Making Light gun Removable(solved)

AX:
I don't know I didn't try that.  Bt to me it seems like it should just pass through since you arent cutting power to it just stopping the driver.  If you connect all the connections and do not connect the USB cable the monitor still works.
Chris:
Really?  On mine if I don't connect the USB cable, I get no display.  Perhaps they changed the design at some point...
AX:
you were correct sorry.  anyway there are 2 colors it could be.  green is labeled as set and blue is labeled as reset.  SO beings as I can not get out to install the gun again into my cab and I can't test it on my main,  I made both jumpers.  One ground to green and one ground to blue.  Very easy and quite un noticeable.  I used 1 wire on each that I took out of a cat5 cable.  1 green one blue.  ran them tot eh appropriate pin on each rj45 and crimped them.  then tucked them into the connector and whichever one works I will hotglue the end to key crap from getting in the rj45.
AX:
guess what it's not that easy.  apparently there is voltage applied to either side of the switch along witht he colored wires and ground at center.  I am nto an electronics expert so I wouldn't know how to make this circuit.  but I am going to try anyway lol.
Sasquatch!:
That sucks.  I was hoping it wouldn't be THIS big of a chore.  Honestly, I'm somewhat unpleasantly surprised that Act-Labs didn't make the gun removable/detachable on their own.
