| AimTrak Light Gun issues with video projector |
| (1/1) |

Just received my Aimtrak Light gun and having some issues. I'm trying to use it with my video projector which projects about a 9 foot image. My computer is in the back of the room with my control panel which is about 12-15 feet away from the screen. With the standard length of the USB cord for the sensor bar I can only get the sensor about 3-4 feet in front of the gun. Obviously this isn't working and I can't even calibate the gun correctly becaulse the sensor won't pick up at the sides. Guess I should have read a little more about the functional size of the screen before I purchased. So now for some questions. 1. Is it possible to get the gun working in this configuration? 2. If I manage to extend USB cable and put the sensor above the projected screen area will the gun work at this 12-15 foot range? 3. Does the sensor bar need to actually be plugged into the computer with the gun or could I power the sensor bar with an external USB hub not connected to the computer? Thanks for your input! FatSgt |

The sensor bar is just a bunch of infrared leds, so you don't have to connect it to the computer (just power) I think there is a test utility included in the software which shows what the camera in the gun picks up, so you could use that to see how far back you can go. |

Good info. Thanks! Do you think this sensor may help in this situation? http://www.arcadeguns.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2&products_id=225 Looks like it's made just for projectors/large screens. |
