SAMCO DIY Arduino Powered IR Light Gun
JayBee:
Funny I was doing the exact same thing for my light guns :lol
I also added a plug just outside of the gun to plug/unplug it at will 8)
johnm:
Same here, I was also thinking that i could just reuse the original cable, solder a USB plug onto it and run a cable from that with a socket on the end for the pedal
Howard_Casto:
Hey I haven't looked at the sketch, but what programming language are you using? I ask because I have Arduino code on this pc somewhere from my racing rig that allowed communication to/from mamehooker via virtual serial port. If it's added mamehooker can optionally control the recoil. Just a thought... you may not be that far along yet.

That's very interesting stuff, I didn't know you could interface mame like this!
SAMCO's Arduino sketch as well as mine are using the Arduino IDE and C++, and we can indeed communicate with serial through USB.
I would gladly see the sketch you made for that, that would help immensely :D

Hi Howard,
Yeah, that would be great. JayBee from the post above has already started working on a recoil system. I haven't looked into yet to be honest but it's good to know that it's possible.
