The option of having it control the analog axes would be really easy to do. But I wont add this just now.

Does this mean that those of us who want to use this for Terminator 2 are out of luck?
Maybe I missed something about this providing a solution for analog and switch style shooters?
bkenobi:
Wouldn't the T2 stick/gun be too close to the display for this to work? It claims 2'+ in the specs, but last time I looked, I thought the T2 guns were like 1' or less from the glass.
smalltownguy:
No, no, let me rephrase -- I don't want to retrofit this into a T2 gun, I just want this to be an easy solution for me (and my wife -- who loves T2) to be able to play T2 on our cab with light guns.

A quickie question that pertain if I hack these into an EMS TopGun II.
If I keep enough of the EMS TopGun II circuitry & guts in the guns to keep the recoil & laser functions intact, will that draw too much current away from your board & cause it to not work nominally?
Thanks,

It should be OK but a decent recoil solenoid really needs 12 volts or higher. The way it should work is the supply charges up a large capacitor and this is discharged through the solenoid when the trigger is pulled.

Hi Andy-
You're probably thinking of a "real" arcade gun. :]
Actually, the EMS TopGun II runs just off of the USB 5V supply. The recoil is accomplished by spinning a rotary motor that drives a sprung rack & pinion. When the pinion gets to the portion without teeth, the rack slams back for recoil. There's (I assume) minimal circuitry controlling this, as all it has to do is run the motor for an instant each time the trigger is pulled.
On the bright side (pun intended), the laser pointer has a switch, so if using the laser sight on the TopGun II draws too much current, it can be turned off. And, the recoil is also disableable, either by unplugging a portion of the cord or by installing a switch (shameless plug: http://forum.arcadecontrols.com/index.php?topic=93642.0).
Thanks!
-Jason

It really wouldn't take much to gut either a spring or electric airsoft pistol and add the AimTrak and a microswitch. They also make electric blowback models that are already rigged to move the slide when the trigger is pulled.
Wish I hadn't given away all my airsoft guns earlier this year. My MP5-SD3 would have made a pretty sweet lightgun :banghead:
