BLTroniX - Short for Blaster Electronics is the name for my Arduino based E-11 Blaster Electronics PCB board.
Designed to hold the Arduino Nano, PAM8403 amplifier, DFPlayer Mini, and resistors. (The resistors are pre-soldered to the PCB)
The only wires and connections needed are for the LED strip and fire LED, OLED display, buttons, switches, speakers and battery.
Hopefully making installing the electronics a lot easier with less wiring.
WS2812B LED Strip and Fire LED Data Line to Arduino Pin D3
0.91" OLED Display Screen SDA to Arduino Pin A4 - SDA
0.91" OLED Display Screen SCL to Arduino Pin A5 - SCL
Trigger Button/Switch One Pin Arduino Pin D9
Weapon Select Button/Switch One Pin to Arduino Pin D8
Reload Button/Switch One Pin to Arduino Pin D7
Magazine Detection Buton/Switch One Pin to Arduino Pin D6
Laser On-Off Button/Switch One Pin to Arduino Pin D5
Red Dot Laser Diode Connector POS to Arduino Pin D4
DFPlayer Mini RX to Arduino Pin D1 - TX
All switch/buttons have a GND wire going from the same button pin used to connect to the Arduino with a 10K Ω resistor.
The other switch/button pin goes to POS.
The WS2812B LED strip POS goes direct to the battery - GND to GND
All other POS and GND connections go to 5V POS and GND on the Arduino
PLEASE NOTE: No other Arduino Nano Digital or Analogue Pins are configured on the BLTroniX PCB Board.
BLTroniX E-11 Blaster Arduino Code
My Arduino Code for the E-11 Blaster is based on the Arduino Open Blaster code by TK8177 of the Italica Garrison.
Over the years I have learned a lot more on how to program the Arduino so have now completely changed the code to what it is today,
I have added a lot more functions and also included a display screen which is mounted in the Hengstler Counter.
The BLTroniX Code comes pre-programmed on the Arduino Nano and has no user configurable options.
Please Note: My Arduino BLTroniX program code is NOT open-source software so is not available for download. It comes pre-installed on the microcontroller.

Option 1:
Self Build Kit with the BLTroniX PCB
This option includes all the components needed for a self build blaster electronics kit including the BLTroniX PCB board which has all the required resistors pre-soldered in place.
The Arduino BLTroniX program code is pre-installed on the Arduino Nano.
You have the options to include the headers and/or JST leads with the connectors when purchasing.
Please Note: The kit does NOT include a battery. (These are readily available on the internet.)
I recommend using a 3.7V 18650 Li-Ion battery.
Please buy batteries from a reputable sellers.
Option 2:
Self Build Kit without the BLTroniX PCB
This option Includes all the components for a self build blaster electronics kit excluding the BLTroniX PCB board.
The Arduino BLTroniX program code is pre-installed on the Arduino Nano.
You have the options to include the headers and/or JST leads with the connectors when purchasing.
The self build kit without the PCB is for those with some knowledge of electronics and soldering and wish to install the main components in different parts of their blaster.
Please Note: The kit does NOT include a battery. (These are readily available on the internet.)
I recommend using a 3.7V 18650 Li-Ion battery.
Please buy batteries from a reputable sellers.
Option 3:
