LARP Electronic Sword and Armour: ESP32 POC to Production-Ready PCB
LARP Electronic Sword: Building Smart Combat Gear Step by Step
Live Action Role-Playing becomes far more exciting when the weapons and armour can register hits automatically. This project created an immersive multiplayer LARP game built around electronic armour and swords.
CADLETE Designs started with a proof of concept using ESP32 boards and the relevant sensors and components. To keep early testing affordable and fast, we built the enclosure from low-cost laser-cut MDF.
Once testing proved the concept, we designed and developed the PCB for final production. We also created a modern, minimalist armour design to give players a clean, contemporary look.
This staged approach, from a low-cost POC to a production-ready PCB, helped the client validate the idea before investing in final hardware.
