GunCon2 on PC-monitor
<< < (35/42) > >>
Fozzy The Bear:
Andy, I'm thinking of having a go at this.... I'm in the UK so shipping a chip to me would be no problem.

I've got my paws on a Logic3 PS099L  Which is G-Con2 Compatible and has a USB plug....  Anybody tried one of these???

My main worry is screwing up my VGA card or monitor in the process.... Is anybody planning to produce a board with your chip that I can just use? I know there's a risk that it may not work and that it's not a commercial release product. But while I'm handy with a soldering iron I'm not 100% confident I won't screw up somewhere with it.

Can anybody on here offer any help with this??

Best Regards,
Julian (Fozzy The Bear)

Crash test dummies wanted !  ;D

Anyone using a PC-monitor wanting to test this circuit...?

I have to ask this because I am considering if and when to produce a few pcs.

The circuit will also be compatible with 15Khz monitors, but the main reason with this is to be able to use the GunCon2s on 31Khz monitors, so crash test dummies must be using a PC-monitor.

I was thinking of sending about 5 pcs. for free.

There is also a design issue here. To take 5V power from pin9 on the VGA connector or to power the circuit with a USB-cable. Modern graphics cards usually have 5V on pin 9 but the cables usually have pin 9 removed. Any comments on this !?

Please don

I'd probably opt for volts off the USB. Not as neat as VGA, but you would be sure to run into a few cards that wouldn't like supplying power off the VGA card.

I would be interested in one.  I too would prefer to see the voltage come from USB or a dedicated drive power cable.
