To solve this, I wrote some software to put on my existing ammo counter circuit. The software allows my circuit to sync with the LTAR during gameplay, or at least anticipate an accurate count of health and shields remaining. This post will serve as a guide of assembling the ammo counter circuit, modifying the LTAR, and…
