Lightgun Calibration is NOT fun...

wbassett:
I am also following threads dealing with the LCD Topgun.  IR is one thing I haven't checked for yet.

To be honest, after my initial attempts to get it working I haven't gone back yet to try it again... I got side tracked and busy with some other projects.

It's a shame though, the gun looks really nice and I bought it based on the various reviews I found on the web.  (Sure wish I would have known about this site when I bought the gun!) 

I really want to like this gun and hope Smog's drivers do the trick, but I can't help thinking/feeling that for a gun that's a bit more expensive than others out there it should have been further tested and perfected by the company so it worked right out of the box with manufacturer provided drivers. 

I'll play around with it some more later this week and if I can't get it up and running or it is quirky like it seems it is with some... since I have a CRT I may opt for the Act-Labs guns instead.  Have to wait and see though and I will give the Topgun the benefit of doubt for now.

Stub:
On their site you can download a diag program for the guns. It shows you a veiw down the barrel of the gun in infrared. You can see what it sees. Download it and try it.

I bought two. My cab is not finished, but in tests with my laptop they worked surpurb. I just had to back up a foot or two.

I still dont understand why they dont have their own drivers for their own product  ???

Well, I don't have a Wii.

The only thing that is on in the garage is the refrigerator and the cabinet.  There is no way that the monitor or cab itself is emitting anything that would cloud the signal? It could be that I have sensors on the garage doors that are causing interference?  How far away from that signal must I be to not have it factor in?

My biggest question is that if there was IR interference, would it would be as consistent as it is? To those with previous IR interference problems, was the result more erradic?  My problem is such that when I point the gun at the screen, the mouse will always be in the same position, it is just closer to the edge of the monitor than I am aiming.   The only time I am sync'd up is when I am aiming dead center.
