Hooking up rumble motors to aimtrak? Need help!
« on: September 14, 2012, 11:24:42 am »
Hi,

I've read through the whole Guncon 2 tutorial several times and I know a lot of people got their guns working with rumble motors. Doesn't seem to work for me though. I'm having a newer revision of the aimtrak (at least mine doesn't look like the one in the tutorial) and Andy couldn't help as he's not supporting hacking the aimtrak this way. He said the driver from the Aimtrak can't support rumble and would need aditional circuitry. I'm prpetty sure the tutorial for the GunCon2 didn't use anything except the 5v from the aimtrak and some wiring. I tried replicating that but couldn't get it to work.

You can see how I wired everything up in the attachment (sorry, couldn't do it better)... and I think the problem is somewhere in my wiring. The motors work (tried with t he 5v + GND from usb) and the gun works as well... they just don't work together.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks in advance!

Olli
