I went with the super wide which is now on a slow boat. I thought I'd snagged the last 2 cameras from element14 but now my order says they are on back order and not expected to ship until June :(

My camera's turned up :D

now I need to find a way to attach the wide-angle lens's :/

Hi All,
New to light guns but have a few questions.
i have built two Samco guncon2 guns and using the 4 ir sketch, may use prow enhanced sketch, is there a way to re asign some keys. EG move the calibration key to the down key on the d pad and asign ESC to the up key. Also move the reload key from the left side to the bottom (currently the calibration key) ?
Thanks,

Hey guys,

Finally got myself some Samco boards for some light gun action..

Samco: Absolutely awesome work! This is so convenient with the PCB all laid out! I've uploaded the 4IR_beta sketch, and it tracks well. (GCon2, 32u4).
Also, I saw your cool mini cabinet with that sweet recalbox setup. Any chance you will ever share it (without roms)? Is it a pi3 or 4?

Anyway - I'm loving it so far. Will make a dedicated cabinet similar to my main cab (link), but with just one monitor.
Thanks a lot for making this! :)

Prow: That looks like some nice updates! I just had a go with your sketch as well. My setup works well so far on Samco's 4IR_beta on a guncon2 with a 32u4 5V.
With your sketch, however, I have trouble calibrating. Both X and Y seems to be offset by more than half my 27" screen, and when calibrating, the A and B buttons do not seem to have any effect. (This part also works well with Samco's sketch.)
Also tried the relevant dpad buttons to move the X/Y centering (pushed momentarily and held them down lots of times), but nothing happened. (all buttons work in notepad).
In other words - As soon as I start calibrating by pressing the trigger while aiming at the center cursor, the cursor jumps quite far upwards for the vertical alignment, and I cannot get it to center or track any closer. And a similar jump to the left edge when starting horizontal calibration.
So I get smooth tracking from both sensor bars it seems, but offset by a huuge margin. (30-40cm horizontal and 15-20cm vertical)
Any ideas?

(I don't know how to set compiler options, but as far as I could see from the docs, I could leave all at default for 32u4 and guncon2.)

Cheers,
Frode

Thanks Frode! Yeah, my mini cabinet runs on a Pi4 8Gb. Was planning on cleaning up the theme a bit (it's the first one I've ever made so it's a bit of mess) and adding a few more guns i.e. PS2 etc but got a bit busy so went on the back burner. Hopefully one day I'll get some time to fix it all up and release it.

Cheers Sam(co)
