After deciding to remove the lights from the sensor boards a new circuit was made to reflect those changes. A more compact board designed. The option for four sensors was included but only one was necessary. Feed-through terminals were added which should align with the pads on LED strips. Screw/bolt holes were added.
The circuit was easy to design since it was largely a matter of removing the RJ11 socket and addressable LED. Of course, the ports for the LED strips were added but their presence didn't interfere with the sensor circuit.
The layout eventually used rounded corners so it could be placed directly on clothing if desired. A good portion of the laser tag outfit could include a vest which is a category of wearables.
