well thing are moving on still waiting for the arrival of all the parts but while sitting down and thinking about things ive suddendly relised i forgotten 1 vital part and that is networking it all together lol .

So i have now got 2 things to chouse from

1) Hard wire it all in to a switch or router

2) Add a Wireless Bridge / Router and hard wire it all into that them bridge it all into my main network at home wich btw is quite extensive.

I think im going to go for option 2 and go wireless with it all. But along with this brings even more problems and that is power. The mains power going in is only 1 lead and this has to run every things so sounds quite simple. the problem is there is so many devices with in this cab the wireing is getting and gone well past and beyond a joke. Trying to keep every thing tidy is a complete and total and utter nightmare.

Some radical thinking needs to go into place now and i think im going to have to tear C-Macc's complely apart and start again once every thing fully arrives.

Allso thinking about the guns should i go with adding side USB's to each side of the unit or should i just hardwire it all in ... Oh the problems this project brings in.

I dont get many suggestions on what to do and nealy every thing ive done has been through pure and unadultrated "stuff it lets just see if it works". wich has cost me in the long run in costly mistakes and uneeded purchcases.

the spares i have left over is mouting up and well lets say i have enogh to build a second project.

hmm think ill have to sit down and have a long hard think abou what i do next hehe.

boy oh boy am i pissed off. The lcd light guns arrived today.The problem isnt he light guns its the delivery man demanding £23 off me due to UK tax and VAT. so in total importing 2 x lcd lightguns has just cost me £80 what a frigin rip off this country is.

Second problem now lays with the guns and the cab. The cab is on a angle and the light gun LEDS need to be facing you directly lese when you aim top left or top right it goes out of sink. so either i have to mount the leds on the out side of the cab using some sort of braket or im buggerd...... No reviews tell you that now do they ...

hmm ill sort it never the less, allso im going to by my self a powed hub as well since the recoil is like a lazey man recoil when it decides to work lol ...
