Aimtrak Solutions!

[themarkjohn]

Hi guys. Got my aimtrak guns up and running software wise. The pieces of my project are slowly coming together hardware wise, so in the interim im playing with my guns! What i would like to hear are some solutions for mounting the LED bar for the aimtrak. I have searched and can only find guides on how to hide it in the bezel of a monitor. What im looking for is a less permanent housing idea. Will it fit in a WII sensor bar wit out bending the LEDs? Im hesitant to bend those things because they fell like they will break off if i so much as look at them funny. I read on an old post about housings that ultimarc sold that you can put them in but forgot to ask when i placed my order and after looking did not see anything like that on the website.

ArcadeGuns sells a housing kit.

This is part of what I'm working on to house my Lightbar.



You can see the holes for the 5+1 IR LEDS on the bottom tube.

Trust me. You probably don't want to go this route.

You're building an arcade in a trombone?! 

Sorry, I couldn't resist!

I've had more than one person tell me it looks like a trombone.

Wasn't my initial thought, but it'll work! Once I get the rest soldered together, I'm hoping it makes a bit more sense.

Looks steampunk to me.  I <3 steampunk stuff.

Yeah, that's the look I'm gunning  for, but after all it's taken, that 6$ ArcadeGuns black box is looking awfully nice....
