My apologies for this - I am not totally sure what you mean??

A light sensor is also on my to-do list. The sensor is a light activated on/off switch, so with the right code added to the 'Firecannon' code and replacing the switch on A0 it should be 'fairly' easy to figure out. I wish we had a few Arduino guru's on here as they could probably do these things standing on their head. It would be a far better way of activating the gun.

One thing I did find was that the Uno was heavier on a cheap Nimh than I expected. It didn't last 6 hours, the IR stopped working but the sensors were ok.

I did buy a Mega 2560 board to do the full Monty tank, but I don't have a bang up to date tx, and don't really fancy spending out on a new one just to play with the system. The board that I received was faulty so that went back for a refund anyway...
