The schematic when using pin 5 with the recoil firmware is somewhat simpler! |

| AndyWarne:
It just issues a 40ms pulse when the trigger is pulled, but only when aimed at the screen. Andy |

That's pretty clever! Can it be turned on/off programatically or do you have to reflash the firmware? I'm about to release a fairly substancial new version of mamehooker so if there's a way that I can access the pin via HID interface let me know. I also noticed you've got a fancy new dll for your products after I went to the trouble of adding support the hard way a few years back. Might as well add that in too. ;) |

If you're really worried about that MOSFET shorting across source/gate and killing your AimTrak, you could also look into using a PPTC (Polyfuse, etc) at around 250-300ma to protect it. It'll just blow up rather then kill your $45 AimTrak. I'm going to be building a cabinet myself soon, so this is of interest to me. Handling recoil is something I've been thus far unsuccessful in figuring out. How do you plan on mounting the thing, or getting your Solenoid Plunger to return after it "Fires"? What's it going to knock against? |
