback, team colour, status, or game-driven effects.
