Hi guys,

I've had a talk with NanotechGaming, creator of the Optigun/USB2Gun board. They have agreed to share the gerber files for the board with an open source license. I would have loved to order a bunch and start offering it on this forum but the license is strictly for non commercial use. Any one of you can take these files and use them to order and assemble your own copy on sites like PCBWay.com.

I feel like a lot of development when it comes to lightguns as been focused on getting light guns to work on non-CRTs... it's kind of ridiculous people with gun cabs have even started ripping out their CRTs just so they can get it to work..
I hope with this development we'll see more original lightgun cabs.

Anyway you can find the files here:

I'll add some mirrors later on.

Cheers and have a good one,
shanki

ooooooh!

lemme know. I'm dying to build another CRT based cab eventually.   I think I want in.

I'm pretty sure creating them in a hobby instance and splitting up the money at *ahem* cost *ahem* would be fine.  You just can't go start selling them retail.

shanki:
I was ready to order a bunch and resell them but if not for a tiny bit of profit I don't see it as worthwhile. Don't get me wrong I don't mind ordering for a bunch of friends and even Forum members, but me ordering the boards from the US and having them ship to me here in Europe only to send them back to the US doesn't make that much sense to me if there is nothing in it for me.

So that said give it a bit of time for people to discover this and maybe you will be able to be part of a bulk buy from someone in NA.

Thanks for sharing

Unfortunately, this won't do anyone a lot of good without porting to a new processor.  The CY7C63743 is obsolete and this looks to take two.

Check the BOM and parts availability before making PCBs.
