Holy Crap!  AimTrak?  Wow.. a lot has happened since I've been away! :p

Ha ha! I completely thought you was having a dig then! :D

My thoughts:

The current magnet is polarized axially. That gives an even magnetic field in each direction. If you used a magnet that is polarized perpendicular to the shaft and the sensor, you could use several components to measure field direction, but as you rotate it the density of the magnetic field would vary (stronger field near the poles). this would cause problems with the field intensity sensor for direction. I am not sure if it could be overcome via some complicated processing based on the relationship of the two types of sensors, but I would estimate it would be difficult at the least.

haha.. no, I just haven't been here in a while.  I'm glad to see that someone is finally working on something for lightgun lovers like myself.  I still have my doubts about, Topgun/wiimote style tracking but I hope to be proven wrong! :)

any update on the U360 with rotary function? Since the other projects for Andy are out (Aim Track) is this what he is working on now...

Yeah, I would love that too. I don't care much about having top fire with it, but rotary on top of all other modes would be fantastic. I'm very curious if Andy is working on something new, or taking well deserved break?
