Thanks samco.

I tested the power coming from the usb cable and it seems too low so I think it might be a problem with the cable I used.

Did you say that a wii bar should work? I thought that the multiple leds in the would be an issue?
If not I’ll try that as I have one lying around.

It was the aimtrak bar that I used and it was detecting it but jumping around.
I’m wondering now though if that’s the camera rotation. I think the led power light is at the top.

I just need to wait until I get home to check.

Thanks for the tips. I’m nearly there!

Thanks @howard_casto as well for the tip. My current phone doesn’t seem to detect it but I have an older one that I can try somewhere.

And that's to make sure your camera is up the right way up (apparently some of the stickers on these camera are not quite right). If your camera is installed correctly the red light on your camera should closest to the left wall of your gun when holding it in a shooting position, hopefully that makes sense. Anyway, good luck and let me know how ya go :)

Oh I completely forgot something important, some recent batches of this camera have the camera tilted (manufacturer porblem), so if it works weird with camera in the right orientation, just tilt it 90° left or right, and it should be working.

Thats great man! Yeah, I've been using this one from aliexpress https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32963414424.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.7ce44c4dEOVMFi which only has the 6 leds and it works great. I'm pretty sure most of the proper wii ones have an extra 4 leds but I think they should still work can't confirm thou as I haven't been able to test. From what I can tell I don't think the aimtraks will work thou, due to the different layout of Leds.

Do you think it would be possible to use an Arduino to make a Guncon 3 work on a Windows PC?

I have been after a solution for this for a while. Someone was able to make one work on a Linux pc by writing custom drivers. How hard would it be to make an Arduino translate Guncon 3 traffic to move a mouse cursor or act as an analog joystick in Windows?

Wow.. handmade custom lightgun! I just ordered component you mentioned.

By the way, I have a question.

Is this lightgun have a off-screen reload function?

Off-screen reload is... when IR camera can't find LED module, pulling trigger act like right mouse click, not left click.
