hi all i am new to electronics
i have been doing a A level course in england and i am now in my 2nd year of it
for the coursework i would like to go and make it awesome because i will not be carrying it onto uni so i'd rather make it extra fun than just to a project for the marks if you get me
i love my shooting, it is my favorite hobby by a long way, so the project i would like to make is an electronic air rifle.
similar to these: daystate . co . uk
but i have no where to start. all i know is i need to discharge a large capacitor through a solenoid to hit a knock open valve on a air tank to release the air to fire the pellet
i would like to have a fully automatic mode so i will need an astable? and a semi automatic
i would also like to add a buzzer which sounds every 10 shots
and if possible a LCD on the side which displays the project name. which i think i will need to do with a PIC
am i going along the right lines here in your opinion?
thank you very much
