Big GUN4IR announcements!

Big announcement for GUN4IR!

With many people now owning and enjoying GUN4IR, we can move forward with the next step for our system. New firmware and hardware options!

Our diamond style IR LEDs setup have always been the best in terms of accuracy and distance to the display, but we’ve heard the community’s cries for the older "legacy" styles.
Moving forward, with gun4ir you can expect support for 2 or 4 led points using:
•    Sensor bars
•    Rectangle shape and LEDs in the corners
•    And of course, our own diamond shape is still fully supported and encouraged

When using the legacy shapes and bars, you will lose accuracy/stability and generally need to have greater distance to your display, but we understand some users can’t install the GUN4IR diamond shape on their setup and are fine with the trade off.
Since it will be using the same powerful GUN4IR code that has been perfected over years of real world testing and user feedback, you can rest assured you will have the best support for any setup.

The best part? You will not need to buy new hardware for your existing GUN4IR lightguns or modify them in any way. They’re already compatible!

This next firmware will also come with several new features and improvements that have been announced/discussed before such as:
•    Full analog stick support
•    Improved feedback handling
•    More feedback options
•    More button options
•    Linux GUI support
•    And a lot of other surprises 😉

Coming this summer!

We want to thank this awesome community for sticking with us, GUN4IR has always been a passion project and could not have reached this level without your support.

As always, to keep up to date with GUN4IR, the best places are here and our Discord server: https://discord.gg/muCdu3b4hH

Stay tuned for the next big announcement!
