1. Job Description We are building FyreFite, a real-world recreational tank battle experience based in NSW, Australia. Modified 4x4 vehicles are fitted with tank bodywork and compete using laser tag and a GPS-based firing system. We need an embedded systems developer to build and integrate the hardware sensor package for each vehicle. 2. What You Will Build Each vehicle has a Raspberry Pi running a browser-based radar application. Your job is to make the physical sensors talk to that system reliably. Specifically: - GPS module — tracks the real-time position of each vehicle - Compass module — reads the turret bearing as the gunner rotates it - Tilt/inclinometer sensor — reads the cannon barrel elevation angle - All sensors wired to an Arduino or directly to Raspberry Pi GPIO - Sensor data delivered to the browser app in a defined format You will also integrate two physical outputs triggered by software events: - Compressed air thumper — fires when the vehicle shoots or is hit, shaking the vehicle and making a loud noise - Door open sensor — triggers a safety interlock that disables vehicle movement 3. Responsibilities - Select appropriate sensor modules for GPS, compass, and barrel elevation - Wire all sensors so they can be mounted in separate physical locations on the vehicle (up to 1 metre of cable from the central board) - Write Arduino or RPi firmware to read all sensors and output clean combined data - Agreed output format: GPS:lat,lon|COMPASS:bearing|TILT:angle - Interface with the software developer on data format and timing - Wire and test the compressed air thumper trigger from a software signal - Wire and test the door open sensor - Install and calibrate the sensor package on the prototype vehicle at the NSW site - Document wiring diagrams and setup instructions so units can be replicated for 10+ vehicles 4. Requirements - Hands-on experience with Arduino (Uno, Nano, or similar) - Experience with GPS modules (NEO-6M or similar), compass/magnetometer (HMC5883L or BNO055), and IMU/tilt sensors (MPU6050 or BNO055) - Comfortable with sensor wiring, soldering, and building rugged enclosures for outdoor/vehicle use - Able to communicate sensor data via USB serial or Raspberry Pi GPIO - Able to work alongside a software developer and deliver to a defined interface spec - Based in Australia — on-site work in NSW north coast required at testing phase 5. Nice To Have - Experience mounting electronics in vehicles or outdoor environments - Familiarity with Raspberry Pi GPIO - Experience with inclinometers or tilt sensors in moving environments

FyreFite is a brilliant concept — and the sensor package you've described is exactly my kind of build. One suggestion before we start: use the BNO055 for both compass and barrel elevation. One chip, one calibration routine, cleaner wiring. Saves you a module and a failure point across 10+ vehicles. I've shipped production firmware for NEO-6M GPS, BNO055, and Arduino/RPi serial pipelines many times. I'll deliver your exact output format — GPS:lat,lon|COMPASS:bearing|TILT:angle — tested and stable before your software developer touches it. The thumper trigger and door interlock are clean GPIO work. I'll add flyback protection and test both against live software signals. I build for real environments — vibration, dust, long cable runs. Every unit gets full wiring diagrams and replication docs, so your crew can build the remaining vehicles without calling me back. Available for the NSW north coast install and calibration. Happy to discuss sensor procurement status and your first prototype date. When's a good time to talk this week?

Hi, your FyreFite project is an excellent match for my background in embedded systems, vehicle-mounted electronics, sensor fusion, and Raspberry Pi/Arduino integration. I have 10+ years of experience developing embedded hardware and firmware, including GPS tracking, IMU systems, GPIO control, telemetry, and rugged outdoor electronics for mobile platforms and industrial equipment. ✅ I will select and integrate suitable GPS, compass, and tilt sensors with attention to calibration stability, vibration resistance, cable lengths, and reliable operation in moving vehicle environments. ✅ I will develop the Arduino/Raspberry Pi interface firmware to deliver clean real-time data in your required format while handling filtering, sensor validation, and communication reliability. ✅ I will implement the compressed-air thumper and door-interlock circuitry, then provide wiring diagrams, calibration procedures, and replication documentation for deployment across multiple vehicles. ✅ What update rate and position accuracy are required for gameplay and targeting responsiveness? ✅ How is the turret mechanically coupled to the compass sensor, and what rotation range must be supported? ✅ Is there an existing vehicle power system available, and what voltage range should the electronics be designed to tolerate? Best, Yaroslav

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ FyreFite is a great blend of embedded systems, vehicle integration, and real-time sensor fusion. The technical challenge isn't just reading GPS, compass, and tilt data—it's ensuring accurate, stable measurements in a moving vehicle with vibration, electrical noise, long cable runs, and changing magnetic conditions from the turret and chassis. I have experience with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, GPS, IMUs, vehicle-mounted electronics, and custom sensor integration. I can develop a robust hardware package that delivers clean data to your radar application while remaining easy to replicate across 10+ vehicles. I can help with: • Sensor selection (GPS, compass, inclinometer) • Arduino/RPi hardware integration • Long-cable sensor wiring and protection • Firmware development and calibration • Data output formatting (GPS:lat,lon|COMPASS:bearing|TILT:angle) • Compressed-air thumper control interface • Door safety interlock implementation • Wiring diagrams and deployment documentation A few questions: Is the turret rotation continuous (360°) or mechanically limited? What GPS update rate is required? Will the sensor controller communicate via USB serial or directly through GPIO/UART to the Raspberry Pi? I'd enjoy helping turn this into a rugged, field-ready system that performs reliably during live events.

Hi, The biggest risk in this project is not selecting the right sensors—it is ensuring stable, low-latency communication and reliable synchronization between distributed vehicle-mounted hardware and the Raspberry Pi system under real-world vibration, movement, and outdoor conditions. I have experience in embedded systems development, Arduino and Raspberry Pi integration, sensor integration and hardware-level design for mobile platforms. For this project, I would focus on: 1. Selecting and integrating reliable GPS, compass, and inclinometer sensors suitable for outdoor vehicle use and vibration environments 2. Designing robust wiring and communication architecture between distributed sensors and a central Arduino or Raspberry Pi controller 3. Designing for rugged deployment including cable routing, EMI/noise protection, and mechanical stability The goal is to build a reliable embedded sensor system with repeatable performance across multiple ruggedized units operating in an outdoor battlefield environment. A couple of questions: 1. Should the system prioritize fastest possible real-time updates or smoother filtered sensor stability? 2. Do you prefer Raspberry Pi or Arduino to act as the primary controller for sensor fusion and data output? If you message me, I can outline the most practical system architecture and deployment strategy for a scalable multi-vehicle embedded sensor network. Best regards, Prat PCB Must Innovations

Projects like yours often stall because of miscommunication between hardware and software components. Getting the physical sensors to communicate reliably with the Raspberry Pi for your tank battle experience is crucial. My approach focuses on ensuring that each sensor, GPS, compass, and tilt, is correctly wired and integrated to send clean data to the browser app. I have solid experience working with Arduino and Raspberry Pi, as well as hands-on skills in soldering and building durable electronics for rugged environments. As a practical tip, it could be beneficial to test each sensor individually before final integration to identify any issues early on. This can save time down the line. The initial deliverable should be ready in about 30 days. What’s your deadline, when do you need this live?

Hi there! Quick question: are you planning to use a single central Arduino/Pi to handle all vehicle sensors, or will each sensor have its own microcontroller module communicating back to the main system? Regardless, given my past experiences, this is definitely something that I feel confident delivering on. Kind Regards, Corné
