I dont fancy wheeling the cabinet out every time I want to play a gun game. I believe an external power supply can only be used for the gun and not the stands.. |

Just add one of these to your cab - paint it to match and you are done. http://www.datapro.net/products/70202.html |

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. --- End quote --- Or you could just take the simple route and hack a two pole switch into the cable to the LED stands.... all you have to do is turn it on when you want to play a gun game. This does have another advantage..... I also play windows based gun games and wouldn't necessarily be running an arcade front end to launch them and I'm not in any case, running a LEDWiz. The solutions suggested so far do seem to me to be a bit over complex just to turn off some IR LEDs when they're not needed. There's a lot to be said for the simplest solutions sometimes.

Well, I just had an idea as far as powering the strips on and off... If you are going to have a holster mounted on the cab for the gun, why not hack a USB extension cable to where it's 5v lead goes to a microswitch's NC lead, and then mount it with some soft of lever inside the holster? That way, when the gun is holstered the stands would be off, when you draw the gun they power up? |
