I redid again and ended up with -7 & +9 for left and right and -4 & +5 for top and bottom. It is working good with those settings.
I just wanted to make sure that the need for the larger offsets wasn't caused by mistakes in the previous steps.

Either way, the gun tracks well after the offsets are applied. :cheers:

Looks little bit strange these offsets :D But glad it works for you now. yeah this step is a bit fiddly but its one time setup ^^

I'll look at my code to see if I did something dumb. It should be ok, as the software came up with the same answers as the manual example I went through earlier. But if that's not correct, it could be a case of "right answer to the wrong question" :)

BadMouth:
Randy, just noticed my side LEDs are off by about the same amount in your program as the line in "2. default LED calibration" in Lichtknarre.

I used the "3. default gun calibration" dynamic calibration screen to set the height of my LEDs. Using the lines in "2. default LED calibration" resulted in the ratio being off and then having to move the top LED up, which I didn't want to do.

I don't want to jump to conclusions. I'll wait to see what you experience when you set up and test.

Plenty of people may have used the program, but how many of them are old codgers who grew up with accurate CRT light guns. :D :oldman

At any rate, it works perfectly with the offsets applied.

RandyT:
Thanks for bearing with me. My calculations were bad and I used it for the software without verifying. Where's the self flagellation emogi? :angry:

@BadMouth (and whoever else might be following along), please delete that first version and try this one. I think (hope) this is a keeper.

Still a tad above, but since I have the oddness of larger offsets than expected, I wouldn't bother trying to revise it until you set your own up. Might be something weird on my end.

I still have to wire the power supply into the cab and transfer my gun gamelist from my old setup. But as far as test screens and windows mouse control go, the guns are working as expected.
