Wiring question about Alien Extermination guns.
Howard_Casto:
I know I'm super late to the party here, but I've decided to buy the alien extermination guns from aliexpress and run them on a pedestal. Assuming I can find the time the idea is I would add the games/emulators slowly, a batch at a time and record a video for each, walking you all through the process. I've watched videos on these guns and there seems to be issues with certain games and emulators. Since I have some coding experience the hope is I can find better solutions for these games than using joy2key and the keypress mamehooker function. Anyway, enough of that.....
So I've got a gun on order and it's on it's way on the slow boat from China. The wiring of these guns isn't super clear. The picture on the product page has the wires labeled like so:
Black = Ground
Red = 24v (recoil)
Yellow = 12v (leds)
Green = Vibrate
It's the green wire that is throwing me off. I don't see a mention of it anywhere and I don't know if that is a manual trigger of the solenoid or a redundant wire or what. Any insight would be great.

green wire isn't connected
Happy to see you got one of this ;)
Howard_Casto:
Cool that works for me. Yeah it was finding the time to work on it more than anything. Mamehooker probably needs an update with official support for these guys. I have some ideas on making things easier.
Back on topic I wonder what it’s connected to. I mean green is usually ground but on ac power. As long as I don’t need it that’s fine I guess.
oddeye45:
The green wire is for a pedal (if you choose to connect one). I didn't do this as I have it connected to my cab that has 24 buttons on it but it may be of use for some. When you get yours I am going to be keen to see if you can figure out the coding for getting the ammo counter to work via Mamehooker as, when I do it, both digits display the same number.
Howard_Casto:
hmm... I wouldn't use it as a pedal since I'll be using real light guns for those games, but an extra button might be nice to hook up the start button. Put it on freeplay and everything would be self contained.
Dights should be easily fixed once I get mine... if they ever ship the dang thing. Frikkin aliexpress.
