Aimtrak problem driving me insane.

Connorsdad:

Here are some photos to show the location of my lightbar, the gap between the top of the monitor screen and lightbar is the same as it was when both were cased.






Things I have tried so far,

1. Switching off all light sources
2. Switching off LED buttons and lower LED strip
3. Covering up lit marquee and lower bezel

Connorsdad:

I calibrated it today, tested it now and again over the course of a couple of hours and it was working fine. Rebooted to test and again the calibration has been lost. The sensor view tab in the aimtrak util shows the gun to be working fine and yet the cursor is all over the place but mainly goes left and right along the very top of the screen.

Fursphere:

Because of the unique nature of your cabinet, I'm wondering if you're having reflection problems from the lower montior / plexi.

Have you tried covering up the lower screen area (anything reflective) with a towel or something?  And the chrome t-molding?  Lots of reflection there too.  Maybe get some masking tape and cover that up as well for testing.

Just some random thoughts.  :)

Connorsdad:

Got both of them to calibrate last night, rebooted and the calibration stuck  :applaud:
Rebooted a number of times and it still works :)

Still working this morning, how or why I don't know but you can bet your ass I wont be calibrating again. When I did the calibration it was dark outside so no natural light from anywhere, house lights and and all arcade lights were on.

EDIT

Not sure if this has anything to do with it but I installed "Setup-3.2.zip" yesterday from here http://www.lg.com/uk/support-product/lg-IPS234V#software
I have just uninstalled it because its basically the same thing as changing display options using windows. When I uninstalled it I chose "Restart PC later", 30 seconds later a bubble popped up on the task bar telling me to "Click here to restart to turn user account control on" so I restarted. Now I know I had turned this off myself months back, after restarting I checked the status of uac and according to control panel it was still set to never notify. I checked to see if my guns were still working and they weren't, knowing the only thing that had changed was the removal of this program I reinstalled it, my guns are working fine again. Some one with more knowledge than me may know why this seems to have fixed my problems?



TopJimmyCooks:

i had basically the exact same issue.  2 guns, etc.  Here's what I did:

I got a new, different version  firmware file from Andy (warne) that seemed to help some.  Also, when I had a hard time getting a calibration, I completely darkened the room (unfortunately working in a room with windows I couldn't easily cover, so it was done at night.  Took one shell off the gun and took off the front smoked lens.  then, calibrated successfully and put the gun back together.  All IR led signals tested fine throughout-not the problem.    Never been calibrated since and no complaints from the user.  More detail can be provided if needed.  I don't have this rig here anymore to look at.
