Tagger Sensors embedded acrylic resin

Made my sensors with clear acrylic resins with small amount of colour pigment added, also made the pcb's from fibreglass.

The ones I made are for fitting on our assault vest, with two shoulder sensors and one on the back of the vest, each shoulder sensor has two receivers, 1 forward facing receiver and one facing to the side, with one receiver on the back sensor on the vest



I know most of you guy's use head sensors, I should be able to make ones for a headband much smaller and flatter

Rubber mould solution
Note: Making the rubber mould, take the sensor shape you are intending to use, glue them to the bottom of the container, next step is to find out how much rubber solution you need, fill the container with the sensor shapes with water till this covers the
shapes by about 5-10mm. Pour this water into a measuring jug or the use the container you intend to mix it in, make a mark at the water level with marker, this will give you the right amount require for the rubber solution.

Now dry the container, and spray with a silicone based wax, allow to dry the start to fill with rubber solution, leave mould overnight before you remove, also to make the rubber mould last longer leave a couple of days to fully cure before making sensors.

Repeat this measuring part when making the sensors saves making too much resin solution.

  1. Do the blue tooth modules work good? Any problems?

  2. Have only tested one set with a prototype browning machine gun I'm building as we don't want to be attached to the big gun. Only thing you need another set of batteries for the headband. Phenixtag gear is very good, would recommend the remotes great piece of kit.

  3. What type of resin did you use to embed the sensors in? polyurethane or epoxy?

  4. Any clear polyurethane resin will work, you can add a very very small amount pigment colour
