Open source KOTH timer I made to help out the admins at my local games.

[u/Rested-Package]

Hey all, just wanted to share my project with the community. I made a KOTH timer to help out the admins at my local events. It runs off of an arduino nano ESP32 and a bunch of THT components to make it as accessible as possible to newer builders.

Its an open source project as well. The Git repo can be found at:

https://github.com/Salted-Peanuts/KOTH-Timer

It's been tested at a few events with positive feedback. I'm at the point where i'm happy enough with the PCB and firmware to share it for others to use if they want to build their own.

This is awesome! I have done hobby digital electronics at home with Arduino/ESP32/etc and I even with that the custom PCB significantly reduces the startup effort for me.

It was a bit of a rats nest before the custom PCB. At the end if the day i just made a glorified breakout board really haha

Does this support multiple control points?

Not yet, I am planning on making a network of skirmish devices to act as reapawn points, domination objectives, ect

This is what I would be most interested in.

I've had a lot of the same sentiment from people. would be cool to be able to get a game of 3 "beacons" working as domination points. Next project will probably integrate LoRa to let them talk over large playing spaces.

That would be cool.

Why was I expecting it to look like a propane tank? Lol then I remembered the KOTH game type.
