| Making Light gun Removable(solved) |

| Sasquatch!:
Cool! |
| Chris:
THe Act-Labs cable has 8 wires, so I used an RJ-45 connector. Note, however, that the calibration switch is normally closed, and is opened to go into calibration mode; thus, if you disconnect the gun, the system goes into calibration mode! So you can make the gun removable, but you can't play with the gun removed... --Chris |
| Brad Lee:
If youve got rj45 plugs and a crimper, just take a single strand of awg22 or -24, loop it betwen the pins needed to close the calibration circuit, and crimp away Kinda like a homemade loopback plug |
| AX:
excellent Idea! Do you remember what color wire it is? |
| Chris:
I had thought of that. However, since I don't intend to play without the guns connected, I wasn't too worried about it. If I did anything to account for it, I'd probably put in a VGA switch instead to route the video signal around the control box; this would also be useful for setting BIOS options and such. --Chris |
