Good to see some cup holder ideas..

Cup holders are a must have IMO. I was trying to figure out what the heck to use that wouldn't look cheesy and then it hit me... Why not use some casino cup holders to go with the flashy Vegas-like trim?

I just got them from an online poker supply site. I think they were around $5 bucks a piece.

Great work so far.  I'm interested to see how the UV LEDs turn out with the flourescent paint.

Got my TopGun II's today. Once they shipped it only took 2 days via FedEX to the states, i'm impressed! Had a snowstorm though and there was no residential delivery for two days and then I missed the fedex guy yesterday (Required a signature) so I finally ended up picking just them up.

I'm trying to do a test drive on my big screen (47" LCD) but i'm having some issues calibrating them. I have the Infrared sensors on the top and bottom of my TV (As recommended by the manual) and I installed the EMS driver (Later tried Smogs driver) but after calibrating according to the manual it seems to be way off. The windows mouse cursor does not follow the laser dot and kind of jumps from top to bottom and in random locations. I tried the Smog driver and in the configuration window no devices show up in the list, I checked device manager in windows and it is using the correct driver. Anyone have any suggestions or have a related experience?

-Im using XP Pro SP3
- Using 2 TopGun II's
- One set of infared sensors, one on top one on bottom of screen
- I unplugged my wireless mouse and keyboard (Only interference I can think of)
- I stand roughly 6 feet from screen and sensors during calibration

I've only been playing around for about 45 minutes, I I figure something out I'll post the solution.

Thanks

Well I figured out the Smog driver issue. Although I was pointing windows towards the Smog driver it was still installing the EMS driver. I have now correctly installed the Smog driver but after calibration it still moves the cursor frantically and it seems that the x y axis are reversed. I will try a different calibration order and continue thinking of what may be causing interference.

Ohh, I also tried the TopGun II debug LCDimage tool but when I try to install the driver it says that it is not compatible for this device (???). It was under the TopGun II downloads and not the TopGun downloads so I would imagine this is the correct driver?? :banghead:
