/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/my-first-try-using-the-magiquest-wand-with-an-arduinoSo I have been looking around online for ways to use the MagiQuest wand at home, but have found very few solutions. I decided to make my own. Using the Arduino IR library I got some raw values from the wand using a old IR sensor from a VCR and then ten-USTelligent Community 12https://community.element14.com/members-area/personalblogs/b/blog/posts/my-first-try-using-the-magiquest-wand-with-an-arduinoTue, 10 Feb 2015 02:19:08 GMT93d5dcb4-84c2-446f-b2cb-99731719e767:a9a45921-884b-4cb6-a3dc-fdafd66f1354e14 Contributor0<p><span id="70ed0ef8_648f_42ce_b244_fa9adc6b0205"><span>[View:https://players.brightcove.net/1362235890001/NkxiVJdjx_default/index.html?videoId=4041662701001:740:466]</span></span></p><p><span id="199071a5_2ae2_4747_bb92_dc8d429c527c"><span>[View:https://players.brightcove.net/1362235890001/NkxiVJdjx_default/index.html?videoId=4105964844001:740:466]</span></span></p><p>I had to cut some parts where the Arduino wouldn&#39;t respond.

My family has been enjoying MagiQuest and the wands for years. My son had an amazing look of joy on his face one day when I told him that I had captured the magic and brought it home. Since non-hackers must leave the magic at Great Wolfe Lodge. Noting that you can often pickup additional wands on eBay. And of course the baby girl had to get a pink wand.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>To help in this venture I had successfully decoded the wands format into a fork of <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://github.com/mpflaga/Arduino-IRremote" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">mpflaga/Arduino-IRremote</a> as to uniquely identify each wands serial number and magnitude of swish (along with adding 2.5ch Helicopters, another project) and implement them into Arduino UNO&#39;s and Digispark&#39;s (ATtiny85) to create a <a class="jive-link-external-small" href="https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B5CCDYzShOW3R21oRW5hSy1ScGc/edit?pli=1" rel="nofollow ugc noopener" target="_blank">Dueling MagiQuest Wand Game</a> for Detroit&#39;s Maker Fair.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Have Fun, hacking...</p><img src="https://community.element14.com/aggbug?PostID=19865&AppID=293&AppType=Weblog&ContentType=0" width="1" height="1">
