OK we need an output to switch the LED's on and off as soon as we launch a lightgun game ;) Well if the LED's eventualy stop being bright enough......replace them. I bet they got 100.000 hour lasting versions in a year or 4...... --- End quote --- Well, how do we overcome this? |

It will take a while for it to be a problem and replacing the LED's would be easy. There is nothing particullary special about the electronics in the stands. 2. A simple on off switch. Probably best to use an external power supply with this option instead of hacking the USB power plug. 3. As mentioned the LED-Wiz and a relay could be used. 4. Any other computer controlled switch setup could be used. |

Don't the guns take 5v? If so you could just hook them up to an LEDWiz and have them power on when a gun game is selected in your front-end; no need for a relay at all since the LEDWiz outputs 5v. Edit: Wait... do the stands use the power adapter, or take power from a USB port? |
