Ok so here it is: I'm a computer gamer and yet I love paintball; so in the great effort to combine my hobbies I'm trying to make a replica, and yet a working one, of the bomb from Counter Strike. It has to have a single line display of at least 7 characters, and a number pad that punches up on the screen. Crystalfontz seems to have the closest thing I've seen to a screen I can work with, but I need ideas on which one, how to power it, and how to make it all run in somethng you can carry across a paintball field, "arm" and then have to have the good guys "disarm" it.
This may be stretching it, but I'll be happy if it even just looks close to the thing from the game; fabricating the shell of the device is the easy part for me, it's the electronics I'm not so hot with.
Attached are a few shots of the thing I'm trying to replicate. Thanks in advance if anyone has any ideas!!
